Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In order to feel the joy, I had to go through the pain
I, lost track of tears I cried through the years
Even convinced myself that I was the one to blame
All this searchin',
Left my broken
Had to pick up the pieces
Now I'm so glad,
To be with you
Had a breakthrough
Finally know how it feels
To be loved by, somebody

Tear down the all wall around my heart,
Leave myself open for love
And I'm so happy I did it because
