Figure Me Out Part 1

Verse 1: You'll never escape my mind...you're a wonderful find 
You made me open my eyes when I was blind 
You showed me the way to happiness
Positivity comes through me and pushes away the wretched sadness 
I find myself getting into trouble, but God forgives me of my foolish ways
I've been called several names that put me to shame...I'm feeling low these days 
I'm put to the test all over again
And I'm wondering where you've been 
Don't throw me away like an inkless pen...I trust you'll be faithful to me
Don't blow me away like the breeze to the leaves...we were meant to be 
We can do whatever floats our demented boat 
I'm glad you are embracing me like my comfy, warm coat

Pre-chorus: Mmmm ohhhh ohhh 
The worst pain I've felt in my life was when I left your side
I'm slowly breaking down, so build me up with your confidence...your confidence
I fear that I might lose you, so stay close to me...as you and I go on a wild ride 
Hold my hand tightly and relieve my heartache...make me less tense 
Figure me out and hold me tight all night 
Leave no room for doubt and fight the good fight 
In the darkness, you're my light beyond sight 

Chorus: I have been afraid of losing grip of the rope of hope
It's okay if you let me go; I'll just let my wings fly and go with the flow 
I've been fooled way too many times and it makes me wanna mope 
It's fine with me to be in solitude; I'd rather be on my own then with someone I hardly know 
I see you, crystal clear in my vision
I love you, you completed my love mission
I miss you, I feel you, even when you're not around and I wanna prove to you that you made my day 
I kiss you, you left me breathless the moment you and I shared a moment, so sacred and took all my pain away 
So breathtaking without any smear of dread...wishing you'd make my day 
In your arms is where I wanna stay and you are the sun, smiling at me everyday...I thank you for the pain you wiped away 

Verse 2: You make me smile when you and I hang out for a while...
You drove me tears when you said goodbye yesterday...that doused me in dismay 
I'll make the most of tomorrow and run the extra mile...
You place your hands on mine and your warmth protects me I must say, I am having my way today
Don't give up on me and don't turn the other cheek...or I might grow weak 
I'm chasing butterflies in my stomach 
Do embrace me tonight and lighten up my load...your compassion is what I seek 
My heart yearns for you, I want you back
I still carry you around like my school backpack
Fenced in by the foolishness of my heart 
Snowed under by the aftershocks of breaking apart

Pre-chorus: Mmmm ohhhh ohhh 
The worst pain I've felt in my life was when I left your side
I'm slowly breaking down, so build me up with your confidence...your confidence
I fear that I might lose you, so stay close to me...as you and I go on a wild ride 
Hold my hand tightly and relieve my heartache...make me less tense 
Figure me out and hold me tight all night 
Leave no room for doubt and fight the good fight 
In the darkness, you're my light beyond sight 

Chorus: I have been afraid of losing grip of the rope of hope
It's okay if you let me go; I'll just let my wings fly and go with the flow 
I've been fooled way too many times and it makes me wanna mope 
It's fine with me to be in solitude; I'd rather be on my own then with someone I hardly know 
I see you, crystal clear in my vision
I love you, you completed my love mission
I miss you, I feel you, even when you're not around and I wanna prove to you that you made my day 
I kiss you, you left me breathless the moment you and I shared a moment, so sacred and took all my pain away 

Verse 3: You're not a waste of space, baby, so don't say otherwise 
In my eyes, you are everything I need and want...you're the friend that I prize
So, don't abandon me all of the sudden and don't subside from my side 
Abide by my side and be my hero, saving me from my downfalls with courage and pride
Be brave when you face hardships that are too hard to face
Have faith, for you are so much better than a trace of vast grace 
I've been running 'round the place, whirling thoughts of you flood my mind oh so fast 
I've been weeping and sleeping because I feel discouraged over the mistakes I've made in the past
