about

When you experience the love you don't feel you deserve, there's nothing like it.

lyrics

I knew you were gentle
I knew you were kind
But I couldn’t keep the darkness
From crowding out my right mind

I couldn’t make you habit
I couldn’t make you a drug
When I was shaking out my past,
You just held me with love

Anyone else would have left in a heartbeat
But you saw the light in me
I came up with a million excuses for
Why I couldn’t be
Deserving and worthy
And free from all the hurting
You stayed without deserting me
And the light I couldn’t see

I don’t want to hold on to the damage
It seems to follow me around
Like a ghost that I keep on talking to
On a ledge and then you take me down

Anyone else would have left in a heartbeat
But you saw the light in me
I came up with a million excuses for
Why I couldn’t be
Deserving and worthy
And free from all the hurting
You stayed without deserting me
And the light I couldn’t see
