Me, Myself, and Everybody Else

If Not For You

Sometimes I get lost

Sometimes I hide from the truth

Sometimes I would do much wrong

If not for you

Sometimes when I am alone

A passing thought flitters through my mind

Pieces of dreams

Fragments of hope

Things I want to achieve

Qualities I whan to gain

I would not find these

If not for you

Someday when I look in the mirror

I want to see someone

That I am just as prod of

As I am of you

When that day comes

If that day comes

I will know who to thank

I will know who spoke to me

And listened when I spoke

I will know who gave advice

When I needed it

Who was there when I needed them

Even if I didn't realize it at the time

I will know

Who unfailingly forgave me

Every time I lashed out

For petty things

And even though I am not there yet

I can still see these things

This love you have shown

This strength of character

And I still know

That I would not be the person I am today

If not for you
