People come and go,
It's just the facts of life,
But when I found you,
It cut down my defenses like a knife,

I never knew that anyone,
Anyone could be so smooth
As to slip past all of my guards,
Still wanting me still too
Love never came easy to me,
Never staying in one place

But you,

You've got a hold on me,
But I never said it would be easy,
I never claimed I would be perfect

Like a wounded animal,
Something deep in me wants to hide,
It has nothing to do with my love for you,
It's the struggle I have inside

With a gentle hand,
You've picked up the wounded me,
Nursing it back to health,
Not ever letting it be,

Slowly making me believe that I can be loved,
But now and then the frightened wounded me,
Calls out to struggle free,
Telling me that I'm not worth loving,
And to just let you be.
