lyrics
Baby I was blinded when you brought those butterflies
I'd never seen beauty all around till you opened up my eyes
When you told me that you loved me I will never forget
By your car, under the stars, wearing that shirt of red
That shirt of red
Baby I was scared when that picture faded slow
You became so familiar like there was nothing more to know
And I saw you in your weakness, when you had nothing left to give
No room for pretending about the life I dreamed to live
I dreamed to live
Baby when you saw me weeping from the weight of doubt
I was a shell of the strength from when you first took me out
And you loved that bit of nothing though it had nothing left to give
You still hoped in the life that I could live
That I could live
The reality of love is so much more than I can say
I've never been so seen as when you choose to look at me that way
And it's stronger than the day when we promised to hold on tight
It's brighter when we're walking through this night
Through this night
I'd never seen beauty all around till you opened up my eyes
When you told me that you loved me I will never forget
By your car, under the stars, wearing that shirt of red
That shirt of red
Baby I was scared when that picture faded slow
You became so familiar like there was nothing more to know
And I saw you in your weakness, when you had nothing left to give
No room for pretending about the life I dreamed to live
I dreamed to live
Baby when you saw me weeping from the weight of doubt
I was a shell of the strength from when you first took me out
And you loved that bit of nothing though it had nothing left to give
You still hoped in the life that I could live
That I could live
The reality of love is so much more than I can say
I've never been so seen as when you choose to look at me that way
And it's stronger than the day when we promised to hold on tight
It's brighter when we're walking through this night
Through this night

about
Lilly Aline Iowa City, Iowa
Since my start writing songs in junior high, music has been a vital part of how I process the world, as I find inspiration from folk lyrics, jazz singing styles, and pop melodies. Around Iowa City, I can be found at the Mill’s Open Mic Night and singing jazz in the School of Music. Whether in a bar, church, or concert hall, I love using guitar and voice to express beauty and hope to audiences. ... more
