You Were It - Willie Nelson

You were it

You’re the one, the only one who understood it all

And when we fought out loud

You’d be the one who would make me feel so small

You could kill

You could hurt

You could bring out the worst in everyone you knew

But no one could ever bring the worst out of you

And I am fine

All the pain is gone

I once had a heart

Now I have a song

And you were sly

You were fast

You were built to last

And you lasted 'til the end

And I would fight

I would cry and lay down and die

And then get up again
