lyrics

I want to know who it was,
Who made you believe you were not good enough.
I wonder if they'd have something to say if they knew the damage they've done.

‘Cause I see the blue in your eyes,
Is more than the color that's living inside.
It's draggin’ you down, like gravity's found, a spirit that died.

And though you've grown to walk with doubt,
Here's my promise,
You'll always have this,
Love I give you now.

This mountain of pain in your past,
Does not rise before you, but still holds you back.
So maybe it's time to carefully and climb up ahead and find a new path.

And if you come to walk with doubt,
Here's my promise,
You'll always have this,
Love I give you now.

When you've only known the dark,
Light can hurt your eyes,
But soon it starts-to fill your heart,
And ease your mind.

And if you come to walk with doubt,
Here's my promise,
You'll always have this,
Love I give you now.
