Lyrics: Paula Cole. Courage. Until I Met You.

Crumbling down, My life,
All these lies, I put on a pedestal.
Walking around, Broken down shoes,
Broken down vows, My same broken heart.
And I know the silence is good for me. And I know how to be alone.
And I know I?m trying to wait this out. And I know, I gotta go.
Then our eyes meet ?cross the room, And I feel like I?m fl ying outside myself.
I can?t catch my breath, I just feel something switch,
Can?t explain myself.
I thought I was happy, Until I met you.
I see a house, There?s a child,
Alone on a swing, Where?s his mother been?
She?s in the back, Hiding her tears,
Making it work, The way it?s worked for a thousand years.
I don?t know why I walk through the same charade,
I don?t know what I?m feeling right now,
But I know I?m tired of the same old tears,
And I know something?s gotta change.
Then our eyes meet cross the room, And I feel like I?m fl ying outside myself.

I can?t catch my breath, I just feel something switch,
Can?t explain myself.
I don?t know why I walk through the same charade,
I don?t know what I?m feeling right now,
But I know I?m tired of the same old tears,
But I know I gotta go.
Then our eyes meet cross the room, And I feel like I?m fl ying outside myself.
I can?t catch my breath, I just feel something switch,
Can?t explain myself.
We meet cross the room, And I feel like I?m fl ying outside myself.
I can?t catch my breath, I just feel something switch,
Can?t explain myself.
I thought I was happy, Until I met you.
Until I met you. (Something inside of me tells me to change my life)
Until I met you. (Something inside of me tells me to fl y)
And now I?ve met you.
