you know that you need it

i know that you need it
i know that you don't need to me to repeat it
everything i have to give, i'll give to you
it's not like we planned it, you tried to stay
but you could not stand it
to see you shut down so slow
as though it was an easy thing to do

listen when
all of this around us will fall over
i'll tell you what we're gonna do
you will shelter me, my love
and i, i will shelter you

i left you heartbroken
but not until those very words were spoken
has anybody ever made such a fool out of you?
it's so hard to believe it
even as our eyes do see it
the very things that made you live, are killing you

we will shelter you
i will shelter you
we will pray with you, shelter you
we'll shelter you


listen when, all of this around us has fallin' down
i will shelter you
