[Verse 1]
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…
⸻
[Chorus]
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
⸻
[Verse 2]
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
⸻
[Chorus]
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
⸻
[Bridge]
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
⸻
[Final Chorus]
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
Lukester
