Still worth loving

Grew up in Santa Maria with the devil on my tail

Mama’s prayers and sirens were the lullabies I held

Tried to find some peace in all the wrong hands

Girls, bottles, and hustles I didn’t understand

But then you showed up like a light through the smoke

Didn’t flinch at my past or the weight I broke

You saw more in me than I ever knew

And somehow I started believing it too

⸻

I was lost, but you saw a way

Through the wreckage and the runaway

Told me, “You’re still worth something”

When I thought I wasn’t worth nothin’

You don’t need a perfect man

You just want a heart that stands

Through the fire, through the running

You loved me like I was still worth loving

⸻

Army boots and battlefield nights

Tried to outrun my home, my fight

Didn’t find peace overseas or here

Just a man in a mirror facing fear

But you held my scars like they were gold

Heard the stories I was scared to unfold

Didn’t try to fix me, just stayed near

And that kind of love don’t disappear

⸻

I was lost, but you saw a way

Through the wreckage and the runaway

Told me, “You’re still worth something”

When I thought I wasn’t worth nothin’

You don’t need a perfect man

You just want a heart that stands

Through the fire, through the running

You loved me like I was still worth loving

⸻

We stood at the altar, I still had my doubts

But you held my hand, and you never walked out

You gave me two girls with your eyes and your grace

Now I see heaven every time I see their face

⸻

I was lost, but now I see

That love like yours was meant for me

You looked past the hurt and bluffin’

And saw a man still worth somethin’

I ain’t a perfect man

But I’ll be the best I can

Through the fire, through the running

You loved me like I was still worth loving

Yeah, you made me feel like I was still worth loving
