Better than I deserve

Verse 1

You don’t know it, but you changed the air,

Like sunrise sneaking through a room I left dark.

You walked in quiet, never asked for anything,

Still found every crack inside my heart.

You wear your smile like the world ain’t heavy,

Like kindness is the only thing you’ve learned.

And somehow every time you look my way,

You make me want to be the man I’ve never been.

Pre-Chorus

I’ve spent too many nights believing

I was only made to break good things.

Then you came along and proved

Hope still knows my name.

Chorus

‘Cause you’re making me a better person

Than I ever thought I’d be.

You’re teaching broken hands to hold,

Teaching restless hearts to breathe.

I don’t think I’ve earned an angel

With eyes that see the best in me.

But every day you choose to stay,

You rewrite what I believe.

If love’s a gift I never deserved,

Then you’re the grace that found me first.

Verse 2

I’ve got scars I keep beneath the surface,

Words I swallowed ‘cause they hurt to say.

You never asked me to be perfect,

You just loved the parts I’d thrown away.

When I lose myself inside my own mind,

You don’t run when the shadows appear.

You remind me I am more than my mistakes,

More than every doubt I’ve carried for years.

Bridge

So if tomorrow steals the sunlight,

And the road gets hard to see,

I’ll keep becoming someone worthy

Of the way you look at me.

I’ll spend forever chasing

The man you already see.

Not because you ask me to—

Because you make me believe.

Final Chorus

You’re making me a better person

Than I ever could alone.

Turning all my empty chapters

Into somewhere called a home.

Maybe I’ll never deserve you,

Maybe that’s not how love works.

Maybe love is finding someone

Who heals your soul before it hurts.

So if anyone should ask me

What forever feels like now,

I’d point to the girl in the mirror,

Surrounded by all that green somehow.

And I’d say…

“She never tried to change me.

She just loved me enough…

That I finally wanted to change myself.”
