I used to dream of what could be
of the wonders of the world to see
I lived and loved and laughed
and knew the value of living free
and so many freinds
who came and went
and treasured memories
of times we spent
I had my freedom
and my times to roam
knew not the fear
of being alone
I had momentum
and a world to see
and could not foresee
a change in me
but then fell in love
and loved so deep
and sacrificed all
this love to keep
and changed my life
though it stiffled passion
tried to so hard
to fit within her worlds fashion
to be there for her
when she fell down
she became what
my world revolved around
she tested me
tried to trick me too
my love was something
she wanted me to prove
I jumped through hoops
as I swallowed the hook
the more I gave
the more she took
Love is blind?
well it blinded me
her selfish lies
I couldn't see
and when I was
broke down as I could be
she very casually
walked away from me
my life became
stumbling through the dark
my world of wonder
was now so stark
so began my life of darkness
self doubt and self abused
mistakes upon mistakes
many more times to be used
it's so hard to stumble and fall
and then be trambled in the dirt
then left alone to struggle up
dust it off and pretend it doesn't hurt
I lived so long in darkness
and never tried to see
I choked and starved my dreams
till I had nothing to believe
I thought that I was dead
and nothing mattered much to me
then you saw me, and like magic
you were seeing who I used to be
but I doubted love
and doubted you and also doubted me
and could easily have thrown your love away
but magic in your words made me wait and see
and we began to talk
and dream of what our lives could be
the more you talked the more I believed
and was reborn after years of misery
but I'd sworn off love
and I'd meant it too
and this is hardest thing
that I've ever had to do
but it's something you need to know
I can't prove it but it's true
I think you are an angel
and sweetness I love you
