of my life
And maybe I haven't moved on since that
night

12:51
Krissy and Ericka

Cause it's 12:51 and I thought my feelings

were gone
But I'm lying on my bed, thinking of you
again
And the moon shines so bright, but I gotta
dry these tears tonight
Cause you're moving on and I'm not that
strong to hold on any longer

Scrolling through my cell phone for the

20th time today
Reading that text you sent me again
Though I memorized it anyway

As the sky outside gets brighter

And my eyes begin to tire
I'm slowly drowning
In memories of him

It was in afternoon in December

When it reminded you of the day
When we bumped into each other
But you didn't say hi cause I looked away

And I know it shouldn't matter

As my heart begins to shatter
I'm left to wonder
Just how it should have been... yeah...

And maybe that was the biggest mistake

of my life
And maybe I haven't moved on since that
night

12:51 and I thought my feelings were

gone
But I'm lying on my bed, I'm not thinking
of you again
And the moon shines so bright, but I gotta
dry \\\\\\\\these tears tonight
Cause you're moving on and I'm not that
strong to hold on

Cause it's 12:51 and I thought my feelings

were gone
But I'm lying on my bed, thinking of you
again
And the moon shines so bright, but I gotta
dry these tears tonight
Cause you're moving on and I'm not that
strong to hold on any longer
Oh oh oh oh...
Then I saw you with her
Didn't think you'd find another
And my world just seemed to crash
Shouldn't have thought that this would
last

And maybe that was the biggest mistake

Cause I'll prove you wrong that I can move

on through this song
So much stronger

Ahhhm
Mhhh
Oh yeah
I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache would
not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life
Thank God I found you
(Yeah yeah)
I was lost without you
(I was lost)
My every wish and every dream
(Mmmmh)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you

Oh yeah
Whoaaaaaa

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't
do (oh no)
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
'Cause without you beside me I can't
survive
Don't wanna try
(I don't wanna try)
If you keeping me warm each and every
night
I'll be allright (be allright)
'Cause I need you in my life
Ooooh
Thank God I found you

My every wish and every dream

Completed my whole life (completed)

('Cause baby I'm so thankful I found
you)
And I'm so thankful I found you
Oooooh
(See)
See I was so desolate before you came
to me
Looking back (looking back)
I guess it shows that we were destined
To shine over the rain to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel

This way
(This way)
Thank God I found you
(Yeah yeah)
I was lost without you
(Lost without you baby)
My every wish and every dream
(And every dream)
Somehow became reality
Oooooooh
When you brought the sunlight
(Brought the light)
Completed my whole life
(My whole life)
I'm overwhelmed with graditude
See baby I'm so thankful I found you
Oooooooh
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with graditude

My baby I'm so thankful I found
You

God Gave Me You

Bryan White
For all the times I felt cheated, I
complained
You know how I love to complain
For all the wrongs I repeated, though
I was to blame
I still cursed that rain
I didn't have a prayer, didn't have a
clue
Then out of the blue
God gave me you to show me what's

real
There's more to life than just how I
feel
And all that I'm worth is right before
my eyes

my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't
know why (didn't know why)
Now I do (I finally do), 'cause God
gave me you (God gave me You)

And all that I live for though I didn't

know why
now I do, 'cause God gave me you

God gave me you

For all the times I wore myself pity

like a favorite shirt
All wrapped up in that hurt
For every glass I saw, I saw half
empty
Now it overflows like a river through
my soul
From every doubt I had, I'm finally
free
I truly believe
God gave me you to show me what's
real
There's more to life than just how I
feel
And all that I'm worth is right before
my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't
know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you
In your arms I'm someone new
With ever tender kiss from you
Oh must confess
I've been blessed
God gave me you to show me what's
real
There's more to life than just how I
feel
And all that I'm worth is right before
