Tyler Alva

I spent my time trying to get numb
Hiding where the pain came from
A side I never wanted you to see
Even though it was the real me
Wanted to seem in control
Even with a broken soul

You saw through the facade
That I was nothing but flawed
I never understood why
You stayed by my side
You saw through the pride
No matter how hard I tried
No matter how much I lied

I just wanted to be the one to save you
Even though my life was askew
You ended up being the one I looked to
And brought me back from the hell I was going through
You saved me from myself
And did what past loves couldn’t do themselves

You saw through the facade
That I was nothing but flawed
I never understood why
You stayed by my side
You saw through the pride
No matter how hard I tried
No matter how much I lied

I wanted to sit in past pain
Thinking the old me was slain
Killed by being self destructive
But your love became so seductive
You showed me a side of me I thought was gone
Because of you Im able carry on

You saw through the facade
That I was nothing but flawed
I never understood why
You stayed by my side
You saw through the pride
No matter how hard I tried
No matter how much I lied

You became the drug I always craved
This broken heart was saved
I sobered up
I swore off the stuff
Because your love is more than enough
