It's a funny thing, the way life works
You can be so down and out
And think you have no worth
You can't even smile, all you do is pout
You go around faking that you're somewhat content
And then you wonder why people don't care
Maybe it's because they don't know, you relent
Showing that this life you can't bear
You have your pride
And it makes you foolish
Sometimes it's stupid to have lied
About your strife and anguish
Once in a while, someone comes around
And they actually show compassion
For you and your frown
It makes you happy, that little interaction
An interaction can last a short while
Or it can outlast even your oldest relationships
Luckily for me, I found someone that makes me smile
Makes me want to turn this into a courtship
I love this person and am grateful
I'm hooked and can't get enough
Without a doubt, I was sent an angel
An angel that makes life not as tough
It's a funny thing, the way life works
Seems like nothing will change
And you'll always be sad
But then someone special comes along
And life isn't so bad
