Shelter Lyrics

I'm not asking you to run ahead
Could you try to take a single step
How can we move forward when
You're halfway out the door

So you've made mistakes, you have regrets
I don't need you to be perfect
Just promise you'll be honest
I promise that it's worth the risk

But I can't make you love me even if I try
I'm not gonna force you
You have to decide
I'm asking you to trust me
When I say that I'm not here for the moment
I'm in this for life
Yes I know, I know you've been hurt before
And life will lay you low, oh, of that I'm sure
But just say the word baby, and I'm yours
I'll be shelter, keep you safe and warm

We can take it, take it, take it slow
'Cause it takes time to make this house a home
And clean up the mess, those are the lovers left
Oh, but the past is past
So we're moving on, no turning back
I promise that I'm honest
There are greater things ahead

But I can't make you love me even if I try
I'm not gonna force you, you have to decide
I'm asking you to trust me
When I say that I'm not here for the moment

I'm in this for life
Yes I know, I know you've been hurt before
And life will lay you low, oh, of that I'm sure
But just say the word baby, and I'm yours
I'll be shelter, keep you safe and warm

It ain't no time to trust me, baby
That I won't do you wrong, no
And even when the source of light comes raging
You won't have to look too far
I'll be your shelter (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) o-o-oh, o-o-oh

Yes I know, I know you've been hurt before (yes, yes I know you've been hurt before)
And life will lay you low, oh, of that I'm sure (I'm your shelter, just say the word, baby)
But just say the words baby, and I'm yours
I'll be a shelter (I'm your shelter, just say the word baby)
I'll be (I'll be your shelter, keep you safe and more)
I'll be (I'll be your shelter, keep you safe and more)
I'll be (I'll be your shelter, keep you safe and more)
I'll be, I'll be your shelter, ah (I'll be your shelter, keep you safe and more)
