"Shelter" lyrics

I'm not asking you to run ahead
But 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 that 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

And I know it's hard to trust me baby
That I won't do you wrong no
And even when the storms of life come raging
You won't have to look too far
I'll be your shelter

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 words baby and I'm yours
I'll be shelter-
I'll be-
I'll be-
I'll be-
I'll be your shelter
