For the Bride by Ethan Charles Lyrics

Given all the strength, I've lived without it
I'll be grateful for the lungs I have to pay
And I'll loosen my allegiance to the orchids
And forgiven all the birds upon the wake

And if I ever do surrender
You played a part along the way
And I'll be open for the taking
With honesty just for the day
Or the bride
Lord, I tried

Well I'd be happy just to see you
Though I'm convinced this heart can't burst
And I'll be naked for my virtue
Before my love will bring me home

And if I ever do surrender
You played a part along the way
And I'll be open for the taking
With honesty just for the day
Or the bride
Lord, I tried
I left my heartbeat on a hill;
I let my soul beget my will;
And I've been hoping for your words
And let my heart sing, that's the girl

And if I ever do surrender
You played a part along the way
And I'll be open for the taking
With honesty just for the day
Or the bride
Lord, I try
