At last we took our chance
delved into life's little dance
Without worry or even a care
I finally did what I couldn't dare

Started a fire oh so bright
with you in my arms that loving night
Nothing between us could ever go wrong
took to many years to come along

The one I'd wanted forever and ever
grew the balls, and switched the lever
Threw it in gear and away we went
swearing to myself she was heaven sent

Found out the hard way, how right I really was
for everything that happened, it wasn't just because
I'd spent years stuck in repression
my fire being fueled by my own depression

So I took my issues out on you and I'm sorry love
pushed you away, or did I shove
Never realized what had been going on
as a bridge between us I did spawn

And today, we are world's apart
although y'all will always have my heart
For truth be told, when true love takes its toll
it sure can leave a deep-ass hole

Wish I had knew who I was supposed to be
when all you wanted was the real me
Not all the bullshit, as you did see
I've finally grew up into a man thanks to thee
