Like you always say.
I gave my heart a chance
And I’m thankful to this day.
You didn’t need my permission
To be who you are.
Asking for help
Isn’t what got you this far.
I’m convinced you would’ve touched my life
Whether I acknowledged it or not.
I just pray you’re blessed
For making me have a second thought.
I’d retired my heart
From its years of pain.
I thought there was life without love
Until you came.
You, in your own way, convinced me
To give it one more try.
Now you’ve opened the window to my soul
And, for that, I’ll be thankful until I die.
