I'm taken just the way you are    Imperfect words inside a perfect song    I feel you closer than you are    But I've been waiting far too long, too long       It's my declaration    To anyone who's listening    You're my inspiration    As I stand alone against the world    'cause you love    And you bleed    And you stole my soul to set me free    It's my declaration       Do you care what I believe?    ('cause I'm still breathing)   Or that I wear your heart upon my sleeve    Sometimes I think you never knew    The only truth I see is you, is you       It's my declaration    To anyone who's listening    You're my inspiration    As I stand alone against the world    'cause you love    And you bleed    And you stole my soul to set me free    It's my declaration       Are there any words to say   That I would ever mean enough?   When the light runs from the day    Will the darkness be too much?    Will I ever be enough?      It's my declaration    To anyone who's listening    You're my inspiration    As I stand alone against the world    'cause you love    And you bleed    And you stole my soul to set me free    It's my declaration       So tell me you can hear these words tonight    It's my declaration
