Covered Up

by Joel Ansett

on The Nature of Us (2015)

[Verse 1]
There's a darkness
Keeps my heart so heavy
I can feel my shadow
Stripped of all my pride
So when I see the light
My shame has taught me how to hide

[Chorus]
But I can hear it in the way You say my name
All the fear inside melts away
Feel the love, I can't live without it
I'm covered up, I can't be without it
I hear it in the way You say my name
Together warm and safe
Feel Your touch, can't be without it
I'm covered up when You say my name

[Verse]
And I never quite believed it
In my pride I hate the help
Blood on my hands to make amends
I'll cover this myself
Now i know that i need you
'Cause I break every day I fight alone
Share the weight of the burden every time you call me home

[Chorus]
But I can hear it in the way You say my name
All the fear inside melts away
Feel the love, I can't live without it
I'm covered up, I can't be without it
I hear it in the way You say my name
Together warm and safe
Feel Your touch, can't be without it
I'm covered up when You say my name

[Bridge]
In the heat of guilt You give me shade
There's a thousand curses turned to broken chains
Feel the touch of a Lover free from shame
This love will remain

[Chorus]
I hear it in the way You say my name
All the fear inside melts away
Feel the love, I can't live without it
I'm covered up, I can't be without it
I hear it in the way You say my name
Together warm and safe
Feel Your touch, can't be without it
I'm covered up when You say my name

[Outro]
I can hear it in the way You say my name, my name
Covered up when You say my name
