Then You Happened

Original

I said yes, I wore white.

Till death wasn't a lie, 'cause part of me had to die keeping it alive.

Ball and chain, four walls. Felt trapped in my own home.

Soon as I got out, swore I was better off alone.

My heart had turned to stone.

Then you happened to walk in right when I needed something strong, a different kind of song.

Then you happened to listen and laugh when I just needed to smile.

I gave up for a while, and then you happened.

Six months, moved in.

Old fears creep in. We had our first big fight.

Thought here we go again.

I was about to call it quits.

Then you happened to walk in right when I needed something strong, a different kind of song.

Then you happened to listen and laugh when I just needed to smile.

It had been a while, but then you happened.

Ooh.

Round two, wearing white. Cold feet, terrified. All up in my head.

Can I do this again?

And then you happened to walk in right when I needed someone strong.

The right one came along.

And then you happened to listen and laugh when I just needed to smile.

I gave up for a while, and then you happened.

Then you happened.
