Strictly Reserved For You

from Heir Apparent by John Allen Stephens

lyrics

God blessed, that’s two years clean
I remember back when that was just a dream
Looking in the mirror, all I’m seeing is a fiend
But you know that didn’t stop me
Take the rail right off the sink
The whole time, knowing you’d died
From the same addiction
Now the shame is so wide
And my heart is so broken
Part of me would rather die
Than admit this all to you
And they’re starting to get to my goodness

Why would?
I would…
I could try
No lie
One time
Angel saved mine, little light let it shine
And though I know I don’t deserve you
All my love you have reserved
Strictly for you

Part two
Dedicated to the few
Strong enough to carry crosses
For the one they love who
Never could put down the bottle
And it terrifies you
Not knowing if they’ll see tomorrow
Another funeral at noon
More potential wasted
I’ll get back to basics
I never could have faced it
Without you
And you know that's no lie

Why would?
I would…
I could try
No lie
One time
Angel saved mine, little light let it shine
And though I know I don’t deserve you
All my love you have reserved
Strictly for you
