-- each breath I took
I thought was mine to take
each careful step
I thought was mine to make
each heart I touched
I thought was mine to break
for so long
I was wrong

I drank your tears
tasted you when you cried
I watched your soul
felt every part that died
I took your shame
turned it into my pride
You were strong
you held on

you hurt for me
and I adored your pain
you sobbed for me
and my tears fell like rain
you ached for me
begged for my touch again
you were sweet
so complete

I saw your gifts
they brought me to a choice
I heard your words
they lent strength to my voice
I know your love
it is why I rejoice
you serve me
perfectly

you offered up your all
surrendering
and in that single act
won everything
I lay full claim to you
to every part
but now it seems in turn
you've claimed my heart --
