I've been hurt in the past
Made to feel an outcast
Through the pain I held fast
Finally found love at last

Made to feel like less than nothing
Never even saw it coming
Twisted and manipulated
Said you loved but only hated
Ripped to pieces broken down and
Tossed aside and kicked around I
Walked away I'm still retreating
Tortures just kept on repeating
Angry words I cannot let go
Silent tears cried in the shadows
Face the world with smiles hiding
Inside I still feel like dying
Broke away now time to rebuild
Memories I try hard to kill
Next thing I know I turn and see
I've Fallen unexpectedly

Love was phony
Lost and lonely
You have shown me
No one owns me

I've been hurt in the past
Made to feel an outcast
Through the pain I held fast
Finally found love at last

Started out just being friendly
No intentions what this might be
Conversations made in passing
Led to coffee tears from laughing
Just a friendship nothing more I
Keep my heart behind locked doors
Everyday our talks grew longer
Repressed feelings growing stronger
Voice inside my head kept nagging
But my feet I still were dragging
That night we walked beneath the stars
Shared our stories all our scars
Looked into your eyes so deeply
Leaned into your lips completely
A new love rises like the sun
That's when I knew you were the one

Took it slowly
Brave and boldly
Now I know me
When you hold me

I've been hurt in the past
Made to feel an outcast
Through the pain I held fast
Finally found love at last
I've been hurt in the past
Made to feel an outcast
Through the pain I held fast
Finally found love at last
