v.1
You were a rock and an island
Sitting alone in your room.
You were joyful on the outside,
On the inside filled with gloom.
You had buried your emotions
In the darkness you carried inside
Until I became your conscience
And wouldn't let you hide.
Ch.
Now you've given your heart to another
She never knew your pain.
She never shared your heartaches
Or prayed to break your chain.
If you make her a good husband,
You can take this to the bank:
She may never know it,
But she has me to thank.
v.2
So many things that you needed,
I prayed to God that you'd find.
You were one step short of dying,
But I helped you change your mind.
You had lost your inspiration
Till I sent you the opening line.
The resulting conflagration
Stole you from being mine.
Ch.
Bridge
She's building on my broken dreams,
Though I don't hold her to blame.
Since I don't get my heart's desire,
Guess I'll settle for some fame.
Ch. & Tag
Honey, she may never know it,
But she has me to thank.
Yeah, she has me to thank.
