Page 51 of In the Shadows

Until you came along and showed me you cared

Fighting past the wrongs, for you were my right

Chorus:

Blinded by my own hatred

Hatred of who I was

I couldn’t see the light

Trapped alone inside my head

Hating what I’d become

But you saw past all of that

Saw deep inside my soul

Reaching the depths that no other had

It was always you I was longing for

The life we’re building is unfolding right before my eyes

As I watch your bruised body lie here, I pray for some sign of life

My heart aches with the need to hold you in my arms

Needing to hear you say those three little words

My insecurities are no longer hidden

As everyone can clearly see

The fear that you won’t awaken

Has taken away the best part of me

I long to hear you laugh

To once again hold your hand

To tell you how much I love you

To make you understand

Chorus:

Blinded by my own hatred

Hatred of who I was

I couldn’t see the light

Trapped alone inside my head

Hating what I had become
