I don’t care what you’ve done or how you got here,
It’s just the path that brought you home to me;
The dark clouds of your life are disappearing,
The love that’s in your heart is all I see.
So tell me all the hurts your heart is hiding,
You know how much I love you and I care,
You know that I was always, always with you,
It’s just you didn’t see me standing there.
And I know that you’ve been crying gently crying
For all the pain the heartache, you’ve been through;
So hold me, hold me tightly till forever
You know I’ve walked along that dark road too
And I don’t care what you’ve done or how you got here,
It’s just the path that brought you home to me;
The dark clouds of your life are disappearing,
The love that’s in your heart is all I see.

Based on something I said to a girlfriend who had been through some very traumatic events.
