All my life I have been told,
                                                  "That is not enough."
I know this life is hard, but I have to call their bluff.
I gave all I can give, yet they refuse to give their trust.
All my efforts in the dirt, beneath your heels were
                                                  crushed.

Now you come and say to me you only want
                                                  my love.
You taught me how to smile, but now all you want is love.
I'll give you all the world, all the clouds and stars above.
But you'll say to me,
                                                   *"My dear, just your love is quite enough."

You say I've never seen an angel? Well I say that I've seen you.
I cannot say enough about the girl who made me new.
My heart was hung up, strangled, hardly breathing, turning blue
Until you came into my life and understood me, through and through.

You're my saving grace and I owe you my whole life.
I came from freezing winter rain into your arms, warm and dry.
I know that I'm not perfect, but I sure as hell will try,
And I'll stay with you forever; I'll be yours and you'll be mine.

I put my heart in a bottle and I locked it up tight.
I swore it would stay there for all my life.
I'd had too many nights when I felt all alone.
Too many houses I couldn't call home.

So many faces, but how many are real?
How many hearts truly know how to feel?

My hopes sank in doubt as I drowned in the sea.
There was no such thing as "perfect for me."
But hidden away right in front of my face
There was you: the dream who so long I had chased.

So I picked up the bottle and shattered the glass,
For you were the girl who I couldn't bypass.
I offered my heart, and also my life.
Just stay here and swear that you won't leave my side.

My heart is fragile, so handle with care.
You can see every scratch, every bruise, every tear.
But as long as you're mine, I forget all the pain,
So I give you my heart. Oh, and here's my last name.

In a world where all is wrong, you're my only right.
In a world where words can ****, yours have saved my life.

This world will try to crush us, but you will give me wings.
You made a perfect love out of all these broken things.

I'll give you all my heart and cast your tears away.
Replace them with this smile and stay with me every day.

The bacon is all burnt, and the eggs are a mess.
I'll butter the toast and just throw out the rest.
I turned simple breakfast into quite an ordeal.
I ***** up a lot but you love me still.

We stumble blindly through this life,
Caring not of wrong or right.
I only care that I am yours;
The rest is just unwritten verse
That we will write with frantic pens
That know no wrong and know no ends.

So hand in hand, we live and learn.
We live in love and brightly burn,
And when the sun does rise this day,
We'll wake up knowing that our way
Of love will surely conquer all,
So smile and bow; my heart applauds.
