"Brilliant" by Nomaditsu

Your tender gaze upon my face makes time stand still tonight
The way you notice all my flaws with such loving sight
Your memory treasures every mistake I've ever made
Whispering them softly until my confidence fades
Your gentle arms hold me close, tighter than I could ask
Ensuring all my dreams remain safely behind a mask

How fortunate am I to have someone so wise?
Seeing through my potential with such knowing eyes

You're brilliant, so brilliant
The way you keep me safe from flight
You're brilliant, so brilliant
How you dim my brightest light
You're brilliant, so brilliant
No one could love me quite like you
You're brilliant... at making sure I never break through

Your perfect intuition takes my breath away each time
At every turn, reminding me just how far I am behind
Your loving shield protects me from the heights that I might reach
Teaching me that safety lies in only what you preach
Your sweet words of caution echo deeper than my own
Keeping all my dangerous words from ever finding home

How fortunate am I to have someone so wise?
Seeing through my potential with such knowing eyes

You're brilliant, so brilliant
The way you keep me safe from flight
You're brilliant, so brilliant
How you dim my brightest light
You're brilliant, so brilliant
No one could love me quite like you
You're brilliant... at making sure I never break through

Brilliant how you thought my heart was yours to take
Brilliant how you never saw the plans for my escape
Brilliant how you thought I'd always be the same
Brilliant... while I've been changing every day

You're brilliant, so brilliant
But I've already packed my light
You're brilliant, so brilliant
But I've already booked my flight
You're brilliant, so brilliant
I'll admit your control was complete
You're brilliant... but I'm already down the street
