I've been crushed like paper
I've been washed like rain

I've been scared of sleeping
In case I wake up the same


I've been broken and battered
I've been lost in my home
I've been cryin' a river

I've been cold as a stone

But falling into you

It carries me far enough away
And everything you do
It lightens up my darker side of day


I just hope that the wind
Doesn't blow you away

I've been left unattended
I've been thrown like a ball


I've been rolled with the punches
And I didn't feel a thing at all
I've been crossed by the wires

I've been blinded by the light

I've been burnt by the fire

I've been kept out of sight
