I only thought that we would be friends
I never thought that I could love again
Spent years learning how to keep the world outside
But day by day, you chipped away
The wall I hid behind

I always thought that if we were friends
You'd see my heart and your own might start to bend
I knew I'd be waiting, that I couldn't move too fast
That you'd run away, but I'm here to stay
Show you how a love should last

Then you took my heart
Yeah, you took my heart
Right from the start
Yeah, you took my heart

Left you in the dark each time I got too close
Slip away from your light and leave like a ghost
Then you'd appear like a dream back to my mind
Your heart would call, to take the fall
And leave my fears behind

I can't recall how it was before you came
One thing's for sure, I will never be the same
We'll talk all the time can, all the joy and all the pain
I was so alone, but your love has shown me
There's sun beyond the rain

Then you took my heart
Yeah, you took my heart
Right from the start
Yeah, you took my heart
