Because of you I’m full of laughter.
Before I was sad and confused;
I didn’t know if I would make it
But I did because with you
I didn’t have to fake it.

Because of you I feel complete.
Before I was lost and afraid,
But not anymore because with you
I don’t have to be that way.

What did it take for you to make me see?
What does it matter, if loving me was enough
For you to stay and never leave?
I don’t have the words enough to thank you—

Because of you I’m full of laughter,
Because of you I feel complete,
Because loving me was enough
To make me see that I’ll never
Be sad or confused or lost and afraid—
Because of you I’ll never be that way.
