As I walked across the stage from day to day
I played a lot of parts along the way
I wrote a script that said my purpose with each line
Took a cue to laugh and cry at the right time
But once in my life, my feelings felt free
From the point in my mind where I’m nothing but me
When I stood with you beyond my pride,
Stripped to my soul, naked inside
When I said I love you
(Love you ooh ooh ooh)
When I said I love you
(Love you ooh ooh ooh)
[[Instrumental]]
The puppet for the finer things until you came and cut the strings
The final act complete my costume crumble at my feet
For once in my life, my feelings felt free
From the point in my mind where I’m nothing but me
When I stood with you beyond my pride,
Stripped to my soul, naked inside
When I said I love you
(When I said I love you)
When I said I love you
(When I said I love you)
I loved you I love you
(When I said I love you)
When I said I love you
(When I said I love you)
I love you I love you
(When I said I love you)
When I said I love you
(When I said I love you)
[Repeat and fade…]
