I wish she was ready

Lyrics

Remember that laughter, echo in the brick walls? Felt like a fortress, protectin' us from the falls. The battle was the battle, fought tooth and nail, you see, Against the shadows that constantly haunted me. And your scars aligned with the cracks in my own shell, A silent agreement, a story we knew well. The love was love like no other, a fierce, desperate plea, Two drowning souls clingin' to a storm-tossed sea.

Hook: And I don't know why she was so unsure, Like a bird in a cage, could take it no more. The past had a hold, wouldn't let her be, Just fragments of joy, for all eyes to see

my wish was to gold you, every facet to shine, Felt like I saw you deeper than your own design. But now the damage is done, the silence rings true, Hello, goodbye, nice to have known you, it's through.

No one could fathom the tears she wouldn't weep, The burdens she carried, buried so deep. Secretive glances, a hesitant touch, Like she was afraid, it wouldn't mean much
But I felt the strain, The lingering pain.

And I don't know why...And I don't know why she was so unsure, Like a bird in a cage, could take it no more. The past had a hold, wouldn't let her be, Just fragments of joy, for all eyes to see.

Hook: And I don't know why she was so unsure, Like a bird in a cage, could take it no more. The past had a hold, wouldn't let her be, Just fragments of joy, for all eyes to see

The first time I saw, felt like the first time I see, what true love feels like and what it's meant to be. I knew I was ready,but ready she was there with me, married at a young age, very little life to see.
Whenever she gets fulfilled with this deep, I'll be done weeping, and opened eyes she will see.

Hook: And I don't know why she was so unsure, Like a bird in a cage, could take it no more. The past had a hold, wouldn't let her be, Just fragments of joy, for all eyes to see
