I'VE BEEN THERE

I see in your eyes a very hurt soul
Who's lost with no one to trust
You've been in search of someone to love
To help mend your heart of dust

Each time you thought you found someone
They turned out to be all wrong
They misused your trust, mistreated your love
Then left you more weak than strong

Your roads are blocked, your lights are out
The walls you've built are strong
You've put a padlock on your heart
You're where you think you should be

But I can still see a little flame
Just yearning to be fanned
The love it holds within itself
Needs tending by gentle hands

All I ask is just one chance
I've been there too you see
I never thought I'd find someone
That's been hurt the same as me
