Alex

I was packing up my heart, turning out the light

Ready to surrender to a long and lonely night

I was battered and defeated, I was giving up on love

Convinced it was a blessing I was undeserving of

Then you walked right through the door and pulled me from the dark

Alex, you're the one who put the beat back in my heart

You are loving, you are caring, you protect me from the cold

You're the safest pair of hands that I will ever hold

You became my everything when I had nothing left to lose

I ain't going anywhere, I'm staying here with you

I'm dropping every anchor, I'm laying down my pride

As long as I am breathing, I'll be right by your side

I used to build these heavy walls to keep the world away

But you broke through the concrete with the gentle things you say

Every time you hold me close, I feel the healing start

You stand like a sentry at the doorway of my heart

You're so fiercely protective, yet as tender as a dove

You showed me I was wrong to ever give up on this love

You are loving, you are caring, you protect me from the cold

You're the safest pair of hands that I will ever hold

You became my everything when I had nothing left to lose

I ain't going anywhere, I'm staying here with you

I'm dropping every anchor, I'm laying down my pride

As long as I am breathing, I'll be right by your side

I'm looking at our future, and the picture is so clear

I want to spend a lifetime wiping every single tear

I'm gonna buy a diamond, I'm gonna take a knee

Alex, I just want you to grow old and gray with me

You are loving, you are caring, you protect me from the cold

You're the safest pair of hands that I will ever hold

You became my everything when I had nothing left to lose

I ain't going anywhere, I'm staying here with you

I'm dropping every anchor, I'm laying down my pride

Alex, I am yours until the end of time
