You were subtle and caring,
And I loved you for it.
You pulled me up And showed me the light,

And I loved you for it.

You thought I was something
When the rest of the world Didn’t think at all,

And I loved you for it.

You took the silver piece
Before I put it to my head,
Not knowing you had saved me,
Not knowing you had given me hope,

And I loved you for it.

You were everything I ever needed,
And you stumbled upon me,
Right out of the blue,
And helped me in more ways than I could ever repay you for

And I loved you for it.

Sometimes I think I care,
Just a little too much.
Sometimes I think I dream,
Just because I know you’ll be in them,
Holding me in your arms.

Sometimes I think I hate,
Because I can never amount
To your perfection
And give you what you deserve.

Sometimes I think I cry,
Because I miss you,
But I know,
That I’m not good enough,

Not smart or pretty or strong enough.
Sometimes I think I love,
Because you showed me what it was,

You opened my heart,
You made it warm,
You threw away the shadows
And filtered out everything
I couldn’t stand.

And I loved you for it.
