[Lyrics: Beth Malcolm]
I didn’t know my ugly side, til I fell in love
I learned to push my anger inside, til I fell in love
And I’ve always been afraid of the silence before the sleep
But his comfort in the quiet, you know it sets me free
I didn’t know my darker side, til I fell in love
I people-pleased my way through life, til I fell in love
And I’ve always been afraid of the ice, when they roll over to their side
But his rays of midnight sun keep me warm til morning comes
Some days all of my demons, and all of my vices
Come to light
And all the time this man takes me in his stride
I didn’t know my lonely side, til I fell in love
I can’t deny I starved by body sometimes, til I fell in love
And I’ve always needed to be touched to feel wanted
But his kind words showed me how to love
Some days all of my demons, and all of my vices
Come to light
And all the time this man takes me in his stride
I learned it from my kin, some matriarchal destiny
To take pain on the chin, and let is make the best of me
But I watch him from the sidelines and how he’s taking care of me
And I wonder if I’ve broken free, here’s a man who loves the worst of me
