Every Time I Look At You
-------------------------------------

Wanting to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to push so hard
And I watch you sleep by the light of the day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you just walked away

I was trying so hard I guess I just got lost along the way
Forgot what was important and what could wait
I paid too much attention to the wrong things
And I hope that now it's not too late

Baby, I know the times have been tough
And the road has been rocky lately
I know I don't always do the right thing, dear one
And I've put too much pressure on you lately

But every time I look at you
No matter what I'm going through
It's easy to see...
And every time I hold you
The things I never told you
Seem to come easily...

I was really surprised when you got inside my heart
I was afraid that it would soon be ending
Everyone said it wouldn't matter if it all just came apart
But we know they were just pretending

Sweetheart I know I hurt you
But will you try to still believe in me
And baby I know I was blind to you
I'll make it up to you if you'll let me...

Sometimes I don't think before I go
And I put too much upon you
But I'll work harder at standing on my own
And I'll make it all seem so new...

Because every time I look at you
It's easy for me to see
When you hold me you know I still love you
And you're almost everything to me...

It's gonna take some time to show you
That I don't always need a hero to fight for me
Let me be the one to hold you and shelter you
For once let the battles come to me...

Phoenix I tried to make it
I just got lost along the way...

It's gonna take some time to show you
Just what you mean to me
And I'm sorry that the more I get to know you
The more I try to make you see...

You're everything to me...

Baby I know I hurt you
But you can still believe in me...

Every time I look at you
No matter what I'm going through...
It's easy to see...

And every time I hold you
You know I'm thinking of you
And want to see you free...

Every time I look at you
No matter what you're going through
I'll make sure to let you see...

And every time I hold you
You know I'm thinking of you
Lovers can still fly free...

Phoenix, I know I hurt you
But can you still believe in me...?

Every time I look at you
No matter what you're going through
I'll make sure to let you see...

And every time I hold you
You know I'm thinking of you
And want to see your spirit flying free...

You're everything to me...
