I was playing in the mud
Until I found a rose
I was somewhere out at sea
'Til the light from the lighthouse glowed

I owe you more than the money
I owe you more than my life
I was hanging from a thread
Until you cut me loose
I would run from noise and light
'til you shook me and I came to

I owe you more than the money
I owe you more than my life
I never told you
You scared off the vultures
I never told you
You scared off the ghosts
Living in my head
That lay lonely in the dirt
That lay lonely in the dirt
Until I found a rose

I was fighting tooth and nail
Until you found me bleeding
I was animal and caged
'til you broke in and set me free
I owe you more than the money
I owe you more than my life
I never told you
You scared off the vultures
I never told you
You scared off the ghosts
Living in my head
That lay lonely in the dirt
That lay lonely in the dirt
Until I found a rose
