Left home when I was only sweet 16

Chasing blind love and a bunch of broken dreams
Don't know how I thought I'd be a queen
I could do anything
And somehow I end up here, I don't know why
I still believe that
Love is on my side
Love is on my side
Love is on my side
Maybe not tonight
I can feel it when it rains
I can feel it still runnin' through my veins
Ran so fast I couldn't even grow
Forgot where I belong
Sold my body on a dirty cold floor
Yet, I believe that
I believe that
Love is on…
