That Gurl (Blue Eyed)

Verse 1

We were five years deep, headlights on the road

I was running fast but losing what I owed

Started out steady, doing all I could

Then I went quiet, misunderstood

I tried to win fights instead of listening

Lost sight of love while I was arguing

You said I was here, but I wasn’t the same

I watched myself drift, still hearing your name

Pre-Chorus

I shut the door when I felt unworthy

Built walls where there used to be mercy

I broke a promise I swore I’d keep

And the wreck still echoes inside of me

Chorus

Kari, you loved me when I didn’t know how

Saw the man I could be, not the mess I was now

Blue-eyed truth in the way you looked at me

Like I was still worth what I couldn’t see

I didn’t change in time, that part’s on me

But I’m walking straighter because you believed

If I’m ever better than the man I knew

It’s a better me for you

Verse 2

Cabo nights, ocean breathing slow

Your shoulder shook when you drove us home

New Year’s lights in your steady stare

Love that said, I’ll always be here

You gave me confidence I didn’t earn

Let me feel safe, let me feel learned

I should’ve held you the way you held me

Instead I let fear decide who I’d be

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t see it till I lost the view

Didn’t recognize the man you knew

Now I pray for patience, faith, and truth

Trying to become what I promised you

Chorus

Kari, you loved me when I didn’t know how

Saw the man I could be, not the mess I was now

Blue-eyed grace in the way you stayed

Even when I was pushing love away

I didn’t change in time, that part’s on me

But I’m walking straighter because you believed

If I’m ever better than the man I knew

It’s a better me for you

Bridge

Marriage scared me ‘cause I wasn’t whole

Didn’t trust my hands on the wheel I drove

But when we teamed up, we were bulletproof

Every road felt possible next to you

You changed me more than I ever said

Showed me love wasn’t something dead

Now I know I could be loved again

Even if it’s not how this story ends

Final Chorus (Soft)

That Gurl… you’ll always be true

To the version of me you saw me through

If love still lives, it lives quiet and blue

Unfinished roads leading back to you

I didn’t become a better man in time

But I became one because you were mine

If someday you hear this and wonder what’s true—

There’s a better me

Because of you

Outro

Still driving roads I don’t fully know

Still learning how to let love show

If our paths cross or drift apart

You’ll always have this piece of my heart
