lyrics

I thought I was beaten down, then you beat me down. I thought I had been around and was strong but you showed me I was wrong. Who knew the dark night of the soul could be so wonderful? My body’s weak and my mind was trained to fear everything, I was so deranged. I didn’t think I could go on in this solitary song, but in the breaking of the dawn I knew I could go on. I wanted some kid of control. I was such a fool. When there’s nothing left to do I just got to let you do what you do. Nothing I had done before did anything to prepare me for you and I don’t know about the pain but true love fell down like rain. I thought I was beaten down, then you beat me down.
