Because I tried giving up I tried letting go, but that wasn't the right way. I tried looking for answers in all places; I tried this way and that way, but it was the wrong way. That was all before you came along. I tried giving in to all my demons; I tried hiding who I was. I started to think love wasn't meant for me, but that was before you came. See, love's about sticking around when things get rough and having the courage to work through problems together, or at least that's what love means. I tried so many years living without you, and that was the wrong way. I tried to make myself invisible; I tried to be what everyone liked so badly. I tried to hurt myself, I tried to make friends, I even tried giving up on life a couple of times, but that was all before you came into my world and turned it upside down, making it perfect with your love. And I know we're gonna have ups and downs, but never give up on me because I'm never giving up on you, ever. You've been so strong for all your life; you wear the world on your shoulders. Will you let me help you carry the world so you're not alone? Baby, you've been through hell before me; you've been a walking heartache. You've seen the worst in people, and you've given up sometimes. You've walked away sometimes, and you've been hurt in your past. You've been the one who has always had to stay strong; you've been the one to move through the world unnoticed. You've done so much and yet you feel empty. You've been used before, but baby it's gonna stop with me. You won't ever feel alone. I'm sorry that I'm not everything that you wanted, but I promise in time I can be what you need. You need someone to love you, someone to hold you, you need someone to make you happy just like the rest of us. Because I tried giving up before; I tried letting go, but that wasn't the right way. I tried looking for answers in all places; I tried this way and that way, but it was the wrong way. But that was all before you came along. I tried everything to be happy before you came along.
