Catalyst

So here I sit as I am
In the place we began
It all feels just like a dream
Can't tell the voices apart
In my head and my heart
When they're both screaming the same thing at me

That I am better off for having only known you for a while
Then to have never even known you once before
So I bandage up the broken parts and suffer with a smile
Because that something that I used to lack
Will always keep me coming back for more

So here I am as I'll be
In the place you left me
It seems that so much has changed
Things haven't turned out the way
That I'd planned, it's okay
I've got no reason to sit and complain

Still, if you should turn and walk away from everything we had
You won't have to say goodbye before you go
No, no, not another second will be wasted looking back
Because in all the things that we've been through
I finally learned enough from you to know

I may seem a little worse for the wear
But I'm a better man because of this
And I thank you, oh, I thank you
I found the purpose to an unanswered prayer
I found redemption in the catalyst
And I thank you, oh, I thank you
For opening my eyes

I am better off for having only known you for a while
Then to have never even known you once before
Stil I'll bandage up the broken parts and suffer with a smile
Because that something that I used to lack
will always keep me coming back for more

I may seem a little worse for the wear
But I'm a better man because of this
And I thank you, oh, I thank you
I found the purpose to an unanswered prayer
I found salvation in a single kiss
And I thank you, oh, I thank you

I may seem a little hollow at times
But there's a part of me that still exists
And I thank you, oh, I thank you
I found the meaning in a meaningless life
And changed forever by the catalyst
And I thank you, oh, I thank you
