Lyrics

All I have, I will give to you

All possessions and qualities I possess, I am willing to give to you

In dark times when no one wants to

During difficult or challenging times when nobody else is willing, I will be there for you

I will give you me

I am offering my true self to you

And we'll be

Together, we will become

Us

A unified 'us'


All I have, I will give to you

Reiteration of the commitment to give everything one has to the other person

And at times when no one wants to

Even in times when others refuse, I will still be there for you

I will give you me

Continued expression of giving one's true self to the other

And we'll be

Reaffirmation of becoming a unified entity

Us

Emphasizing the unity and togetherness of the couple

And there's no one else

Highlighting the exclusivity of the connection, suggesting there is no one else


That knows me

Expressing the uniqueness of the bond by stating that there is no one else who understands the speaker

Like you do

Acknowledging that the other person knows the speaker deeply

All I've done, you've done too

Mutual understanding and shared experiences between the two

The walls I

Referring to emotional barriers or defenses

Hide behind

Describing the walls the speaker uses to protect themselves

You walk through

Expressing the idea that the other person can see through the speaker's defenses

You just walk through

Emphasizing the effortless nature of the other person's ability to understand and connect


Well I know all the words

Asserting knowledge of the right words to emotionally affect the other person

To take you apart

Expressing the capability to break down emotional barriers

You know I know you're hurt

Acknowledging the emotional pain the other person is experiencing

I want to mend your heart

Expressing the desire to heal and comfort the other person

You broke down

Referring to a moment of emotional breakdown

Why don't you tell me from the start

Questioning why the other person didn't communicate their feelings from the beginning

You know I know you're hurt

Reiterating awareness of the other person's emotional pain

I want to mend your heart

Expressing the ongoing desire to mend the other person's heart

And there's no one else

Restating the exclusivity of the connection


That knows me

Reiterating the unique understanding and connection the other person provides

Like you do

Acknowledging that the other person knows the speaker deeply

What I've done

Emphasizing shared experiences and actions between the two

You've done too

Reflecting on the emotional barriers or defenses

The walls I

Describing the walls the speaker uses to protect themselves

Hide behind

Highlighting the other person's ability to see through the speaker's defenses

You walk through

Emphasizing the effortless nature of the other person's ability to understand and connect

You just walk through

Reiterating the idea that the other person effortlessly walks through the speaker's defenses
