Lyric

You’re standing just a step away

But in a world where I can’t seem to stay

Always looking forward, brave and bright

With a hidden strength I’ve never held in sight

I want to say "You're amazing," out loud

But the words feel heavy, beneath a cloud

'Cause I look at myself and I start to see

There’s nothing special inside of me

But then you smiled and said to me

"You have the things that I’ll never be"

To cherish the ways that we’re not the same

It felt like a spark, a beautiful flame

Because we’re different, I’ll stay by your side

With nothing to fear and nothing to hide

Never giving up on the dreams you hold

Rising from the dust, stories to be told

I lacked the confidence to even try

Just watching the shadows as they passed me by

But then you turned and looked in my eyes

"I'm glad you were here," to my surprise

In that moment, everything started to change

I liked who I was, within the new range

Strength alone can’t protect it all

You held my weakness, caught every fall

Accepting the pieces where we both lack

Never wanting to turn the clock back

I don't have to change, I can just be me

That’s where the happiness happens to be

It’s more than a longing, more than a dream

Not just a selfish, one-sided scheme

When we’re together, the world starts to glow

A warmth in my heart that I finally know

Just as we are, and that is enough

Through all the smooth and through all the rough

Acknowledging all that we’ve grown to be

Living in beautiful harmony

If what we’re painting with two different hues

Is what they call love, then I’ve nothing to lose

Because we’re different, I’m standing tall

With you by my side, I have it all
