The Love You Gave

[Verse 1]
I was running wild and reckless
Long hair, a bottle in my hand
Trouble followed me like the moon
I was half a boy, not yet a man
I was staring down an ending
Too blind to see a way to live
Then you showed up like a sunrise
And taught me how to forgive

[Chorus]
The love you gave me changed the game
Turned my fire into a flame
You saw the good beneath the scars
When I was lost, you found my heart
I was broken, but you made me believe
I’m still standing on the strength you gave to me
After all these years, I still can’t say
Enough about the love you gave

[Verse 2]
You took a sinner and made me a saint
You saw a man I couldn’t see
You never asked for silver or glory
Just faith in who I could be
Now the mirror shows an older face
But my heart still beats the same
Every day I thank the heavens
For the angel that knew my name

[Chorus]
The love you gave me changed the game
Turned my fire into a flame
You saw the good beneath the scars
When I was lost, you found my heart
I was broken, but you made me believe
I’m still standing on the strength you gave to me
After all these years, I still can’t say
Enough about the love you gave

[Bridge]
When I fall, you still reach out
Your touch reminds me who I am
If the road ends here, I’ll smile and say
I became a better man

[Final Chorus]
The love you gave me changed my soul
Turned the ashes into gold
You saw the good beneath the scars
When I was lost, you found my heart
I was broken, but you made me believe
You’re the reason I’m the man I’m meant to be
After all these years, my heart still prays
For the love you gave… the love you gave
