Not the man before

She walks like she’s carryin’ yesterday’s rain

Eyes full of stories, heart full of pain

Every “I love you” she’s heard came undone

Now she don’t trust no one

(Verse 2)

She’s heard all the promises, worn like a lie

Watched ‘em all leave, one by one, pass her by

So when I hold her, she pulls away slow

Like she’s scared to let go

(Chorus)

But I ain’t the man that walked out that door

I ain’t those shadows she’s known before

I don’t speak love just to hear it sound good

I mean every word like a real man should

Sam, if you could just see what I see

A lifetime waitin’ for you and me

I’m here to stay, not passin’ through

I want forever with you

(Verse 3)

She questions the silence, the truth in my voice

Like love’s just a gamble and pain is the choice

But I’ll stand steady, I won’t run away

I’ll prove it more every day

(Verse 4)

I don’t need perfect, just her by my side

Through every storm and the changing tide

I’ll earn her trust, I’ll take my time

Till her heart rests in mine

(Chorus)

‘Cause I ain’t the man that walked out that door

I ain’t those shadows she’s known before

I don’t speak love just to hear it sound good

I mean every word like a real man should

Sam, if you could just see what I see

A lifetime waitin’ for you and me

I’m here to stay, not passin’ through

I want forever with you
