Tied Down, Set Free
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
