All Because Of You


I doubted you

And you believed in me

I stepped back

And you pulled me closer

I was cold

And you were right

I was ready to give up

And walk away

And you were right there

Behind me

Ready to fight

Fists up

And I still haven't found the words

The right ones

That could ever explain to you

What you mean to me

 

I was weak

And you were strong for both of us

I gave up

And cut you with cruel words

And you held me

And healed the hurt

I was scared

And always running from you

And you were steady

Like a rock

In a storm

You rocked me

Right back to safety

My home

And my safeline

 

I cut you off

And you cut me in

I lost you

And you found me

Over and over

I told you no

And you said yes

Every single time

I gave you lies

And you have me truth

You touched my heart

And I broke yours

And yet

You still stand there

Loving me

Proud and strong

 

Whatever I am

Is because of you

Whatever I do

I do for you

Whatever I say

I say in hoppes

To make you smile

Because for whatever reason

I was worthwhile

Because you said so

And because you love me

And so well

I am and always will be

The person

I always wanted to be

All because of you
