I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around
Those bruises hurt.
The cuts stung.
But nothing could compare to the pain inside.
The wounds that never healed were in his heart
The pain that he was…
…that he was so determined to heal.
But she takes it all for me
When she cleaned him up, only then did he see.
She was hurt, too.
And I lost my faith
in my darkest days
His past haunted him, following him closer than his very own shadow.
It felt cold.
Really cold.
He was…
He was so desperate to get away, to feel warm.
But she makes me
When she held his hand, only then did he notice.
He was finally warm.
want to believe.
They call her love, love
He was cold with everyone but her.
He was quiet, until he saw her.
He was strong, until she stood before him.
love, love, love.
She is love
When she smiled at him, only then did he feel.
His knees start to buckle.
and she is all I need.
She is love
He hated everyone, until she argued with him.
He hated the world, until she asked him why.
He hated her, until she helped him onward.
and she is all I need
When she hugged him, only then did he notice.
He didn't hate everything as much as he thought.
She is love
Maybe it was envy.
Maybe it was greed.
But whenever he saw her, he wanted it all for his own, something he couldn't keep.
Whenever he saw her smile, only then did he realize.
and she is all…
It was all he ever needed.
I need.
