Ivory

You come closer, but I hide away
In my mind it's safe inside
I try not to, but these feelings are mine
And no one can see from the outside
You push right through this veil of mine
As you come to love my truth

And it seems so easy
But you don't know the real me
And on broken Ivory, I lay you my story

And to find my way home
I beg you stay, tonight
If you just wrap me with your hands of gold, so tight
And I, have to say I wish it wasn't meant to be this way
When you're so close and I'm so far away

Say you love me, say you wish that I was the one
While I pick up, pieces of this scattered life for fun
Reckless, hurt and lost just like I used to b
And the shackles of the past, that never once set me free

And it seems so easy
But you don't know the real me
And on broken Ivory, I beg you please forgive me

And to find my way home
I beg you stay, tonight
If you just wrap me with your hands of gold, so tight
And I, have to say I wish it wasn't meant to be this way
When you're so close and I'm so far away

I'd swim a thousand oceans, just to see you smile
But I never want to come close to see you cry
A puzzle of a million pieces, I've become
And maybe one day I'll be back to one
