Heart Sing

In a dream
so far away
lived a girl
who couldn't face the day.

In a life
so guarded from
the everyday world, but her world
was worldy enough.

She kept her walls up high.

Until you, she never cried
but she'd never tried
'cuz the risks were too extreme.
Until you, she never cursed
but she'd never even spoken a word
because her heart had never sang.
Until you, she had never
even thought of forever as anything
other than nothing.

You made her heart sing, oh,
you made her believe.

It took awhile,
it wasn't instant.
She tried to shut him out
but he was patient.

Then one by one,
her shields came down.
He took her hand, he helped her stand,
helped her feet find the ground.

She'd never felt so much.

Until you, she never cried
but she'd never tried
'cuz the risks were too extreme.
Until you, she never cursed
but she'd never spoken a word
'cuz her heart had never sang.
Until you, she had never
even thought of forever as anything
other than nothing.

You made her heart sing.
You made her believe.

Who could've asked for better
than a love that'll last forever?
They knew that it was true.

Who could've asked for more than
everything they've ever wanted
I couldn't ask for more,
no more than you.

Until you, I'd never cried
but I'd never even tried anything
'cuz the risks were too extreme.
Until you I'd never trusted
I'd never opened up myself to anyone
thank you for showing me,
for making me believe, oh,
you make my heart sing.

It took awhile,
it wasn't instant,
she'd tried so hard to shut him out
but he was patient.
