Maybe you could cool me
Maybe you could soothe me
Make me feel like something other than a fool
And more like something beautiful.
Keep speaking to me in that hushed soft tone
Assuring me you’ve discovered the unknown
The me behind the sunshine and the veil
Keep breathing me in, I want you to inhale
How much you’re my comfort and my hope
The way your touch helps me feel, helps me cope
You make me see maybe I was never the fool
But was always somehow beautiful.
Your eyes look past the reflection I see
They draw me in, draw me out, make me believe
If you wrap your arms around me in that perfect fit
Maybe slowly, my heart will begin to admit
That I need you to love me
Make me feel more than worthy
For with others, I’d always been the fool
But with you...I’m someone beautiful.
