Answer
how can it be you received the drunken scream
I aimed at God from rock bottom in January or
February of '99?
I forget the date
I forget the details
I only know there was wine
and vodka
and darkness
and a broken girl begging
for some kind of affirmation
from supernatural sources
last night you gave me the answer
you spoke to the broken me
lent me some light
when you told me
I Love The You
You Are Right Now
I don't know how
that can be true
but I love you
for saying it
and meaning it
and I'm winging it
but I want to show you
my gratitude
everyday
in a million ways
I may have nothing to prove
but I want to improve for you
give you the goodest girl
who stopped believing
only long enough
to start
receiving.
