The Way I Love Her
I'd be lying
If I said I wasn't terrified
Killing myself trying
Been running
All my life
I'd be lying
If I told you
I didn't want this
Because I do
I want this
More than I want to breathe
I want you
Next to me
I want this miracle
Inside of me
I want it so badly
I can feel her in my arms
But I'm still so scared
Still young
So young
And terribly foolish
Can I be enough
For her
Can I be
What I never had
Can you be the dad
I never knew
I love you
And is that enough
To be enough for her
Will she love me
The way I already love her
Will she forgive me
When she realizes
In time
There's a real human behind these eyes
That I'm not perfect
Will she still love me
Like I love her
Baby please
I'm shaken
And terrified to the bone
I don't want to let this go
Tired of being alone
But I don't want
To hurt her
The way I was
I don't want to leave her
Like he left me
I want to be
What she needs
What you see
When you look at me
I know
You love me
So will she love me
Like I love her
Because I love her
Growing strong
Inside of me
I love her
My whole world
Wrapped up
In one wish
I never knew
I prayed for
Is it too much
To ask for it all to go okay
To be alright
Is it too much
To need strength right now
For her
Because I just need to know
Will she love me
The way I love her
