You offered me everything

You looked into my eyes

You allowed me the chance to sing

You took me by surprise

You loved me for who I am

A genius maybe, but flawed

You had one hand for the tiller, man

And one for the Lord

You put up with my weaknesses

You didn't stand for my lies

Your loving arms were my buttresses

As we reached up under cathedral skies

And now look where we are

So near and so far

You gotta love who you are

You didn't follow my lead

You knew what it was all about

Yeah I just wanted to bleed

To scream and shout

What's that all about

You should have kicked me out

You didn't ask me for much

I gave you everything that I had

Until I had nothing left at all

And it drove me mad

And now our love is in bloom

As fresh as it was before

The happiness fills the room

We're not keeping score any more

And here's another thing

I hope we both recognise

You can't be a bird that sings

If you're reliant on a network of spies

And another thing

You've maybe heard it before

I love the ground that you walk upon

Yeah the dirty floor

You offered me everything

You looked into my eyes

You allowed me the chance to sing

You took me by surprise

You loved me for who I am

A genius maybe, but flawed

I wanted to be adored

I wanted to be adored

I wanted to be adored, oh oh

And now our love is in bloom

As fresh as it was before

The happiness fills the room

We're not keeping score any more

And here's another thing

I hope we both recognise

You can't be a bird that sings

If you're reliant on a network of spies

You offered me everything

You looked into my eyes

You allowed me the chance to sing

You took me by surprise

You put up with my weaknesses

You didn't stand for my lies

Your loving arms were my buttresses

As we reached up under cathedral skies

And now look where we are

So near and so far

You gotta love who you are

You gotta love who you are
