I've been crushed like paper
  I've been washed like rain
  I've been scared of sleeping
  In case I wake up the same
    I've been broken and battered
  I've been lost in my home
  I've been cryin' a river
  I've been cold as a stone
    But falling into you
  It carries me far enough away
  And everything you do
  It lightens up my brighter side of day
    I just hope that the wind
  Doesn't blow you away
  I've been left unattended
  I've been thrown like a ball
    I've been rolled with the punches
  And I didn't feel a thing at all
  I've been crossed by the wires
  I've been blinded by the light
    I've been burnt by the fire
  I've been kept out of sight
