i'm thankful for you


i'm thankful for you

we were perfect, us two

you painted me gold more than you painted me blue

 

i think you're my angel

boy, every single angle 

of you is so perfect, i don't want to disturb it

this little world you're in seems like too much, but just

keep going and be happy because you deserve it

you're always worth it

you're worth my pain because there will be gain

you might come back and we might be better

better than we ever have been together

 

but then i need to stop and think

cause you could leave

you could just go and tell me no

no you don't want a life with me

no you don't want a think to do with me

but hey, that's okay

i'll treat every day like sunday

i'll take care of what's mine and you will too

it's you who have helped me reach my dreams 

and got me to achieve

what i needed to do

 

i will not be alone if you are gone

i got friends who make me feel like one

i got these voices to push me what i need to get done

you're either here for me or you aren't, there's no in-between

so if you need to do you then i need to do me

 

but it was fate, us two

you painted me gold more than you painted me blue

i will always be thankful for you
