I can’t make it better
I can’t undig the grave
I can’t swallow your grief whole
And recover some better days
I can’t evolve what is past
That bell won’t be unrung
But I can hold you close
Inhale with all of my strength
And merge our hearts into one

What is the harbour without the sea
What is a tree without roots
What is it to be the love of your life
If not someone resolute

Because you’re a part of me now
My love, my life, my joy
My confidante and protector
And with all I am I’ll employ
Strength beyond what’s imagined
Let fall every solemn tear
To be the woman you need today
And for all our living years

These coming months will test you
They’ll ask more than you can give
They’ll invoke your fury in your grief
A shadow on the life you now live
But I don’t fear darkness not a bit
Because I am your shimmering light
I will walk where demons tread
I’ll never let you from my sight

What is the lighthouse without pitch of night
Or the rose adorned without thorns
What is the point of being your fire
If I’m crestfallen and worn

Because you’re a part of me now
My love, my life, my joy
My confidante and protector
And with all I am I’ll employ
Strength beyond what’s imagined
Let fall every solemn tear
To be the woman you need today
And for all our living years

I won’t let you stumble
I won’t let you break
I won’t let this living hell
Cost more than it already takes
I’ll carry this weight as much as I can
It’s never too much or enough
I’ll guard the light that lives in you
When going gets too tough

Because you’re a part of me now
No matter how the days unfold
I’ll be the ground you build upon
Your foundation firm and bold
So let your grief rise like a wave
I won’t flinch or disappear
Still the woman you need today
Still yours across the years

Because you’re a part of me now
My love, my life, my joy
My confidante and protector
And with all I am I’ll employ
Strength beyond what’s imagined
Let fall every solemn tear
To be the woman you need today
And for all our living years

So rest your weight on my chest
Let it press down so heavy
If you need love I have more to spare
And it’s there whenever you’re ready
