eric

I know my steps are slow, I stumble on the floor

Sometimes this body feels like a closing door

I have trouble walking, but you never rush my pace

You just hold my hand and put a smile upon my face

We dim the lights and let a movie start to play

And just sitting by your side makes the worry fade away

Oh, Eric, it's the way you look at me

Past the flaws, past the fear, past the therapy

I know I'm not perfect, I've got battles in my bones

But with this cancer, you never let me fight alone

You take the broken parts and love them effortlessly

I feel beautiful because of the way you see me

I think back to the days of cutting fabric out

Making that mint lounge suit, just laughing on the couch

And I can never forget the magic of that Pink Monday

When all the heavy clouds just seemed to drift away

You wrap me in a comfort that I didn't know I'd find

Leaving all the shadows and the sickness far behind

Oh, Eric, it's the way you look at me

Past the flaws, past the fear, past the therapy

I know I'm not perfect, I've got battles in my bones

But with this cancer, you never let me fight alone

You take the broken parts and love them effortlessly

I feel beautiful because of the way you see me

When my legs get weak and I can barely stand

I find my steady ground inside the palm of your hand

You never ask for flawless, you just ask for my heart

You hold me through the healing, you love me in the dark

Yeah, you love me in the dark

Oh, Eric, it's the way you look at me

Past the flaws, past the fear, past the therapy

I know I'm not perfect, I've got battles in my bones

But with this cancer, you never let me fight alone

You take the broken parts and love them effortlessly

I'm exactly who I want to be

Because of the way you see me
