I never thought safety was a feeling
all these stories of people feeling safe
is something I've never felt
I've been homeless and left to rot
I thought this was a hidden emotion
that I was incapable of feeling
until your arms opened
and that laugh made me smile
and when we kissed
I felt my eyes smile for the first time
safety is something I have found
something only you could help me find

our flaws shine out
why does that have to be shunned

for the first time in years
that cigarette was laid down
for the first time in years
I put the **** down
for the first time in years
I'm feeling like my old self
for the first time in years
I'm feeling happy

Love can change
I thought I understood it
I was naive
how could I understand
the pure bliss
being in your embrace brings
how could I understand
my suicidal episodes
stopped with a touch
I thought I knew love
how wrong I was about my emotions
but at least now
I understand a little better

It was all tunnel vision
The world was spinning
But there you stand
You were my beacon
I couldn't defend
I didn't have an ace in my hand

You left me with nothing but a empty hand

It hurt when I fell
But I got back up
And did it again
Only to fall over and over
Some of us maybe not the best of us
But some of us
We always make the same mistakes

Relationships are strange
You can be arguing but flirting
You can be laughing but at who
You can act happy but be miserable
