ASK ANYONE
                  when we met, i was a mess
                  i was hurting, i was unloved
                  i was scarred and bruised and left and used
ASK ANYONE
                  when we talked, my words found color
                  they became bright and jubilant
                  they became a whirlwind of paint
ASK ANYONE
                 i saw the best parts of myself in you
                 the universe was aligned
                 and fate shown its strong hand
ASK ANYONE
                 when we were over, i felt incomplete
                 like those best parts of me were walking away
                 and i was left, crumpled, angry
ASK ANYONE
                 time taught me how to smile
                 hurt taught me to have heart
                 you taught me of strength
ASK ANYONE
                 i cried at a stop light
                 why won't you let me go?
