​
I was down, down,
I was on my way to hell
Redemption was I lie, that sinners told themselves
I was hopeless, yeah,
No hope for myself,
I was hopeless, yeah,
No hope for anybody else

What was I doing, I wish I knew
I never knew love, until I knew you
You saved me,
From this pain inside.
I know you love me,
And I think of you all the time
Cause when I think of you,
I know it all will be fine

And now you have to go,
I just want you to know,
I love you more than life
And now I have to leave,
But thoughts of you won't let me be,
And for me that's alright

Cause you give me, hope
When I could only hope for hell
And you gave me, love
When I could not love myself
And you give me, strength,
To do it by myself
Cause when I'm living strong,
I know I'm doing it for someone else
