lyrics

This gem I'm holding in my hands
This jewel within my grasp.
It always seemed so out of reach
But here we are, at last.

But I'm scared I'll scratch this surface
Worried I'll destroy the shape...

So fearful of breaking this diamond in two
Damaging something so precious and new
Of leaving marks where care was due.
But, oh God, you know I'm thankful for you.
And God, oh no, I don't want to break you.

This rock I cradle gently
Is shining in the light.
Its edges mark the finishing line
In a long and endless fight.

But I'm scared I'll scratch this surface
Worried I'll destroy the shape...

So fearful of breaking this diamond in two
Damaging something so precious and new
Of leaving marks where care was due.
But, oh God, you know I'm thankful for you.
And God, oh no, I don't want to break you.

The more I learn, the more I feel.
The more I feel, the more I fear.
These pieces of me start to tear
To fall apart as they learn to care.

Logic fails, as logic does
I feel we never learn to love
Sometimes I think you're worth so much
That I could never measure up.

But I'm scared I'll scratch this surface
Worried I'll destroy the shape...

So fearful of breaking this diamond in two
Damaging what's so precious and new
Of leaving marks where care was due.
But, oh God, you know I'm thankful for you.
And God, oh no, I don't want to break you.
