Dear You
The Tender Idols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How everything that I've become
Was stolen from your lead
Dear you, in me
A breath of life delivered
In this body that you see
Dear you, hear me
To bring me back from where I've been
Dear you, it's me
However many times
I have to say the words I mean
Leave a light in your heart for me
Leave a light in your heart for me
Dear you, I see
From high up in this vantage point
I look at love and see
Dear you, in me
With arms that hold me tightly
When you miss the company
Dear you, hear me
I'll keep your name forever
In my guarded memory
Dear you, with me
A better kind of loving
I know I'll never see
Leave a light in your heart for me
Leave a light in your heart for me
Leave a light in your heart for me
Leave a light in your heart for me
Dear you, always
A love that never dies
