In the past, when you barely knew my name
Was a time when I rotted in sorrow and shame
My emotions dammed up and bottled in
As I drowned in self pity
Drowned in sin

I fixed myself, but the dam remained
A scar left by my former pain
I ignored it and I was happy with life
But you gave me so much more

You taught me how to feel again
Broke the dam, unleashed the flood
In you I had a home again
You restored the warmth back to my blood

I didn't know how to repay you
An angel is what you seemed to be
I only wanted to embrace you
In comforting arms eternally

I tried to tell you how much you meant to me
But you just didn't realize
And words of loved rolled off your tongue
But you were just fooled by a guise

You were glad to forgive me for what I used to be
You were glad to forgive me for waiting so long
But something made you change the way you looked at me
And then you left me hurting, broken and wronged

The one who loved to
Spend time by your side
More than anything on earth

The one you had to teach
So carefully
That there's something life is worth

You taught me how to feel again
Broke the dam, unleashed the flood
(Taught me how to feel)
In you I had a home until you
Cut me out and spilled my blood
(You burned down my home)

And even though you left me
(Broken)
Bleeding on the floor
(In darkness)
You'll always have a friend in me
(Open arms)
I will never lock the door
(And open heart)

You taught me how to feel and then
We fell in love but crashed and burned
And things will never be the same
But I'll wait for my friend to return
