"Broken"

When they played that damn song all the time on the radio

Let me be who I really am
Though I can not undo the wrong
I want to treat you right
And within the storm,
Bring out the calm.

Wear down your defense
Shut off the alarms
Show you a place you can be safe
nestled within my arms

For all those times you felt upset
Or felt utterly betrayed
Maybe a little pissed off
Or even shockingly dismayed

For all the shit that has gone down
Or when you believe we're all the same
Let me be the one to hold you high
And little by little steal your pain

For your not yet broken
And that is not our song
Because only in the loveliest of sonnets
Does your name belong

I love the song 'Broken' (both versions) and man!, do I wish someone would write like that for me.
