My life has been less than perfect, and with each passing day I'm starting to see.

That though I've given my best in love, still I wonder if I'll ever find the one for me.

I admit I haven't made all the right decisions, but I've always tried to do what's best.

Pouring my heart into what I believed to be real, only to find it was just another test.

So far I've passed with flying colors, still never scoring high enough.

I've given, and given, until it hurts so badly, yet I don't think I can cry enough.

Is there a true love to rescue me from this storm, and remove this dark cloud of pain?

Will I ever find someone who will give my loving heart shelter from THE RAIN?

Maybe it's never meant to be, and to be alone is my true destiny.

But I'm so afraid of giving up, and letting love get the best of me.

I don't think I'm asking too much, only to get love as equally as I give it.

I no longer want to write about it, this time I want to live it.

The sunshine still eludes me, and that I can't explain.

Lord, can you spare an angel to love me, and give my loving heart shelter from THE RAIN.

How 'bout just have him help ya find somebody who can show you how to dance in the rain?

"But I'm so afraid of giving up, and letting love get the best of me."

I know how you meant this, but hmmmm, think about it - Love should get the best and worst of you and you the best and worst of them, love just takes the blame and gives ya strength, patience, etc. to deal with 'em both

Color me silly, I forgot to say --- Nicely done!
