You taught me what love is, selfless, unpolished
The constant through strong winds
Like roots breaking concrete

Protective and worried
But I love seeing you free
I'll lighten your pathway
When it's too dark to see

Tidal waves
We're not safe
I'll be your place
To hide

The current's reach
Pulls us away
I'll be your pier
To hold on to

All this chaos will pass by
I'll keep standing by your side
I'll give when I don't have
So you'll do better than I did

When the force drags us under
Swallowed down by these waters
I'll fight our way back up

Forgive most our mistakes
Know the damage was done
Back when we were young
Could not run from the flood
Were forced to grow up
Peace has never lasted long

Tidal waves
We're not safe
I'll be your place
To hide

The current's reach
Pulls us away
I'll be your pier
To hold on to

I'll be the one I never had
So you'll be safe and sound
I'll do anything to keep you from
Feeling all alone

I'll be your place to hide
I'll be your place to hide

Tidal waves
We're not safe
I'll be your place
To hide
(I'll be your place to hide)

The current's reach
Pulls us away (pulls us away)
I'll be your pier
To hold on to
