lyrics

I didn't think I'd ever be someone
I never knew there was a place for me
You are the one that fixed my broken wings
And if you don't already know by now
Baby you're the reason that I'm me

For every minute that I'm incomplete
You picked my pieces out from under me
I hope you're happy with the way I am
Baby you're the reason that I'm me

Soft spoken in her own way
She left me standing in the doorway
Got me trippin’ but it's OK
You're gonna love me when it's Friday

You're not the type to go for anybody
I'm making sure I'll be your somebody
This game was not designed for everybody

I didn't think I'd ever be someone
I never knew there was a place for me
You are the one that fixed my broken wings
And if you don't already know by now
Baby you're the reason that I'm me

For every minute that I'm incomplete
You picked my pieces out from under me
I hope you're happy with the way I am
Baby you're the reason that I'm me

The tension here is like a hurricane
Before it rips you from the picture frame
A waking dream stood right in front of me
I swear to you it felt like destiny

This ain't no temporary love
That bright red flame from up above
Release your mind and let it be
Believe me

I didn't think I'd ever be someone
I never knew there was a place for me
You are the one that fixed my broken wings
And if you don't already know by now
Baby you're the reason that I'm me

For every minute that I'm incomplete
You picked my pieces out from under me
I hope you're happy with the way I am
Baby you're the reason that I'm me
Baby you're the reason that I'm me
Baby you're the reason that I'm me
Baby you're the reason that I'm me
