It's like I've been through
All that I can take
Every mistake that I could make
But it's all becoming clear as day by now
I've broken every heart that I could break
Every excuse that I could fake
But I know I'm going all but nowhere now

I can't imagine how
It came to make sense to me how
I found someone now
Who found the best in me
And all I thought I could be
Was not much more than you see
Now the torn and tattered
Bruised and battered me
And such a life that I lead
She's few and so far between
The night I met her made it better
Made a better me

It's like a glass
Left all but empty space
Every lament that she could face
But it's nothing more than she can handle now
I'm never quite sure how a family tie
Is severed and torn apart with lies
Come together, but this weather's coming now

I can't imagine how
It came to make sense to me how
I found someone now
Who found the best in me
And all I thought I could be
Was not much more than you see
Now the torn and tattered
Bruised and battered me
And such a life that I lead
She's few and so far between
The night I met her made it better
Made a better me

God gave a thousand second chances to a guy like me
'Cause I'm bound to take a thousand tries
She's got a peace that passes understanding in her heart
And for the first time she has hope for a new start
