broken beauty

I've always been beautiful
But it was a broken beauty
Until you saved my soul
My heart, all of me.

I'm not as broken as I used to be
Because you were right there for me
You helped me see so many things
That I couldn't see if I tried
I didn't believe enough in myself
Until you said the words
That fixed my wounded soul.

Somedays I feel like I can fly
I can do anything if you're by my side
And some days I worry
If I'm too much for you
If there's just too much you feel like I have to do
To be okay and not fly away
Back to who I used to be.

I was a broken beauty
Full of scars
Not on my skin
But on my soul, in my heart
The memories have begun to fade
But you haven't gone away
I thought I'd lost you more than once
I guess it's been pure luck
Or maybe something a little more
That keeps us the way we are.

I was a broken beauty
But so were you
I had a lot of work to do
When we first met
I had no idea where this would lead
It's gone much further than I ever dreamed
I've watched you open up and change
Neither of us are the same.
