darkest days

you were the light in the darkness that i lived in full of redemption and sin, even though i was surrounded by the best of friends, my future was looking dim, you gave me hope in a time when i lost control, about to lose my soul, you picked me up from the gutters that i once roamed, helped my see what i now know, when i thought there was no one there for me, your light shined on me, you gave me hope, you gave me all i need, you set me free, when i fought against myself, to be as good as i can be, you gave me strength; you gave me what i need, you're everything to me, in the darkest of days you came into my life, it was full of so much strife, self-destruction was the name of the game that i played, you reinforced the values that i had lost, at no price or cost, and even when i slipped into the darkness again, you fought to bring me back in, i hope you know what you mean to me, you mean everything, i hope you know that, i'd do anything for you, i mean anything, you made a man out of me, when i thought i knew it all, i knew nothing, you brought me hope in my darkest days, i love you more than anything, when i thought there was no one there for me, your light shined on me, you gave me hope, you gave me all i need, you set me free, when i fought against myself to be as good as i could be, you gave me strength, you gave me all i need, you're always there for me
