evelyn

i just wanna know what it feels like
you seeing me make something of my life.
i just don't think that i'm alright,
but when you look at me, it's like i'm bathed in life.

fill the entire room with your laughter
brighten up the dark with your smile.
my entire life was sculpted by your hands.
but now i don't know who i am.

i just wanna hear what it sounds like
that old six-string you've had your entire life.
i just need to know that you're alright.
promise me you'll make it through the night.

fill this white room with some colour
like only you can
and the way that i love was inspired by your heart
but now i'm ripped apart.

tattoo your name onto my skin
so that you'll never leave.
and, i if am strong when i'm feeling so weak
i'll know that you're with me.
