I was so angry, running scared
until she caught me unaware

an angel fallen from above
that taught me how to live and love


before her I was filled with hate
I blamed each circumstance on fate

it took me far too long to see
that she always believed in me


so I approached her, acting tough
I don't know how she called my bluff

she seen the heart I tried to hide
behind all of my foolish pride


so I tucked tail and ran away
but she still found me anyways

seemed all I'd lost, in her I found
she helped me turn my life around


now I'm no longer running scared
for anything I am prepared

she filled my empty heart with love
and gave me strength to rise above


she even tore out all the hate
and helped me realize my fate

and now I think I finally see
why she would not give up on me


and if all that was not enough
she broke me down and made me tough

she stripped away my foolish pride
and showed me what I tried to hide


she tied me down and set me free
in her I found serenity

and all I lacked, in her I found
so I will never let her down
