Lyrics
Verse
Like a photograph I hold onto
Like a dream I can see your face
I know we can't go back I don't want to
We are both in a better place
Pre-Chorus
But you changed me
And you saved me
In every way I could need saving
Girl, it's true
Chorus
And thanks to you
I've come a long way
You loved me through
The doubt and heartache
And your strength still gives me strength
'Cause you could see
The best in me
Verse
Like a ray of light you are shining
Like a star you still guide my way
Caught in the darkest night I don't mind it
I can hear you whispering my name
Pre-Chorus
'Cause you changed me
And you saved me
In every way I could need saving
Yes, it's true
Chorus
And thanks to you
I've come a long way
You loved me through
The doubt and heartache
And your strength still gives me strength
'Cause you could see
The best in me
Bridge
And you touched me
Won't forget the way you loved me
All the memories we made
And I miss you
But I hope you know I'm with you
I'm never far
I'm never far from you
Chorus
And thanks to you
I've come a long way
You loved me through
The doubt and heartache
And your strength still gives me strength
'Cause you could see
The best in me
