One Day

To give up one's dreams, to give up all you want in life
Before it consumes you
To take a shelter and run into a stranger's arms
Leaving all that's familiar
The pain will run as deep as I want it to go
I finally found within myself that I knew nothing at all

One day, last year, I thought that I conquered the world
One day, last year, I knew the real world inside out
Nothing could stop me, not even you
But now look at me
I've conquered more than just the world

Before we met, I'd been crushed a thousand ways
Forgot my own name
Behind the limelight, kindness is all you gave to me
I thank you for your dignity
Caught up in the rat race I stopped to feel your hand
I think I finally know how it feels to be loved for who I am

One day, last year, I thought that I conquered the world
One day, last year, I knew the real world inside out
Nothing could stop me, not even you
But now look at me
I've conquered more than just the world
