Only Because of Your Love

They told you to beware They said that together we'd go nowhere They say my life had been limited to what I came from But look at me now, look what I've become You still embraced me and opened your heart Guess you knew you could rebuild the girl the world tore apart Along the journey you've known you could keep me strong And the whole way there we're writin' our own love song They told you to beware They said that together we'd go nowhere They say my life had been limited to what I came from But look at me now, look what I've become Only because of your love You lift me up as I stumble and fall Your love carries me when I can only crawl I came to you as a lost and broken girl Too scared to trust a soul in the world I was shy and confused In search only of myself But look at me now, look what I've become Only because of your love You lift me up as I stumble and fall Your love carries me when I can only crawl God knows lovin' a lineman can sometimes be lonely and cold Yet waitin' here with just your memory to keep me warm never grows old You tear down those walls one nail at a time You show me who I can be You light up my heart for the world to see Look at me now, look what I've become Only because of your love
