Only Because of Your Love

They told you to beware
 They said that together we'd go nowhere
 They say my life had been limited to what I came from
 But look at me now, look what I've become

 You still embraced me and opened your heart 
 Guess you knew you could rebuild the girl the world tore apart
 Along the journey you've known you could keep me strong
 And the whole way there we're writin' our own love song

 They told you to beware
 They said that together we'd go nowhere
 They say my life had been limited to what I came from
 But look at me now, look what I've become
 Only because of your love
 You lift me up as I stumble and fall
 Your love carries me when I can only crawl
 
 I came to you as a lost and broken girl
 Too scared to trust a soul in the world
 I was shy and confused
 In search only of myself 
 But look at me now, look what I've become
 Only because of your love
 You lift me up as I stumble and fall
 Your love carries me when I can only crawl

 God knows lovin' a lineman can sometimes be lonely and cold
 Yet waitin' here with just your memory to keep me warm never grows old
 You tear down those walls one nail at a time
 You show me who I can be
 You light up my heart for the world to see
 
 Look at me now, look what I've become
 Only because of your love
