You Are
Vallejo Lyrics

I've given myself so many times before,
I have put myself out there numerous times, but I have never received anything in return.

I never got any return.
Despite putting myself out there numerous times, I have never received anything in return.

I try not to play with fire,
I try to avoid taking risks or doing things that may lead to negative consequences.

but someone always seems to get burned.
Unfortunately, even when I try to avoid taking risks, someone or something always ends up getting hurt.

And then I get to thinkin' that
At times, I begin to contemplate that

I should just lug it out.
I should isolate myself from others and keep my emotions and thoughts to myself.

A fortress of solitude in my own mind,
I create a mental stronghold where I can retreat to and disconnect from the outside world.

No chance of crashing down, now
I feel invincible and impenetrable in my mental fortress and do not believe that anything can break it down.

Then just like that something blinds my face,
Suddenly, something becomes apparent or understandable to me, and I am surprised by it.

and puts the pieces back into place.
This realization helps me regain clarity and a sense of direction in life.

I saw your vision and it glowed
I saw the way you viewed life, and it radiated positivity and optimism, which was influential to my way of thinking.

As superstitions broke now I know
As my irrational fears and beliefs dissipated, I had a newfound understanding and clarity about life.

You are the one thing in my life
You are the person or thing that is most important to me.

that makes me feel this way inside
You make me feel happy, grateful, and fulfilled deep inside.

You light the way when I can't see.
You guide me and give me direction in life, even during times of uncertainty and difficulty.

You make me strong when I don't believe,
You give me the strength and encouragement to push through tough situations, even when I don't believe in myself.

Tell me what to do right at the start,
Guide me on what to do from the onset of this journey or experience.

to not let anything out there tear us apart.
Let us take the necessary steps to avoid any external forces that could cause a rift between us.

Something tells me that I'll never find better than this.
I feel that I have found the best possible person or thing, and it will be difficult to find better.

It's funny how it all just started with a drink and a little kiss
The origin of our relationship began in a seemingly insignificant way.

But something will not let you go
There is something about you that is difficult for me to forget, ignore or give up on.

out of my mind when I'm all alone.
You occupy my thoughts when I am alone, and I cannot stop thinking about you.

That something had me all along,
There was something about you that captivated and held me from the beginning.

that something in you makes me strong.
There are qualities you possess that make me feel confident, capable, and empowered.

It seems like it's been so long
It feels like a long time ago.

since I've been rollin'on
since I have been moving on or making progress in life.

but no matter baby
Nonetheless, whatever happens, or whatever the situation, it does not change my feelings for you.

And just when I think that I've done it all
I believe that I have accomplished everything and there is nothing more to achieve.

you come along, oh yeah ...
But then, you come into my life and show me that there is more to life than what I thought.

I can't let you go (You are, you are)
I do not want to lose you, and I am struggling to let you go.

No (You are, you are)
There is no other option than for you to be my everything.

Ahh huh (You are, you are)
Indeed, you are the one.

My only thing
You are my everything; nothing else matters.

Only thing
Nothing else comes close to your importance in my life.
