How to love someone

The busy street where lights were dim
did not stop me from seeing him.
The way he treated you and left you in the cold.
He did you wrong. He had no right.
He let you down. Without a fight,
you watched him walk away with the soul that you had sold.

I ran to you. I saw you cry
while other people passed you by.
I wiped your tear-stung eyes and said,

“Hold my hand. Don’t let go of me.
Forget the past, it never lasts.
Don’t look back and let me show you
how to love someone.”

Have what it take to make things right.
Make you feel safe in long, dark nights.
Can always count on me to catch you when you fall.
I’ll be your footprints in the sand.
I’ll do just anything I can.
If I had everything, I’d give it all.

Broke into a million pieces
for all the wrong reasons.
Gonna build you up again.

Hold my hand. Don’t let go of me.
Forget the past, it never lasts.
Don’t look back and let me show you
how to love someone.

I’ll cry your tears for you.
I’ll steal your pain from you too.

Hold my hand. Don’t let go of me.
Forget the past, it never lasts.
Don’t look back and let me show you
how to love someone.

Hold my hand. Don’t let go of me.
Forget the past, it never lasts.
Don’t look back and let me show you
how to love someone.
