I took my time
While I was making up reasons in my mind
To justify all this pain I've kept inside
From fake smiles to lieing eyes
I wanted the bitterness in me to just die

My mama never loved me much
I've never felt honesty in a touch
I shy away from human affection
Until the day you came to me, baby
And I soon found out
Love is blinding, there's no surviving

We had been tried for treason
And crimes we never committed
Love was such a barren place
Seemed there was no hope for the human race
So I started hanging all my hopes on stars
Until they would burn out and be forever gone

My heart was in pieces
Left for the scavengers
To come and pick it apart
I was imprisoned inside my own mind
Hiding behind a convincing smile
All the while thinking
There must be some serenity left in this life

The demons of my own design
Followed me down
My failures engulfed me
And stole my will to fly
But I survived and now
The taste of love will never leave my lips again

I hated all the broken pieces of myself
Until you loved them with a passion
Now I'm feeling completely unbroken
And the brightest parts of me
Are only shades of you
The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion will remain true
This heart is yours everlasting
Your words are forever my inspiration
And my heart beats your name only

It's easy to lose faith in things unseen,
Unsure of what to believe,
Just dying to be loved
Giving up on hopes and dreams,
And letting doubt take everything
But my belief in you will always remain

For so long
I tried to save myself
All the while in sorrow I was drowning
My heart crying out
Then there you were
An image of sheer perfection
You saw the beauty in my flaws;
you pick me up when I fall,
show me the way when I am lost
In the eye of the storm
I know now I'm not alone
Because you give me the strength
I need to carry on

I find my purpose when I look at you
I'll be transparent with my heart
Letting my true colors shine through
I'm a poet without words
Speechless cause you love me at my worst
What did I do to deserve
Someone like you?

You were a starving artist
But you let your walls come down
And found that love is limitless
When you find what's meant to be
It's Supernatural,
It's more than what can be seen
A trust that couldn't be broken
Always seemed impossible to me
But now I've tasted true love and I believe
We're eternal
                             You and me
