Forever, I do

Verse 1
You pulled me from a house on fire
Long before the flames were real.
A shaking girl with a busted past,
You were the first safe place I could feel.
You didn’t ask for pretty stories,
Didn’t need me shining bright —
You just held the broken pieces
’Til we put them back together again.

Chorus
But you don’t see the way we see you —
All the miles your heart has run.
How you shelter every one of us
Like a body shields the sun.
You think you’re just a man surviving,
But to us you’re so much more —
You’re the quiet strength that carries us
When our legs give out on the floor.

Verse 2
You loved me through the storms I brought,
Through the nights I fell apart.
Through the panic and the darkness,
You never once lost heart.
And with our kids you’re pure devotion —
Every choice, every breath you take.
If danger came, you’d stand between
Our babies and the break.

Chorus
But you don’t see the way we see you —
All the miles your heart has run.
How you shelter every one of us
Like a body shields the sun.
You think you’re just a man surviving,
But to us you’re so much more —
You’re the quiet strength that carries us
When our legs give out on the floor.

Bridge
If you could step outside yourself
And see what we see clear —
A loyal man, a stubborn heart,
Brave enough to stay right here.
You’ve loved me from the very start 
But love, you’re anything but unseen.
You’re the reason this whole house of ours
Still stands at all.

Final Chorus
No, you don’t see the way we see you —
But maybe someday you will.
How your love keeps this family standing,
How your strength holds us still.
You think you’re just a man surviving,
But baby, you’re our home, our trust.
You’re the quiet strength that carries us,
And we love you — more than you ever trust.
