You

There was only blackness
As far as the eye could see
That is atleast until
You took a stand beside me

You pulled the veil from my eyes
And told me all was okay
You wiped away all my tears,
I'll never forget that day

You told me you'd been watching
Had heard my silent cries
Said you couldn't live with yourself
If you let me live in lies

You whispered you would care
And that nothing would happen now
I don't know why you fooled me
I'm not even entirely sure how

I fell for that dumb ol' love song
The one about true love
You promised me the world
All the things I'd been dreaming of

I realize now
Through the grit and grime
That you were actually
Worth my time

I've become sloppy
My hair's a mess
But deep inside,
There's something I must confess

You know I don't like you
After all that you did
But you pulled me from the darkness
In the shadows, where I once hid

You pulled me out
I will never go back there
You helped me so much
I know you still care

You gave me a life
That was finally worth living
I'm just so sorry
I didn't have anything worth giving

What I had,
You wouldn't take
Now I start to wonder
Was it all really fake?

That does not matter anymore
But there is something I must tell you
Something you deserve to know
About what I went through

Nobody really cared
Nobody stuck around
There was never a hand
To help me off the ground

Then you came along
And took me to this world
Looking back now
I can't believe I was that girl

You brought me far
From where I used to be
Now I can't imagine
That little girl being me

Now this girl is strong
Has been through so much
And she thanks you forever
For being her sturdy crutch

I want you to know
That I do still care
And I remember the nights
You were the only one there

I want to thank you
For helping me
I have become
What I always wanted to be

Though we are apart
And your love has gone away
I want you to know
I think of you each day
