Ask For

Love was lost, nowhere in sight
But from the darkness comes the light
Cause there you walked into my life
How easily you made things right

I didn't know what to make of it
But everything you did just seemed to fit
Oh, we fell in love
I held you tighter and
We learned to kiss and then
I knew we were blessed from up above

And I knew it was more than I could ask for
We took a chance, and we let love inside
We never knew where it was all going
We only knew it was only a matter of time

You showed me how to love again
You opened up and let me in
But then that trust was on the line
A failure of my own design
Oh, I would rather sooner die
Then put the light out in your eyes

I didn't know what to make of it
But everything I did just seemed to slip
I was falling apart
I had to let go and then
We met a bitter end
Picking up our shattered hearts

There were times I was lonely and numb
Surrounded by strangers disguised as loved ones
You broke through and you showed me a smile
In your eyes, I could see a wildfire
And there we were on top of the world
Showered by the glistening sun
And by night, I held you tight
Two souls becoming one

If I could only turn back time
What I wouldn't do to make you mine
You were the one that got away
If I could hold you tight and then
Lean in to kiss and then
I'd do it all to mend our pain

But I know it was more than I could ask for
We took a chance, and we let love inside
We never knew where it was all going
But now we know it was only a matter of time

But now we know it was only a matter of time
