When you look at her that way

Then you turn and walk away

You hide the fire in your eyes

Behind your silence, behind your pride

She loves you like she never knew

Like the sky belongs to blue

You're the king inside her heart

Even when you stand apart

With you the world goes quiet still

Like time bends to your will

You don't see the light you bring

You don't hear her heartstrings sing

Oh, don't you see?

Well, the past was fire, not destiny

It burned to teach, not to destroy

To give and to

Oh, strip your fear away

Yesterday was just a lesson, not your cage

Step from the fire into the light

She's been yours all this time

When you meet by chance somewhere

Just a moment, just a stare

You talk a little soft and low

Then you leave and never know

You are her courage in the dark

You are her quiet beating spark

In her hardest nights alone

You're the light inside her soul

She tried to walk another way

Tried to make her heart obey

But every path, no matter where

Turns and finds you standing there

Oh, don't you see?

The past was fire, not destiny

It burned to teach, not to destroy

To clear the ground

Oh, she learned to stand without your hand

Learned not to chase, to understand

But love like this don't fade away

It grows deeper every day

Again, again

Only you

Only you

When will you see?

You're everything she'll ever need

When will you feel the way her whole world turns when you appear?

Oh, don't run anymore

You're the one she's waiting for

Every time you walk away

You go deeper in her heart

Deeper and deeper

Deeper and deeper
