macklemore and ryan lewis preforming “One Love” on Ellen
So long I hid behind your comforting arms
Never knowing, growing, showing, who I really am
Always being who you want me to
But never seeing me through
Those walls that I put up
When I hid by your side
In the shadows of your strides
Saving me from the harsh reality of who I am
My heart broke saying goodbye to you
And that comfort I once knew
Facing myself in this dark and lonely world
Was the hardest thing to do
Nowhere to hide, except for the shadow in my mind
All I wanted too, was to come running back to you
Regret is not a word
When I think of you and me
Because I learned to love from you
And we loved with all that we knew
Some lessons are best taught in the silence of our hearts
Where I find myself and the person you never knew
To find ourselves, first find who we are not
To love ourselves, love another and know loss
