Every love I found was just an escape
A waste of time trying to fill an empty space
I could blame the man I was trying to portray
But where's the sense in that these days
When I first met you I could tell you were like me
A lost lover in a sea of uncertainties
Stuck in a tide you couldn't change
Afraid of falling in too deep
I don't blame you at all
We all have our own scars
All you need is your own time alone
And I just hope I'm strong enough to hold on
Don't worry love you're perfect the way you are
That ol smile and laugh will surely get you far
You reminded me of the worth I thought I'd lost
If you stay I'll try to mend your broken heart
I don't blame you at all
We all have our own scars
All you need is your own time alone
And I just hope I'm strong enough to hold on
