The Girl That Got Me

She wasn’t loud, but sure did light up the room

Didn’t play games or make me chase too soon

She just smiled, said my name soft and slow

And somehow, that’s all it took to know

⸻

I’d been burned, I’d been blind

But she saw through the mess I left behind

⸻

They all talk about the one that got away

But I thank God for the one that chose to stay

She didn’t run when it got tough

She held on when I’d had enough

She’s more than the girl of my dreams—

She’s the girl that got me

⸻

She didn’t need a spotlight, didn’t need a show

She just needed me to grow

Now every song I write, every line I sing

Comes back to the way she changed everything

⸻

Could’ve walked, could’ve gone

But she stayed and made this house a home

⸻

They all talk about the one that got away

But I thank God for the one that chose to stay

She didn’t run when it got tough

She held on when I’d had enough

She’s more than the girl of my dreams—

She’s the girl that got me

⸻

All the heartbreaks, all the wrongs

Led me right where I belong

⸻

They all talk about the one that got away

But I’ll die loving the one that made me stay

She didn’t flinch when I fell apart

She just reached in and held my heart

Yeah, they write songs for the ones who leave

But this one’s for the girl that got me
