The One

I was nothing Til I saw your gentle smile I was running To escape my own denial I was trouble Looking for a place to land I was heartache, big mistake Lost child, in denial Dead end, can't defend You came in and called me friend And you're the one who makes me happy And you're the one who makes me strong And you're the reason I lift my head up When I would rather just drift along You were perfect Standing in your gentleness You were waiting Til you could calm my recklessness You were patient And I don't know why you were I was in deep, rescued me Made me what I ought to be Ignore the crowd, call me out I just want to make you proud I was nothing Til I saw your gentle smile I was running To escape my own denial And you're the one who makes me happy And you're the one who makes me strong And you're the reason I lift my head up When I would rather just drift along And you're the one who makes me happy And you're the one who makes me strong And you're the reason I lift my head up When I would rather just drift along
