I don't know who said

But you come alive when you think no ones watching

The colors get bright even when tears are falling

I love your mind when you think that you've lost it

So don’t hide at all

'Cause darling, I'm all in
[Chorus]

I want your everything

Every single celebration, every time your heart is breaking

The bruised and the beautiful

Through all the highs and lows

But take off the armor even if it gets darker, I'm right,

Right here next to you

’Til we’re covered in flowers, I spend all my hours to prove
[Pre-Chorus]
