did you grow up like me?

     Dreaming of the day you would meet that "special someone"

         Imagining that, just like everyone said, "the songs would make sense"

             Hoping with that first kiss there would come "a spark"

                 Planning "a fairy tale wedding"

 

did you worry like me?

    Wondering if "you could ever be good enough"

        Hardening your heart because "staying soft hurts too much"

            Wishing you were one of those people who "just let go"

                 Crying alone without someone "who understood"

 

were you surprised like me?

     That when I finally met you, it wasn't those things that really mattered

         The songs made sense

             There was a spark

                 We planned

     You told me I was more than enough

         You protected my soft heart

             You held on so I could let go

                 You understood

 

Better than all those things

Better than anyone ever told me

 

You finally made me understand what it meant

To really be heard
