You had my heart...you were my soul...
You were the air I breathed
And everything beautiful
You were my beginning
But chose to be my ending
When you left and tore my dreams apart
Your leaving I mistook
Thought no one could ever love me the way I loved you
Just because I plainly wasn't good enough for you
I didn't know that
Out of the ruins, out of
The one you left behind
You gave me a new beginning
That out of the pain, you showed me truth
Out of your leaving, you gave me hope
Out of the loneliness and the lack of you,
You gave me a chance to live my life
Oh, I was given the world
When you faded from my side
Then I was free; Free to see so much beauty
Much more than what I saw in you
Free to fulfill what I can be
That was wasted when I was confined in you
To stand alone when I used to
Live because of you
Your leaving took away the fear of losing you
As well as the thinking that
Your loving me was all I needed to know
I thought I never could imagine life without you
But now I know better…there is a life
Even after you
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW
