I remember when we met
You took me by surprise and I just couldn't let
You be the one that got away
'Cause every person that we meet
Presents an opportunity
To put our best and worst parts on display
And I hid so much of myself from you
So you saw the best parts shining through
The cracks that others left along the way
The time I let the worst slip out
You didn't seem to care about
The darkness that had clouded all my days
I remember how you called me Sunshine
I never knew that I could burn so bright
And even though we crossed some lines
What we had was pure and right
Well you brought out the best in me
But what about the rest of me?
What'll happen when you see
The rest of me?
For you I spent six whole months sober
'Cause you made life worth starting over
But I never would've done it just for me
'Cause I never saw the light at the end
Until you showed me how to mend
The tunnels where I had dug too deep
The catacombs were caving in and
Though my hope was wearing thin
You were light and helped me finally see
You helped me find a way to the surface
And guided me to a sense of purpose
And when I spoke you took me honestly
I remember how you called me Sunshine
I never knew that I could burn so bright
And even though we crossed some lines
What we had was pure and right
Well you brought out the best in me
But what about the rest of me?
What'll happen when you see
The rest of me?
These days I don't see your light anymore
But I hope that you still illuminate those caves and rocky shores
For all those who pass by your door
Just wish that I could see your light once more
Just wish that I could see your light once more
Just wish that I could see your light once more
