our story begins

Whispers of the past, trying to hold me back

But there's a new sunrise, gotta find what I lack

Grew up feeling never enough, shadows in my mind

Dad had words like stones, made me feel I was just a lie

Battling a silent storm, Lyme coursing through my veins

They didn't see my pain, they couldn't feel my chains

Looking in the mirror, I see scars and hope

Learning to forgive the past, learning how to cope

Then god sent a hero, shining through the darkness

To lift me up higher, with love so fearless

shadows threaten, try to pull me away

I want to love him, want him to stay

Loving strangers in the night, seeking something true

Thinking I could earn love, I regret the things I’d do

Then my heart was broken and bruised by someone I knew

Open my eyes, feel my husbands gentle touch

Helps me believe my pain isn’t too much

Every scar, a story, every doubt I hide

In my husbands eyes, there's still hope inside

I have my hero, shining through the darkness

You lift me up higher, with love so fearless

Through all his strife , I can see him care

I want him to have all my heart, be aware

No more hiding in the shadows of my pain

With each step I take, I heal again

I now have light that guides me home

I know with him I’m never alone

So I’ll let go of the hurt, forget about them

And open up my heart, to loving him

Rob, you’re my hero, my safe place to start

Finally healing, mending my heart

Be my husband, I’ll be your wife

Realize a fairytale is our life.

Please baby, the past it through

I’ll never let you feel the pain you knew.
