I had given up 
I didn't know who to [bad word] 
So I designed a shell 
Kept me from heaven and [bad word] 
And I had hit a low 
Was all I let myself know 
Yeah I had locked my heart 
I was imprisoned by dark 

You found me dressed in black 
Hiding way up at the 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 passed me by 
Missed my tears, ignored my cries 
Life had broken my heart, my spirit 
And then you crossed my path 
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh 
Then you covered my heart in kisses 

I was down for the count 
I was down I was out 
And I had lost it all 
'Cause I was scared, I was torn 
And I took to the night 
I'd given in to the fight 
And I slipped further down 
I felt like I had drowned 

You found me dressed in black 
Hiding way up at the 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 passed me by 
Missed my tears, ignored my cries 
Life had broken my heart, my spirit 
And then you crossed my path 
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh 
Then you covered my heart in kisses 

I was hopeless and broken 
You opened the door for me 
Yeah I was hiding and you let the light in 
And now I see 
That you do for the wounded 
What they couldn't seem to 
You set them free 
Like a butterfly kissing a child 
With an eye for the minor key 

You found me dressed in black 
Hiding way up at the 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 passed me by 
Missed my tears, ignored my cries 
Life had broken my heart, my spirit 
And then you crossed my path 
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh 
Then you covered my heart in kisses 
Covered my heart in kisses
