Let Me Love You

I still remember when I used to feel
Not so great
I would turn to you to take my troubles away
I would see myself out, sit in the backyard and cry
Sometimes it took hours for the tears to dry

I still remember when I used to feel
Not so great
I would find comfort in your promise
The wind was your embrace
Sometimes it was daytime and the sunshine
Was your hand on my face

I remember when I used to feel
Not so great
I would open my mouth to the heavens and
Pray

God, let me love you
The way my heart remembers how
God, let me love you
Please let me see you now
God, let me love you
Like when I was innocent
I’m just so confused
And I think . . . I’m losing it

I still remember the joy of the bubble
I was in
I didn’t even know the pain of my depression
Now I hide myself under the covers of my bed and cry
Sometimes it takes hours for my tears to dry

I still remember the joy of the life
I lived then
Sometimes I wish I could be that child again
The rain was your embrace
And the thunder and the lightning all around me
Was you calling my name

I remember the joy of living
When you stayed
I would open my mouth to the heavens and
Pray

God, let me love you
You don’t have to disappear
God, let me love you
It was easier when you were here
God, let me love you
I can make for you a home
God, let me love you
The way I used to know

Oh, let me sing to you when I have no
Words to say
I forgot how to open my mouth to the heavens
And
Lay my soul bare
In moments of fear
But I cannot go there
It was easier when you were here
Now you are no where
And the wind is not your warmth
God, let me love you
Though I am lost in a storm

God, let me love you
I still remember how
God, let me love you
I wanna tell you how I’m doing now
God, let me love you
Like when I was innocent
I feel so confused
I think I’m losing it
