A Man who loves the worst of me 

[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
