I searched you out, I felt your love was strong,
something whispered your name, you saved my life.
I knew our fling would not last long,
but I was momentarily free from strife.
You tore me apart, sugared me up the same,
I knew you were mine, to another, never turn,
In that little t-shirt, I put my friends to shame,
but standing at the gates of hell, I had so much to learn.

Author notes
Each phrase is inspired by a different song. In order...
Runnin' Down a Dream, Breakdown,
Gloria, Saving Grace,
MJ last dance,
Free Fallin'/You don't know how it feels,
You wreck me baby, honeybee,
Here comes my girl, Listen to her heart,
American Girl, Even the losers,
I wont back down, Learning to fly/Into the great wide open.
