Lovin' a Damaged Girl

You say you'll be there til the end
 You say you can forgive where I've been
 But how much do you truly understand
 A damaged girl needs a strong man
 
 There are things that go on in one's mind
 Certain memories one may never leave behind
 Certain wounds that may never heal
 At times I won't be able to tell you how I feel
 Moments may come where I force myself not to run
 Do you truly see the price I pay for damages done

 I feel your gentle touch and see the love in your eyes
 But the baggage I carry and the road I walk
 How much do you truly realize
 
 I love you within my soul and beyond my heart
 I toss and turn missin' you every moment we spend apart.
 I become a giddy little school girl knowin' you'll be home
 Fall into your arms knowin that never again to I have to live in this world alone
 But you must take the time to understand
 Lovin' a damaged girl takes a strong man
