Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bella met Cabe at a county fair He held her coat, pulled out her chair Seven months later, bless his heart He’s still that boy, she’s fallin’ apart [Verse 2] He writes her notes on her coffee cup Says “you look perfect” when she just woke up He never shows late, never slams a door She’s countin’ his blessings like a long, slow chore [Chorus] Everyone says Cabe’s the kindest soul Opens every door, lets the old folks go But Bella’s sick of sweet, yeah, sweet don’t thrill She wants rough around the edges, a stubborn will She rolls her eyes when he calls her “dear” Love shouldn’t sound like a Hallmark cheer From the outside, he looks like her perfect mate But Bella hates how she hates a guy this great [Verse 3] He plans dates out, makes neat little lists Texts “made it home” with a smiley and a kiss He laughs at jokes that ain’t even fun He’s sunshine walking, she just wants some sunburn [Pre-Chorus] She tells her friends, “he’s just too kind Like chewing sugar till you lose your mind” They say “girl, keep him, he’s so rare” She stares at the ceiling, pulls at her hair [Chorus] Everyone says Cabe’s the kindest soul Opens every door, lets the old folks go But Bella’s sick of sweet, yeah, sweet don’t thrill She wants rough around the edges, a stubborn will She rolls her eyes when he calls her “dear” Love shouldn’t sound like a Hallmark cheer From the outside, he looks like her perfect mate But Bella hates how she hates a guy this great [Bridge] He’s standin’ there with wildflowers in his hands She’s wishin’ she could be the girl he understands But comfort feels like cardboard, neat and plain She’s dreamin’ dirt roads, dust, and summer rain (oh) [Chorus] Everyone says Cabe’s the kindest soul Opens every door, lets the old folks go But Bella’s sick of sweet, yeah, sweet don’t thrill She wants rough around the edges, a stubborn will She rolls her eyes when he calls her “dear” Love shouldn’t sound like a Hallmark cheer From the outside, he looks like her perfect mate But Bella hates how she hates a guy this great [Outro] Bella’s packin’ up her sundress life Cabe’s still askin’, “did I treat you right?” Town just shrugs, says “that’s her fate” Bella’s tired of nice And Cabe’s just great

Verses keep it lean and conversational, chorus opens with stacked harmonies on the hook. Fiddle lines answer key phrases, bass walks just enough to keep it moving.
