Disclaimer-I own nothing. Lyrics are Plumb's song Damaged.
I remember the first time I laid eyes on you. You were in my Calculus class at Stanford. I always hated that they made you take math even if your major had nothing to do with math. You were sitting there, three rows down from me. I saw you as you chose your seat, trying to find a spot as far away from anyone else as you could get in a crowded lecture hall.
Dreaming comes so easily
'Cause it's all that I've know
True love is a fairy tale
I'm damaged, so how would I know
I'm scared and I'm alone
I'm ashamed and I need for you to know
I looked at you thought you looked so lonely, so lost. The first time I really saw you, your face showed nothing but your eyes screamed for acceptance. I went out to a restaurant off campus with my roommate-they wanted to celebrate making it through our first year of college. We saw you there, taking orders and bringing customers their food. When you came over to our table you nearly took my breath away.
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to sayAnd you can't take back what you've taken away
'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Your face was so beautiful, your hair so wonderful. You saved me that night. You may not have known it, but you did. I, like you, was a very lonely person. I never felt like I belonged, even in a group of friends. I was always the outsider, the third wheel. But you changed that. You saved my soul, taught me to be myself. I didn't even learn your name until that night when you introduced yourself to us. All through the dinner my roommate made jokes about how cute and kitten-like you were. I agreed. You also looked like a lost kitten that just wanted a little kid to come and pick them up out of that "free kittens" box and take you home.
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
My heart was so cold that night, so broken. It had never had the chance to live, beat, and thrive. You changed that. I gave you my number and you called me the next week. You let me open my heart, let me feel. You took my soul and watched as it bloomed and grew. You made me forget my past and look to my future-a future with you.
Healing comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Will anyone get close to me?
I'm damaged, as I'm sure you know
I suppose that future could never be, though. It was ripped away from us as quickly as it was presented to us. I loved you more than anything. More than I ever should have loved. You had a purpose, however–one that did not include me. You had reason for being.
I just want you to know that you saved me that night. As you brought out our food and took my number, you saved me. All the times you kissed me and held me, all the times you loved me and praise me, you saved me. And now I will save you. For you see, I have gained a purpose, a reason for being. My purpose is to watch over you. To save you when you need me to. You were my guardian angel and now it is my time to be yours. I thank you for helping me, saving me. I thank you...my dear Sam.
There's mending for my soul
An ending to this fear
Forgiveness for a man who was stronger
I was just a little girl, but I can't go back
And you can't take back what you've taken away
'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
A.N: I thank you for reading this and making it to the end. I mean no offence to anyone by what I've written around the lyrics and what I and the lyrics imply about Jessica's life before she met Sam. Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks.
