I was taught early on
That love could only be conditional
So I found it hard to believe
That there could be someone as selfless as you
You didn't run away
From all my pain
Instead you came with open arms
So tell my why, why I deserve a love like this?
Tell me why the pieces that I've always missed
Are the same shape as the ones you've given me?
It almost feels like it's too good to be
Ask me why, I'm changing all the plans I made
Ask me why, I'll tell you you're the reason babe
No shooting stars for me, I got my wish
'Cause I have never felt a love like this
I grew up on my own
No one there for me to call on the phone
Had to build my heart out of stone
You're the only person that I've ever called home
You could have up and left, like all the rest
Instead you stayed here in my arms
So tell my why, why I deserve a love like this?
Tell me why the pieces that I've always missed
Are the same shape as the ones you've given me?
It almost feels like it's too good to be
Ask me why, I'm changing all the plans I made
Ask me why, I'll tell you you're the reason babe
No shooting stars for me, I got my wish
'Cause I have never felt a love like this
