When I looked Into Your Face

Broken vows and wasted years

My scarlet letter slowly appeared

Damaged goods and bitter hearts

My 20s broke me apart

Love was a lie it wasn’t true

My Girlhood dreams felt foolish too

I really tried I did my best

But best laid plans can pass away

I’ve been alone for so long even when I’m not

Empty words and shallow promises

I questioned my worth and my existence

wondering if I was a mistake

Living in despair until that day

When I looked into your face

And everything for me changed

You gave me love and life

You resurrected my mind

I owe you all I only wish

I’d known you before my scars existed

I’m insecure and I doubt if you could love

A girl so hopeless and torn

But you kept proving you’d stay even when I’d hide my face

I’ll cant articulate the gratitude I hold

For you loving me as if I’m whole

Picking up my broken pieces off the floor

And holding me close when I’d almost fall

I’ve been alone for so long even when I’m not

Empty words and shallow promises

I questioned my worth and my existence

wondering if I was a mistake

Living in despair until that day

When I looked into your face

And everything for me changed

You gave me love and life

You resurrected my mind

I owe you all I only wish

I’d known you before my scars existed

I only want you by my side until the day I die

Be my person and my pride

Wells have a family and grow old

And I’ll never tire of your voice

Wells fight to shield our love from those who’d like to see us fall

Just hold my hand we’ll make it through

My life is nothing without you

I’ve been alone for so long even when I’m not

Empty words and shallow promises

I questioned my worth and my existence

wondering if I was a mistake

Living in despair until that day

When I looked into your face

And everything for me changed

You gave me love and life

You resurrected my mind

I owe you all I only wish

I’d known you before my scars existed

You kissed my wounds and gave your heart

I’ll never let it break apart

Every night lay by my side

Keep me safe and shield my mind

Demons seek to slice apart the worth I’ve found with you

I won’t fall back into the despair I felt before you

I’m not alone I’m with my love

Your words are real they give me hope

I know my worth

And I value life

I never thought I’d hope for more

My scarlet letter doesn’t define me anymore

Since you looked past my sin and took me as I am

The truth is If we never met I could be dead

Living in the bottom of a pit of your own regret

Can take your will to live

Please know you’re life saved mine

Let’s have a family and grow old

A home created out of hope

I’ll never leave I’ll always stay

working to be worthy of you every day
