Beautiful In Your Eyes
The heart beating inside my chest is not my own.
I thought mine died a long time ago.
The tears that once filled my eyes,
Suddenly have stopped, gone, been dried.
And I'm finally catching my breath,
Surviving my own death.
Through you I am starting to see,
The future's bright all the things I can be.
Locked out in the dark, in the cold,
You took my hand, gave me something to hold.
Helped me to love myself,
Because you loved me more than anyone else.
And I knew I was beautiful in your eyes.
You saw the truth, looked past the lies.
Reminded me that there's more to life,
Than living and dying.
All alone you found me,
And stopped my crying.
You knew me better than I ever knew myself.
Saw right through me, knew I wasn't like anybody else.
And you liked that.
Made me see it was okay to be like that.
You took my hand and I followed you through the dark.
Even though I couldn't see a thing,
I knew I was safe from all harm.
You picked me up when I fell down,
Caught me before I hit the ground,
Held me close to keep me warm,
Spared me any alarm,
Blocked out any pain,
Sheilded me from all the rain.
Helped me to love myself,
Because you loved me more than anyone else.
Loved me entirely, my whole self.
