The story behind this song
On the cloudy days he doubts his own worth, and never once sees the way he steadies her, the way he's been her shelter all along. She's wanted, for ten years now, to hand him the mirror from her own eyes — to show him the man who calms her storms and quietly heals the broken pieces, the best friend and the safe place she could never replace.
Some things are hard to say out loud. Loving him was never one of them.
For the partner who can't quite believe how much they're loved, played a song they'll have to hear twice.
Lyrics
But I see gold in all your shades
The way you hold me, calm the storm
You’ve been my shelter all along
But I do, every single time
It’d be the mirror from my eyes
You’d see the way you make me feel
How every broken piece you heal
My best friend, my heart, my peace
You are everything to me
But loving you — I’ve never doubted
If I did one thing right, you know
It’s choosing you, and never letting go
But I do, every single time
It’d be the mirror from my eyes
You’d see the way you make me feel
How every broken piece you heal
My best friend, my heart, my peace
You are everything to me
You’re more than what the world can see
It’s all the ways I’d show you how
You’re my forever, my safe place
The love I never could replace
My best friend, my heart, my peace
You are everything to me
