When You Tell Me That You Love Me

You came into my life
You didn't ask so much of me.
You're the one giving out
I'm the one taking in

You came into my life
Expecting nothing from me.
You're the one letting it out
I'm the one keeping it in

One day you left me
Without saying a word.
I looked for more of me
Without you on board

One night you came back
And gave me answers I needed
To questions that pulled me back
And made me strong and mended

I was sorry for hurting you
And regret not keeping you
I am whole again for what you said to me
When you tell me that you love me

With you by my side
Keeping me on the bright side
I can feel the joy and laughter you're giving me
When you tell me that you love me
