After I had fallen completely in love
I thanked God for this gift from above
I didn't see the shackles you carried then
It was my biggest mistake, but I'd make it again.

You had to make sure that it was done
I was CRUSHED, when you said she was the one
I cried, part of me died, I was destroyed inside
But then, Recognition of the beauty in the broken heart
Lifted me up, and I could look at my reflection..
It was a brand new start.

I grew so much in that short time
I learned that standing up for myself wasn't a crime
and I showed you the kindness with tears in my eyes
and your eyes only asked the question, Why.
