I Lost Myself In Your Words
Stefanie Padgett  2004

Lights shining down and a voice lifted high
I lost myself in your words
You strummed your guitar late into the night
Thoughts for all to be heard

You played there with all to know
That night you bared your naked soul
I didn’t know what I’d been missing
Until the moment I began to listen

You sang a song of pain
Sang a song of love
It was a song about freedom
I had never known

You sang a song of happiness
Sang a song of strife
It was a song about emptiness
You sang my life

I had to have you in my everyday
Risked all I’d ever known
‘cause only you knew the way
to fly where I’d never flown

And in those weeks you took me
To places I’d only dreamed
I never knew I could feel so free
Or so it seemed

We lived a song of pain
Lived a song of love
It was a song about freedom
I had never known

We lived a song of happiness
Lived a song of strife
We lived a song of emptiness
We lived my life

The thing you taught me
What I heard
It’s not about me
I didn’t deserve

My life of pain
Your life of love
Your life of freedom
I’d never known

Your life of happiness
Mine was of strife
Your song of emptiness 
That was my life

I lost myself in your words
