You've Changed My Life

Life was falling, my vision was crumbling
All my hopes withered and the winds were rumbling
Nothing left for me but to move stones that were crumbling
And dress as a fool
So unusual, my dreams flash in a pan

Vigor has been lost in the wind, hope became just a word
My best friend and worst enemy hitchhiking with Henry Ford
The stars were too up high, they had to be abandoned
After I loved and lost
After I moved to this eerie quiet town

But you changed my life
In my time of strife, you gave me a new mind

I sat alone for months crying
The doors were open, the exits were many
Which one should I take I didn't know
Love was something that only brought tears
No foundation was worth what was set upon it

Given up the chase, given up finding her too
None of them seemed worth the effort to me
All what was left was petty sex
Whenever I got it and it made me lonely

But you changed my life
In my time of strife, under overcast skies

No ghosts haunted me but my own
In my own head and of a past lover
Left me in tears, broken, self-loathing and afraid
Who would accept me wasn't yet born I said

Cried remembering how desperate everything was
How hard it was to put up a smile and choose to be happy
But I chose it out of lack of any other choice
Nothing in life is for free

But you changed my life
In my time of need, you made heart bleed

Then you came, into my life
Outta nowhere
Your smile curing all that ails
As if I never cried as if I never knew despair

I got drunk into your love
Knowing it will grow as we grow
Can't stop myself from wanting more
More Time with you
 Is all I'll ever want

Since you changed my life
From silver and gold into what no man can hold

But I'm still broken
Moving on and growing doesn't hide the scars
Broken promises
Finding easy to love but hard to trust
I feel threatened so I shut myself
And hurt those who are around

Yet you are still there, in my heart
With my favorite picture of you
With your smile so sweet and tender
It is almost as if I was just born yesterday
No scars and no broken heart
As if I were a new-born, born just for you
Just you…

You changed my life
In my time of strife, you gave me a new mind
