And Then There Was Me

by Nicole - Aquarius

One of these days....
When the rain stops falling from the sky
And the stars fall down instead,
When the oceans no longer touch the shore and disappear
Along with everything I should've said,
I'll finally open my eyes and see
I'm all alone in the world with no one to blame.
I'll finally realize I let go of the one I shouldn't have
The one who made everything wonderful when they came.

One of these days....
When the world crashes down by my feet
Along with everybody I know,
When there is no one left for me to run to
And I'm staring at the heartaches of tomorrow,
I'll finally turn around and look behind
To the one who was always there.
I'll finally look around and notice no one else
But the one who always promised to love and care.

And then there was me....
With all my troubles and problems laid out
Along with my broken heart for everyone to see,
With my eyes searching for love and forgiveness
And anyone to hold me up and stand by me,
Finally realizing the one thing I should have long ago
But was too oblivious to see what I had.
Finally wanting the one who took care of my loneliness
With an understanding heart and no questions asked.

And then there was me....
With my heart breaking open and even
Hoping you'd see and save me from all this,
With my life no longer in my hand but at my feet
Waiting to see if you'd help me pick up the pieces,
Finally thankful for the one who's been pushed behind
But now encouraging at my side stands.
Finally loving the one the way I always should have
But eternally grateful for my savior giving me another chance
