Lyrics

This new love is bringing out in me
My mistrust and my pain
I've been broken, I've been fooled before
And I don't want it to happen again.

This new love is bringing out in me
My selfishness and fear
While I thought I was alright on my own
All the while these faults were here.

And who am I to think that I'm alone
I'm flesh of your flesh and bone of your bone
Will I let fear keep me from the love I could know?
What is all of this coming out in me?
Like a burning log being purged of impurity
Though it seems to hurt, I know that it's making me grow
Honey I know you’re making me grow

This new love is revealing to me
my hope and deepest desires
It's so vulnerable to want something
That you might never find

This new love is revealing to me
A reflection of myself
Can I love in you what I see in me?
Can I love everything else?

I'm tired of running
I'm tired of doing it all on my own
I've had it with pride and defensiveness
I'm finished with my ego.

Honey I know you’re making me grow
Honey I know you make me grow
