Jalisa Faye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mis-used
I was mistreated
Abused
I needed healing
But nobody knew it
I was worn out
I didn't think I'd make it. no
I needed a lifeline
But i didn't know where it was coming from
But, that's when you came, and
You found me, and you saved me
You saved me from my lowest of lows, when I was hopeless
You found me and sustained me
With you am not the same, I'm so glad You found me
You found me yea yeah... ooooh
You said let's walk, I said okay
You said I'll show, show you the way
But I said I got it
And you were like fine, I'll let you go get up
I started walking, all by myself... yooooh
Thought I was good, didn't need no help... yoooh
Until I stumbled
And down, down on my knees I fell
But that's when you came and
That's when you came a _ a _ and
You found me and you saved me
You saved me from my lowest of lows when I was hopeless
You found me and sustained me
With you am not the same, I'm so glad
You came and found me, e -yea, e -yea
You saved me... yeah
You saved me from my lowest of lows when I was hopeless
You found me and sustained me... yea
With you am not the same, I'm so glad you found me... yeah
Oh Oh. Oh Uh Oh Oh Yeah
I'm so glad you found me Lord!
Oh Oh
You could have easily passed me by Lord
But you didn't. no...
I don't wanna make another move without you
Don't wanna say another word without you
Don't wanna take another breath without you, without you... say...
You found me and you saved me
You saved me from my lowest of lows when I was hopeless
You found me and sustained me
With you am not the same
I'm so glad You found me
Yea Yea Yeah
Oh Lord you didn't leave me like I was
Oh, you found me Lord, I should have been dead and gone
Lord, I should have lost my mind
But am so glad you found me...
