Mouthful of Love

Mouthful of Love

Verse 1
I remember the days when my body was empty
It was like a broken down refrigerator
Anything placed inside of it would become rotten
I was losing a lot of weight
As a result, I was getting weaker
Getting out of bed was such a struggle
From time to time, I would collapse from dehydration
Since you met me and came into my life
I have been gaining strength
Looking back at myself, I cannot believe that I lived that way

Verse 2
Your generosity is like breakfast
It provides me with energy
I am able to share with others
And because of that, I realize that many people were just like me
What they needed was a home cooked meal
Whatever they ate was not good enough
And if no one showed that they cared
They would feel more alone

Bridge
Your compassion is like dinner
It gives me a sense of belonging
I am able to provide empathy
I am able to be more understanding
All the love that you have shown to me
Fuels me up with the desire to live every day
You saved my life, I'm thanking you for that
I will use what I learned to save someone else

Chorus
I am chewing on a mouthful of love
It's the best kind I've ever tasted
I was starving for affection
You have satisfied my hunger
I am chewing on a mouthful of love
I never knew it could be this fulfilling
My stomach was always growling
It no longer does because you fed me
