I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know (S)

10^th June 2012 – Jake – Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

In This Moment I thank my Higher Power for Gifts: Before CoDA, I could not make myself heard. Nobody listened to me. Since I joined CoDA, that has changed.  My family and friends listen. Before CoDA, I resented my parents.  I wanted to replace my childhood with a happier one. In recovery, I discovered my powerlessness over others and my past. I came to accept my parents as imperfect humans who tried their best. Before CoDA, it was hard to leave my house. Learning about and attending CoDA meetings expanded my world. Before CoDA, I felt “less than” just about everybody. Now my relationships are with equals. Before CoDA, I wondered if I could ever love someone. Now I know I am capable of a deep love for another. I am so grateful for these gifts. Thank you, Higher Power. Thank you, CoDA.

If I ever leave you, baby
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you
You know I hurt myself as well

Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said, I love you more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

When I wasn't making much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to you, baby
And I never spent a red cent

Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said, I love you more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

Now listen to this
I'm not trying to be, just any kind of man, no I ain't
I'm just trying to be somebody
You can love, trust and understand

I know, I know, I know that I can be
A part of you that no one else could see, yeah
But I gotta hear you say, I got to hear you say
It's alright

I'm only flesh and blood
But I could be anything that you demand
I could be King of everything
Or just a tiny grain of sand, now tell me

Is that anyway for a man to carry on?
Do you think that I want my loved one gone?
I love you more than you'll ever know
I said, "I love you, I love, I love you"
Don't want nobody else but you
