My Upside to Life

You took me by surprise
When you took me by my hand
You said it would be alright
Even if you didn’t understand

So I’ll try to explain it
But it’s gonna be hard to say
I don’t want to say something
And have you interpret it in the wrong way

My life is a mess
And my family’s dysfunctional
And when things go wrong
I get extremely emotional

But there’s an upside to life
And that would be you
You love me with all of your heart
And this I know is true

With you, my life’s worth living
So please stay here forever
Stay in this town
So we can be together
