Somebody told me I'd be fine,
Shook her head, smiled, and wiped off mine.
And so I saw the sight of strength, heard the sounds of healing.
I learned to read it like a sign;
She was beside me, I was fine.

Somebody told me it's alright,
Each time a nightmare wrecked my night.
Then held me close, but not too tight, till dreaming came upon me.
Sometimes I think about those nights
Safe in her arms, where I took flight.

And there were times I swore
That our relation was a curse.
And there were times that she
Was just the worse, and angrily,
We both crashed down, forgiveness helped me see
A grain of comedy in every tragedy.

Somebody showed me with her soul
Lack of perfection makes us whole.

And when my dream arrived,
She let me go for my desires.
She let me go so gently,
Told me I would be ok,
Now I for her can do the same
Though I can't stop the tears that fall into my smile today.

I was a seed, now I'm a rose
Stronger than any wind that blows.
And I'll go on, for I have always
More to give, and this I know, 'cause
Somebody told me so.
