Songtext von All This Love

The rain outside mirrors the quiet in my head Another night spent tracing lines in this empty bed I replay the sound of your goodbye, a familiar, dull ache A promise whispered softly, a heart it chose to break I built these walls so high, brick by painful brick Thinking safety lived there, but it just made me sick All this love, I try to understand Wanting to love you without fearing you But the ghost of every past mistake Holds my trembling, outstretched hand I let the darkness claim the view Wanting to love you without fearing you Your scent still lingers faintly on that worn-out sweater A cruel reminder of a happily ever after that never got better We spoke of futures bright, of sunlit avenues Now all I see are shadows, and what I stand to lose I'm caught between the memory and the need to just let go A silent, lonely battle only I seem to know All this love, I try to understand Wanting to love you without fearing you But the ghost of every past mistake Holds my trembling, outstretched hand I let the darkness claim the view Wanting to love you without fearing you Maybe the fear isn't of losing you, not really at all It's the fear of opening up, only to watch it fall I keep the armor on, though it weighs a ton Because being exposed means facing what's already done All this love, I try to understand Wanting to love you without fearing you But the ghost of every past mistake Holds my trembling, outstretched hand I let the darkness claim the view Wanting to love you without fearing you Without fearing you Just fading echoes now In this empty room
