If you'll hear me out
I'll explain it to you
My life before I met you
Was shaky at its best
Every one I know
Has put me through the test
They've made me cry, made me scream
Left me wondering why
Life has to be so damn mean
When all I've done is try
I've struggled time and time again
To rise above the fray
Only to be shot back down
Lonely and broken at the end of every day
It's made it hard for me to trust
Hard for me to see the light
But here you are, bright as day
Stretching out your hand to hold
So if you'll hang in there with me
You can find my heart of gold
