Weighed down, eyes to the ground Struck numb, deaf to a sound Couldn't see a face in front of me That's how I felt before love came to me Timid and scared, a broken wing in the air Calloused and bruised, tired and used Lost and scattered, it doesn't really matter That's how I felt before love came to me You don't have to see to believe You don't have to rhyme to sing You don't have to speak to lie You don't have to walk away to say good-bye Pitch black, mind in the mud A sacred rose, buried in the flood A peasant with no king, a lover with no ring That's how I felt before love came to me A child alone, home address unknown A soldier on the run, courage tied to a stone I couldn't see the good inside of me That's how I felt before love came to me
