I did it all for you...
I searched my soul and found a deep chasm
It was a well full of the darkest parts of my life
In it I stored all of the pain, anger, hate, and sorrow
In it I protected the bitterness and skepticism
I covered the well with a concrete seal and hid it away from the world
Then I met you...
I was scarred and bruised
I was broken and afraid
I was ready to throw in the towel
I would never love again
I would never marry again
I would never have children
Then I met you...
You made me love you
You made me care for you
You told me you would always be there
You told me you would leave if I said no to marriage
You told me that you wanted to heal me
I showed you the well in my soul
I took off the lid and handed you the contents
You took it all and buried it
I don't know where...
I don't care where...
I filled the well with you
I filled it with your love
I filled it with your promises
I keep it open and ready to receive more
I gave myself to you because you asked me to
I wanted you to be happy
I'll always want you to be happy
I did it all for you...
and I'll continue to do it all for you until the day I die

It freezes me,
They're cold,
Hard,

He said if you could walk a mile in my shoes
If you could see all the heartaches I've been through
And if you could feel the
The little bum
with certain hue
was wiped with care
despite the goo.
The muddy sock
that was musty too
was washed with care
