	This crossover song probably expresses how we've all felt at one time or another about relationships. We're hurt. It's painful. We're never going through THAT again...until someone has the power to tear down those walls we've built around our heart. Then we find out that love is not about control - it's about letting go. Publishing is open.

	Story Behind the Song This song was written over the internet by 2 songwriters who have never met. Jim presented the title and hook line: "You came, I saw, I surrendered". Donna wrote the melody and the two of them worked on the lyrics for almost a year. The singer was determined not to take a chance on love again because of the pain that it had brought in the past. Love had become "the enemy". Isn't it nice to know that one person can change all of those feelings? Lyrics I convinced myself love was the enemy And never again would I let it get the best of me I believed I'd be strong enough to stand my ground So sure my guard wouldn't let me down Oh I tried and I tried to push you away But little by little day by day You came I saw I SURRENDERED You shot down all my defenses I found a place my heart feels safe Enough to stay forever You can I saw I SURRENDERED I guess I thought that needing you made me weak It's had to admit how foolishly I used to think 'Cause here in your arms I realize I was wrong And facin' up to this truth has only made me strong Now I give you my heart I give you it all 'Cause you gave me every reason to fall CHORUS BRIDGE I was all about control I just didn't know This is all so new to me But it's gettin' through to me Love's about lettin' go CHORUS
