Before I Get Too Bad

The pain I've felt so long
Could never have been
Without reason
Every bit of it could never be wrong
Because it's taught me what
To really say and how to mean it
You're so good I can't believe my eyes
I can't understand how you came to be
You've made me thankful for all the lies
I ever had to believe
And made me thank God you came to me
Every untruth I was told
Has given me strength to see what is good
And to know how to hold
Onto what I should
