Shadow Kiss - Finding Yourself

I thought you said you loved me
thought you were the one
to finally see
the true beauty deep inside me
But it was not to be

still you held in me in your arms
and swore that you would shield me from any harm
and then you kissed me tenderly
and my world shined
and I rose again, leaving regret behind

Somehow it seems that every girl must suffer
But I guess that’s how we mature
Because as my heart heals I have gotten a lot tougher
Love is, after all, the greatest adventure

I thought about the hurt and the pain
And never even dreamed that I would be able to let go
Tears pouring down my face like rain
The voice the thunder, the eyes the lightning, and so…

Life is quirky
You never know how you might surprise yourself
It all depends on how you treat yourself
If you know how to love yourself
Properly.
