I cried the day
When I met you
Because I couldn't believe God put you into my life
He put you into my life
When I was broken. When I had been beaten to a pulp
And burnt in the ashes
And God put you in my life
And you took me out
Oh, so elegantly, love
You twirled me around
And danced with me
You knew what melody to play my heart
You knew how to make her happy
And I cried
Because I had found sanity
I found inspiration
I was passionate about life again
Because of you

And now
I cry
I cry into my pillow
Tears that are searching
Begging
Pleading
For an answer from God
Pleading for him to answer the question
As to why He'd put such a gem in my life
If he knew you'd break me
If he knew you'd take my heart
And throw it to the ground
Without a care
However I hold on
Because you were my hero
When I felt like nothing
When I felt as if
I could never make a difference in the world.
And now, God, I ask you
Why do I cry
Why am I gasping for air
Pleading
Why
Why did you put this in my life
If you knew it would end in strife
Why am I on the floor
Crying
Begging
God, oh, God
Tonight I will cry
For my heart is sore
And I don't know who will bring the sword
For this girl
For this pathetic girl
Who too easily
Gave her heart.
