Bring me back to life

You know you're so far gone when your reflection is a stranger
No matter how hard you try the thought of you who you are lingers
In my dreary and rather detached daze
I somehow found you and it changed me without delay
I don't know how or why but since you I've began to remember how to live
I know it's hard to believe
But you gave me my breath again and helped me smile again
No longer did I feel alone in crowded rooms but instead you made me grin
It's crazy how big an impact someone can have without knowing
If only you knew the desires I have are rather mind blowing
I felt like a corpse wandering around endlessly
But there you were to pull me out of my alerted sleep
Your smile caught me by surprise the way that it slowly crept along your face
And then it took my heart on a thousand mile per hour race
With your laugh I felt the facade I wore crumble down
Somehow I felt hope spring up and abound
Instead of holding my breath hoping nobody gives me a second glance
I find myself hoping you give me a chance
I used to wish upon the stars for anything to bring me back to life
Little did I know my angel was never in the skies
You sauntered over on your toes and looked captivating
I doubt my appreciation for you even needs restating
I have my flaws and I've died inside
But somehow you were the one to bring me back to life
I cast my lot and hoped for the best
When really I prayed and God did the rest
Not everyone finds their other half much less escape this dreary world
But some people have a chance to have our story retold
Instead of alone and afraid we find ourself together and brave
It's indeed amazing being someone who's finally been saved
