I wrote this in 2021 from the perspective of my then fiancé, now spouse, speaking with me.
Lyrics
Hide nothing from me:
have the years of constant pain and silent tears
made this flower fade?
Are you pushing me away?
Hide nothing from me:
are you screaming out my name in the night-time?
Are you running from the storm?
Are you pushing me away?
CHORUS:
How many times do I have to say that I love you,
how many times do I have to say
that I don't want you to go away?
Can you read me?
Can you hear me calling?
How many times do I have to say that I need you to stay—
Hide nothing from me:
do you feel your life being taken from beneath your feet;
and when you see my face,
do you see your stolen days? (C)
Let me break down the walls
that stand guard for your heart,
that I may be yours till my life is o'er...
Let me dry every tear
that should roll down your face;
let me carry you home. (C)
