[Verse 1]
            
At first I was

              
 afraid, I was

 
 petrified
              
Kept thinking 

             
I could never 

              
live without y

   
ou by my side
             
But then I spe

ow you did me 

wrong
           
And I grew str

ong

And I learned how to get along
              
And so you're
