You stood beside me through our darkest nights,
Held on tight when I let go of the light.
You saw the good beneath my restless soul,
A heart that struggled just to hold on to hope.
You gave me grace I never earned,
While you were always the one who got burned.
Pre-Chorus
I wear a smile for everyone I meet,
Then bring my battles home to you.
You give me everything you are,
And I return the hurt you never knew.
Chorus
Why do I hurt you the most
When you’re the one I love the best?
Why do my careless words
Tear apart what we built from nothing?
I hate the man that I become
Every time I lose control.
You deserve the best of me,
But I keep falling short.
Verse 2
You never counted all my failures,
Never held my past against my name.
You believed in something better,
Even when I stayed the same.
You saw a future I avoided,
Held on when I pulled away,
And still you chose to stay.
Bridge
No more hiding behind excuses,
I won’t let this define me.
I can change the way I love you,
If I face what’s inside me.
Tonight I lay my pride aside,
And finally take the blame.
I’ll prove it in the way I live,
Not just in what I say.
Verse 3
You’ve stood at the edge of leaving,
With every reason to walk away.
But something in you still believes
I won’t be this man someday.
I see the doubt behind your eyes,
And the hope you try to hide,
Holding on one last time.
Chorus
Why do I hurt you the most
When you’re the one I love the best?
Why do my careless words
Keep putting us through this test?
I hate the man that I become
Every time I lose control.
You deserve the best of me,
And I’m learning how to grow.
Chorus
Why did I hurt you the most
When you’re the one I love the best?
I won’t be who I was before,
I won’t repeat those same regrets.
I’m fighting to be better now,
To heal what I broke in you.
If you still believe in tomorrow,
I’ll spend my life proving it’s true.
Outro
You saw the man I couldn’t be,
Now let me become him for you.
