I broke in Houston, Texas, couldn't get off the sofa
The thing about depression, you think your life is over
When I was all alone, ah, you came and changed how I feel (Be good now)
Only you understand me, you fill me up completely
And when I'm self-destructive, you make me feel so pretty
You always pull me closer to let me know that it's real, ah
When, when I look at you
Baby, I (I) get overjoyed
I feel it inside (Deep)
Finally, I'm happy to be (Be, be, be)
'Cause I've got love (Love) with you, baby
I figured out (Why, why) why I'm smiling
Nothing can stop me
Finally, I'm happy to be (Be, be, be)
I wanna thank you for taking me as I am
Need you to know that I'm your number one fan
I wanna give you, give you, give you my heart
You see the silver lining when I'm in the trenches
You stand beside me with your patience and forgiveness
I wanna give you, give you, give you my heart, ooh
When, when I look at you
Baby, I (I) get overjoyed
I feel it inside (Deep)
Finally, I'm happy to be (Be, be, be)
'Cause I've got love (Love) with you, baby
I figured out (Why, why) why I'm smiling
Nothing can stop me
Finally, I'm happy to be (Be, be, be)
Baby, I, I could cry
Can I fall in your arms and just fly? (La-la-la)
When, when I look at you (La-la-la)
Baby, I (I) get overjoyed (La-la-la)
I feel it inside (Deep)
Finally, I'm happy to be (La, be, be, be; that's why I love you, baby)
'Cause I've got love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, love) with you, baby
I figured out (La-la-la, why, why) why I'm smiling
Nothing can stop me (La-la-la)
Finally, I'm happy to be (La, be, be, be)
'Cause I've got love, uh (La-la-la)
I've got love, yeah (La-la-la)
Got love, love, love, love, love, love (La-la-la, la)
Love, love, love, love, love
