I had given up, I didn't know who to [bad word]  oh
So I designed a shell
Kept me from heaven and [bad word]  oh
Yeah, I had hit a low
Was all I let myself know, yeah
Yeah, I had locked life out
I was imprisoned by doubt

You found me dressed in black
Hiding with a battered back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life'd passed me by
Released my tears ignored my pride
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears you made me laugh
And you covered my heart in your kisses

I was down for the count, yes I was down I was out, oh
And I had lost it all, cause I was scared I was torn
And I took to the night, I'd given into the fire, oh
And I slipped further down, I felt like I am drawn

You found me dressed in black
Hiding with a battered back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life'd passed me by
Released my tears, ignored my pride
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears you made me laugh
And you covered my heart in kisses

I was hoping there was more then you walked in the door for me
Yeah, I was hiding and you let the light in and now I see
As a jewel for the wounded, what they couldn't see till you set them free
Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the mind of a key

You found me dressed in black
Hiding with a battered back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life'd passed me by
Released my tears ignored my pride
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears you made me laugh
And then you covered my heart in your kisses
