I had given up, I didn't know who to trust, oh So I designed a shell Kept me from heaven and hell, oh Yeah, I had hit a low Was all I let myself know, yeah Yeah, I had locked life out I was imprisoned by doubt
You found me dressed in black Hiding with a battered back Life had broken my heart into pieces You took my hand in yours You started breaking down my walls And you covered my heart in kisses I thought life'd passed me by Released my tears ignored my pride Life had broken my heart, my spirit And then you crossed my path You quelled my fears you made me laugh And you covered my heart in your kisses
I was down for the count, yes I was down I was out, oh And I had lost it all, cause I was scared I was torn And I took to the night, I'd given into the fire, oh And I slipped further down, I felt like I am drawn
You found me dressed in black Hiding with a battered back Life had broken my heart into pieces You took my hand in yours You started breaking down my walls And you covered my heart in kisses I thought life'd passed me by Released my tears, ignored my pride Life had broken my heart, my spirit And then you crossed my path You quelled my fears you made me laugh And you covered my heart in kisses
I was hoping there was more then you walked in the door for me Yeah, I was hiding and you let the light in and now I see As a jewel for the wounded, what they couldn't see till you set them free Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the mind of a key
You found me dressed in black Hiding with a battered back Life had broken my heart into pieces You took my hand in yours You started breaking down my walls And you covered my heart in kisses I thought life'd passed me by Released my tears ignored my pride Life had broken my heart, my spirit And then you crossed my path You quelled my fears you made me laugh And then you covered my heart in your kisses
