I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight

Verse 1
There's many obstacles that one must face
Some are hard while others are simple
There came a time when I would just breakdown
Sometimes my sadness turned into anger
I blamed everyone for all the troubles I had
But then my anger turned back into sadness

Verse 2
Everything around me is moving at a fast pace
I look into the mirror and I can't recognize my own face
Maybe if I opened my eyes wider I could see
I always paid attention to what others thought of me
Living up to their expectations were important
And if I failed, I would feel completely worthless

Verse 3
I never thought highly of myself
And if I did, I don't know what I'd be proud of
Congratulating myself for a job well done is what I don't do
If only I had the chance to turn back time
I would have changed almost everything that has happened
But since I can't, I must try to live with myself

Bridge 1
If you hadn't showed up
Things would have been different
I was looking for any easy way out
I didn't have the courage to face another day

Bridge 2
You're the one who saved my life
And for some reason I'm happier

Chorus
I'm glad you're here with me tonight
I don't know what I'd do if I was alone
Being able to relate to me is what you've done
There's no words that could express my gratitude for you
