A pretty face can stay a year or two, Even through the snow fall,
Hoping it stayed one more showed I was a fool, But that’s how much I loved you,
I thought I was nothing, As I stepped outside on that winter night, I didn’t want to carry on, I was going to end it, But just then I saw a light,
It was only a car passing through, Nothing major like you’d expect in this tale, But in that moment, I realised what was true,
If I was nothing, I wouldn’t feel this way, If I was nothing, I wouldn’t still be standing today,
I was the one who almost took it away, But I’m here, I’m something, And I’ll get through another year,
