When I was something like eight or nine
I had misconceptions about how much time
It takes to become someone who's not unkind
To their neighbors, their family, their friends and their mind
I wouldn't be here if not for you
I wouldn't be here if not for you
When I was something like twenty-two
I misrepresented my feelings for you
And so many others who could have been true
If I painted my body more colors than blue
'Cause I wouldn't be here if not for you
I wouldn't be here if not for you
Someday I hope that I'll be thirty-eight
And shatter these mirrors all covered in hate
I'll turn them to windows, I won't be afraid
Of outside, or inside, or beside your face
'Cause I wouldn't be here if not for you
I wouldn't be here if not for you
I wouldn't be here if not for you
I wouldn't be here if not for you
When I was someone like you are now
I had no direction, I had no way how
How to make the corrections and find my way out
But you came and you found me and I'll find you now
I'll find you now
