I said hello I think I'm broken
And though I was only joking
It took me by surprise when you agreed.

I was trying to be clever 
For the life of me I never 
Would have guessed how far the simple truth would lead.

You knew all my lines
You knew all my tricks
You knew how to heal that pain no medicine can fix

And I bless the day I met you
And I thank God that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on
And the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together
And the bad news is you're gone.

Looking back it's still surprising
I was sinking you were rising
And with a look you caught me in mid air.

Now I know God has his reasons 
But sometimes it's hard to see them
I lie awake and find that you're not there.

You found hope in hopeless
You made crazy sane
You became the missing link that helped me break my chains.

And I bless the day I met you
And I thank God that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on
And the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together
And the bad news is you're gone.
Umm umm
Ohh ohh you're gone
Ohhh you're gone!
