Flyleaf (Lacey Mosley) singing "So I Thought" at a concert in the San Francisco Regency Ballroom. The speech and lyrics are below.
Speech:
"So many times we have - when we're in a relationship with somebody, we're really open and vulnerable in that situation, and we can go through hell and back because of it, depending on how that person treats you. And the thing is, is that sometimes you come out of relationships where you have been so beaten down - just feeling like you're worthless - made to believe that we are worth-less than we really are. And if someone has made you feel that way, I just want to tell you that you are valuable and you deserve the truth. And the thing is, is so many times - those kind of things make up worshipping somebody who's not God, and because of that, they fails us, because they're just a person like us, who needs God just like everyone. - It's just too much weight for somebody to hold. It doesn't excuse that person from doing horrible - from treating you in a way that you don't deserve to be treated, and at the same time, it can so crush your heart, that they feel like they can't wake up the next day, and that's so hard. I know what that feels like, so I'm saying this, I know what that feels like, and I know I'm not the only one who's felt that way, and I know that there's somebody here that needs to hear that. That you can wake up today, you can wake up tomorrow, and the sun rises, it's a new day, you have a whole life ahead of you. You can start over from that moment and become wiser and stronger because of what's behind you, but quit looking that way and look forward because you have a whole life completely in front of you. - I promise you that I'm no more special than anybody in this room, and if it can happen for me, that I came out and life became better than I ever imagined, than it can happen for anyone. I hope that this helps you to wake up tomorrow and know that you're going to heaven. It's terrible that people die because they don't know how important, how valuable their life is. This next song is how about how everything bad, even though it's terrible - it can be turned around and used for the wiser and stronger. This is 'So I Thought'".

Song Lyrics:
All your twisted thoughts free flow
To everlasting memories show soul
Kiss the stars with me
And dread the wait for
Stupid calls returning us to life
We say to those who are in love
It can't be true 'cause we're too young
I know that's true because
So long I was
So in love with you
So I thought
A year goes by
And I can't talk about it
On my knees
Dim lighted room
Thoughts free flow try to consume
Myself in this
I'm not faithless
Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods
You learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies
About the times
A year goes by
And I can't talk about it
The times weren't right
But I couldn't talk about it
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
So we can talk about it
[guitar solo]
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
