I'm Not Leaving


Come dream with me my love,
Feel what it's like to be young and alive once again.
I know there are dragons and fire and chains,
and the tower you're in has become home and you feel safe in there.

But it's still a prison that holds you,
and I know how you cry through the lonely nights,
and I know all your princes deserted you,
and I know that hope has laid you bare.

How I long to fight for you.
I know I'm only a poor boy,
and I have all my own demons still to face.

But I want to build you a castle of comfort,
a free place where you can wake up to my smile.
I hate the scars they've left on your heart,
and the way they've crushed your wings.

I know your strength is weak my love,
I just need you to say yes and to take my hand.
