"hey"

And then they come

I look away

Distant stare

While inside they're going everywhere

And I wonder why

Every time that I

Think I'm ready

Demons come out to play

Moments pass by

While inside I cry

Unsteady

Fighting hard to hold the bay

Sinking, drowning

Feeling them taking control

Conceding, believing

I'm worth nothing at all

But in the corner of my eye

I see your gentle, loving smile

Your patience and curiosity

Can't resist, I turn to see

You looking back at me

And with just "hey"

You blow it all away

I feel your love

My worth is undenied

But conflicting with

The belief they left inside

Telling it ain't real

You're the one that lied

Ashamed, myself disowned

I can't do this alone

So let it go, now's the time

Building walls has past its prime

Open arms, open heart

Be open to pain, to play its vital part

You've found someone whom you've given all your trust

And, for but a moment,

With just a "hey"

Will wipe every goddamn demon away
