Yours is an island of wild weeds and lush, tangled ground

Unbridled energy, all possibility

You pull yourself up on two feet that have not stood alone

Slowly and gingerly

Reaching with toes

It's hard, the way you look at me

With a rage I cannot place

But I'm not the enemy

I'll carry you through your pain

You can hide away, hold your heart at bay

I know you wanna be loved

Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart

I will be like gravity, always true

I won't give up on you

For every two steps that go forward, there's one that crawls back

These are the highs and lows

Those who have been here know

But that doesn't stop us from marching back into the mire

Insult to injury and we breathe fire

It's hard, the way you look at me

With a rage I cannot place

But I'm not the enemy

I'll carry you through your pain

You can hide away, hold your heart at bay

I know you wanna be loved

Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart

I will be like gravity, always true

I won't give up

Our love's not a race, only one of us wins

I pushed you so hard not to quit or give in

I look back now, past the anger and fear

You were suffering and you were all alone in it

So you can hide away, hold your heart at bay

I know you wanna be loved

Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart

I will be like gravity, always true

I won't give up on you

I'll never give up on you
