Then Came You (edited)

I had so many walls built up,
Which made it hard for me to feel
So many other guys *screwed* up
Which made me think you weren\'t for real.
I kept on pushing you away,
Thinking that you\'d only love me if you stayed,
And you did...
I was so stupid for thining love is something I should forbid.

Somehow though, through all the stress and the tears
You\'re still here.
Somehow though, no matter what we did to each other
Everything now just seems so clear.

Everytime I see you I can\'t help but smile
You make my whole life seem worth while and
I used to be so lonely
I just wanted someone to know me
They all just came and left and I was so convinced that that\'s just what people do
Then came you.

You helped me climb some mountains, and
Forced me to break down my walls,
Helped me be vulnerable
Which is something I couldn\'t do at all.
Then came you.

I try to think of what my life would be without you, and
I think about the drugs and the *screwing* and all of those things that were tearing me apart
I\'m so glad that I finally decided to give you my heart.

When you look me in the eyes I can see the person I want to be
The person that I\'m in love with and
The person I want to spend forever with
The person that showed me that love is no lie, no myth.

I\'m always saying that I wish I could find another way to say, \"I love you\"
Something that means so much more
I think that you know, though, how much I love you just from how I was before
I was so bitter and sad, lonely...
Then came you.
The only one I will love forever and ever, my one and only.
