Damn near lost you

I was too proud to say I’m wrong

Too stubborn to see what was goin’ on

You were cryin’ in the driveway, keys in your hand

And I was halfway to blowin’ a good thing again

I slammed that door like I’d done before

But this time, girl, you didn’t chase no more

I sat there in the silence, feelin’ the cost

Of all the nights I damn near lost…

⸻

You — and the fight that made us strong

The way you love me even when I’m wrong

That old couch, them midnight talks

The porch light on when I’d gone too far

We ain’t perfect, Lord knows we’ve got scars

But it’s real, it’s bruised, it’s ours

And I damn near lost you…

But you stayed

And saved me anyway

⸻

Now your laugh fills up this little home

And there’s baby clothes hangin’ on the line out back blowin’ strong

I kiss your belly and thank God every day

That love like yours don’t walk away

You could’ve left, and I wouldn’t blame you

But you chose love when I gave you every reason not to

Now I hold you close like I should’ve all along

And I sing this truth in every song

⸻

You — and the fight that made us strong

The way you love me even when I’m wrong

That old couch, them midnight talks

The porch light on when I’d gone too far

We ain’t perfect, Lord knows we’ve got scars

But it’s real, it’s bruised, it’s ours

And I damn near lost you…

But you stayed

And saved me anyway

⸻

One more second, one more mile

I’d have missed that tear, that look, that smile

But you turned around and walked back in

And gave this fool a second chance again

⸻

You — and the grace I don’t deserve

The way you carry love through every hurt

This life we’ve built with shaky hands

Is standin’ tall on second plans

We ain’t perfect, but we’ve come so far

And I’d take every broken part

‘Cause I damn near lost you…

But now I thank God I’ve got you

Every single day
