Learning You

(album: Begin To Look Around - 2021)

I don't have it in me to be easy
I'm delicate under the weight of change
But I was raised to be calm and speak clearly
So if you could have a little mercy on me, babe

I don't want to fall back into old habits
To retreat to the place that we once were
But that said, there is no way we can plan this
I figure our fate is in the hands of the universe

Sweetheart, I'm sorry it's been so hard
But in all we are working through, it's evident I am learning you

I'm waking up, knowing you a little better than before
My faith in us intensifies, is heightened even more
Right to my core, uncovering something brand new
Further learning you gives me something to hold on to

We can't alter the past and rewrite history
But we can take mistakes in our stride, switching gears
For all I want is to keep you safe, ease your mind, relieve you from all the pain you've felt
And pain you will feel in years to come from now

My sweetheart, I'm sorry it's been so hard
But in all we are working through, it's evident I am learning you

I'm waking up, knowing you a little better than before
My faith in us intensifies, is heightened even more
Right to my core, uncovering something brand new
Further learning you gives me something to hold on to

While waking up knowing you a little better than before
My faith in us intensifies, I love you even more
Right to your core, uncovering something brand new
Forever learning you gives me something to hold on to

So won't you hold on, too

Meet me halfway, we could make this new and then
Leave room for it to bloom again

I'm waking up, knowing you a little better than before
My faith in us intensifies, is heightened even more
Right to my core, uncovering something brand new
Further learning you gives me something to hold on to

While waking up knowing you a little better than before
My faith in us intensifies, I love you even more
Right to your core, uncovering something brand new
Forever learning you gives me something to hold on to

Sweetheart, I'm sorry it's been so hard
