about

I wrote this song in September 2011. When I wrote this song I was suffering from severe depression. I felt that no one would love me and that I would die alone. I tell about how I've been lonely most of my life and what I had to do to create hope for myself. The end tells about my future wife and how she will take a way the loneliness. Currently I have never been happier and I feel I've met the one I will marry.

lyrics

I wrote a beautiful list so I know that you exist
And so I know that I’m not wasted space
At the edge of a knife
I’ve lived all my life
And I will not stop ‘til I see your face

I gathered up my heart so I could start to understand the meaning of the life I had been leading
Anyway this road’s been lonely
Feeling unwanted and homely
Waiting just outside the lines
Waiting for the time to come

I want to be in love not in pieces
I want to be in love not in pieces
I want to be in love not in pieces
I want to be in love not in pieces

In essence I have faced the devil in this place
A struggle just to know I’m there
This body left unopened is beaten and broken
It gives me hope to know that someone cares

I want to be in love not in pieces
I want to be in love not in pieces
I want to be in love not in pieces
I want to be in love not in pieces

And as I cry
A figure comes by
Takes my hand
Sits by my side
Says know you’re mine
And I reply
I wonder why
And you reply
Your heart is mine
You are mine
Oh you are mine for all time
