Because of him

I've been sitting and waiting inside my shell
Living inside my personal hell

Waiting for something to happen to me
Something to bring out the real me

I'm tired of hiding all of my tears
And tired of running from all of my fears

Finally came that one special night
And never once did I put up a fight

I never thought I'd let him in
But finally I let him win

All we did that night was dance
Truly for me a divine romance

A few were surprised to see me like that
Because at every other dance all I did was chat

Of all the guys I danced with there
He's the only one who seemed to care

Because of him I opened up
Instead of being stuck in a lonely rut

Now my life has left me feeling fine
I really hope this is a sign

Of greater things that are yet to come
Hopefully a boyfriend because hell ya I want one

He is sweet, as sweet as can be
And from now on the real me is the one people will see.
