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
⸻
[Chorus]
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
⸻
[Verse 2]
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
⸻
[Chorus]
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
⸻
[Bridge]
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
⸻
[Final Chorus]
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
