If Not For You

When I was something like eight or nine I had misconceptions about how much time It takes to become someone who's not unkind To their neighbors, their family, their friends and their mind I wouldn't be here if not for you I wouldn't be here if not for you When I was something like twenty-two I misrepresented my feelings for you And so many others who could have been true If I painted my body more colors than blue 'Cause I wouldn't be here if not for you I wouldn't be here if not for you Someday I hope that I'll be thirty-eight And shatter these mirrors all covered in hate I'll turn them to windows, I won't be afraid Of outside, or inside, or beside your face 'Cause I wouldn't be here if not for you I wouldn't be here if not for you I wouldn't be here if not for you I wouldn't be here if not for you When I was someone like you are now I had no direction, I had no way how How to make the corrections and find my way out But you came and you found me and I'll find you now I'll find you now
