It Took That Much

It took that much
To wake you up
To hear the sounds
To turn around
It took that much
To shake you up
To make you see
To help you feel
And see what’s real
It took that much
For you to know
Who to hold on to
And who to let go
It took that much
To regain the faith
To return the hope
And be able to cope
It took that much
To breathe again
To feel that beat in your heart
To realize you’ve been given another chance

For You

That day
Not so long ago
I swore I’m done
I made a vow
This heart of mine
Would never feel that pain
Again
Turned it to stone
And stayed alone
Then
Why, from where and how
I still don’t know
You came along
To me, you got through
You gave me hope
You taught me trust
You made me smile
And to no one
I’ve ever been that close
And I’ve never felt that happy
Now, I just don’t know
Where we stand
I feel so lost
No one understands
