Verse 1:

Every night, with my gun in my hand

To scared to run, too weak to fight.

Hoping that the morning light, won't ever come

To force me into one more day of pain.

Every night, I hold that knife

Sharpening the blade, for today, trying to pray.

Thinking of pain, shame, and those days

When people told me that I'm not worth it.

Chorus:

Sitting all alone, far from home

That boy took my hands, pulled me to my feet once again

Lifted my chin to see that smile bright as the sun

Told me I was too great to run.

Your joy brought me back to life, and took away that knife

The joy that your brought, took me to a better place

You make me want to live, live again.

Verse 2:

Every night, I star at lights down the hallway

I want to take that step, on to the street.

Would God and I finally meet?

Wanting to step, remembering the burn

Every night, I hold that rope.

My friends left me all alone

I needed help before sun rise

God, can't you answer my why's?

(Chorus)

You became my prince charming, my love , my happy ending.

You took away all the pain, covered my head in the rain.

Made me want to live again.
