"Words That Grew"

It started as a voice
In my head
I'd brush it off and say
"Like that could happen"

I didn't want to hear
The truth
That maybe I was more
Than a troubled youth

They started as seeds
Your voice was like dew
It seeped underneath
These are the words that grew

You are beautiful
You are beautiful
You're worth more than I
Could ever tell you
You are beautiful
Oh, so beautiful
And I'll keep repeating them
Until they grow in you

The soil was so dry
I confess
I left my heart out in the sun
Till it was all a mess

And it dried up
All the life
That you gave to me
In my hands it died

So I'm asking you again
To keep me in your garden

You are beautiful
You are beautiful
You're worth more than I
Could ever tell you
You are beautiful
Oh, so beautiful
And I'll keep repeating them
The same words that grew
And I'll sing them to you
You're my heart and my truth
I'll give it all back to you

They started as seeds
Your voice was like dew
It seeped underneath
These are the words that grew
