I'd like to take this time to thank you...
Thank you for all you think you've done.
For all the love or hell you gave me...
You know who you are and know which one.

I'd like to take this time to thank you...
Thank you for being as you are.
Thank you for seeing yourself in me.
Thanks for all the kisses and the scars.

I know that you only did
the best that I could do.
I'd like to take this time
to thank you.

I'd like to take this time to thank you...
For whatever role you think you play.
I'm grateful for the times you stood before me.
I'm thankful for the times you went away.

Everything you think you took or gave me...
I leave with you to carry on your way.
If there's a prayer that you pray for me...
"Thank you" is all you need to say.

I know that you only did
the best that I could do.
I'd like to take this time
to thank you.

To you, I'm still the way that you last found me.
But, to me, I am not shackled by those chains.
You can search the ruins of this body...
But your eyes will never see what still remains.

Thank you for thinking there's a you there...
and allowing me to be here for the show.
I will never leave you or forsake you.
I is there wherever you may go.

I know that you only did
the best that I could do.
I'd like to take this time
to thank you.

I do believe in saying "thank you" for both the good and the bad because in each scenario there is a gift if we look hard enough.  Enjoyed your "thank you".
