Wow
I had a whole thing I was gonna say, but you kinda-
I just can say this, that tonight is, um, an important night for me
And um, I'm just so glad that you're here
I'm so glad to be anywhere
But my favorite place to be is with you, 'cause you're my family
And um, some of you have been with me since the beginning
And some of you are here for the first time tonight
And it's about freaking time
So, this next song was written by my momma
What a great songwriter she is, you know
I remember when this song came out, I was in a really bad relationship
Have you ever loved someone so much you thought it would kill you? Yeah
Been there, done that
And so this song pretty much sums up where I was
That picture of that young girl back there, I have so much I wanna tell her
But I will say this, it was, um, it was not easy to heal from that
But it helped me sing better
So, I've learned how to turn my pain into purpose
I see you out there, I see your sign
Oh, keeper of the gates of wisdom
Please let me in
'Cause I just can't go through
Another heartache again
Pretty lies and alibis
How could I be so blind?
Now all alone and scared I stand
I'm slowly going out of my mind
'Cause he was my strongest weakness
And I surrendered heart and soul
It's gonna be a long, long time
'Til I regain control
I'm still a prisoner
Held captive by his memory
And he was my strongest weakness
And I'm afraid he'll always be
Well, I gave my faithful heart to someone
Who couldn't understand
How he held my little world
In the palm of his hand
Now he's gone and life goes on
So if this pain will ever end
Will I be afraid, oh, to risk it all
And ever fall in love again?
'Cause he was my strongest weakness
And I surrendered heart and soul
It's gonna be a long, long time
'Til I regain control
I'm still a prisoner
Held captive by his memory
And he was my strongest weakness
And I'm afraid he'll always be
He was my strongest weakness
And I'm afraid he'll always be
Hm-hm-hm
