Inside Out

I never meant to get to know you
and when we met, I got it wrong
I didn't even have to show you
But I was weak and you were strong

I thought my very soul was broken
you showed me it was only sprained
and when you put your hand in mine
it alleviated all my pain.

So confused, don't know what to do
Hadn't even seen your face
don't know your name,
But I learned you...

From the inside out
Not the outside in
I saw your soul
Not your clothes and skin
And I will never be the same...
Now, because of you, I want to shout...
I know you from the inside, out.

You shared with me your life in words
and took the time to understand
We were online like a couple nerds
This was nothing like we'd ever planned

Now the hole inside my chest is gone
It's been replaced with something new
The hurt that I depended on,
has vanished.  Now there's only you.

So confused, don't know what to do
Hadn't even seen your face
don't know your name,
But I know you...

From the inside out
Not the outside in
I saw your soul
Not your clothes and skin
And I will never be the same...
Now, because of you, I want to shout...
I love you from the inside, out.
