I love the way your lips look when they're lacking the hateful things others say,
And I can still picture your eyes when you told me everything will be okay,
Because when I had gone so far down the wrong road, you brought me home,
And even though I was countless steps in the wrong direction you still showed
Up at my front door, asking if you could come inside,
And for the first time, I let someone in,
And for the first time, I let someone in,
Somehow when I boarded myself up you broke it all down,
But I still didn't believe you when you told me how you feel,
Because it seemed so unreal that someone like you would choose someone like me,
And how could I trust anyone,
When all I knew was keeping my thoughts to myself,
Because everyone had picked me up just to throw me into a never ending abyss that amplified the sound of my off beating heart,
But I took a risk, and you held me,
My body ached from carrying the weight of the world on my back,
But with a crutch of denial I climbed higher and higher on a mountain of false hopes,
And when it got to steep,
I slipped and fell into nothing,
But you reached out your arm, and gave me your hand,
And you caught me,
Thank god you caught me.
