I Still Wonder
I know deep inside I am his joy and pride
With ears open and eyes alert and wide
I know there isn't anything that he wouldn't do
He makes my days go colorful from the dull blue
I know he couldn't possibly stop his affection if he tried
He miraculously awoke me from when I had died
My reason for living awakes beside me every day
I learn and listen to everything he has to say
I doesn't mean much from your point of view
But you'd cry so many happy tears if our story you knew
I love you so much in every single way
However, if you asked me, I wouldn't know what to say
I couldn't find the words to tell you everything to say
Or how you're my every ounce of living from day to day
The sentences couldn't speak enough to even make sense
Other than your my knight-in-shining-armor ~ you are my prince
The ways you turn my stomach and make the butterflies dance
When I was dead completely, you were my 2nd chance
My 2nd chance of lining up all my ashamed mistakes
You were my 2nd chance for me to open my eyes and awake
You are the reason I stay strong to survive
I couldn't picture any type of future, if you weren't in my life
How do you do it? Take all my breath away?
How did you do it? Give me a reason to stay?
How do you do it? Make these butterflies flap?
How could you possibly stand for all of my crap!?
However you did it, it's done
So therefore, both you and I have won
I still wonder where you got the courage for me
I still wonder to this day what you see that I cannot see
I still wonder why you stay by my side
I still wonder why with you I have pride
I still wonder how you changed my life so well
I wonder to this day, how you pulled me up from that hell
I ask myself ~ am I really with you?
I can't believe to you I've been so true
Baby, you do something to me that I can't explain
But somehow in my head, you've tattooed that in my brain
