It Could Be So Simple

Evading the simple answer
I dig deeper inside
It only turns me and tosses me around
Because I refuse to let it be easy

The noise hurts my ears
But the quiet challenges the fear
And I feel over-challenged as it is
Yet what I want is not what I need
Isn’t that always how it seems

If I'd only stop
If I'd only listen
If I'd only let things be
If I'd only rely
On someone other than me

I'm tired of hiding behind my strength
I'm scared of failing
Of showing I'm not as strong as I appear
But I keep forgetting...
You're there to catch me, soothe me
I'm not alone anymore

The ring on my finger is not just there to sparkle
Although it sparkles so
It's a promise of together
A promise that it doesn't have to be so hard
A promise that after all's said and done
I have someone to come home to

If only I could come home
If only I could walk through your door
If only I could fall into your arms
If only I'd remember...

I am coming home
I will walk through your door
And I will spend forever in your arms
A promise I hold onto, a promise we will keep
Because the simple answer always comes back to "we."
