Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left before the sun
Steel-toe steps on the floor
Cold meal gone on the stove
You still gave us one more
Same worn coat in the rain
Split your pay three ways
Never said what you lost
You just made our days
[Pre-Chorus]
And I saw it late
How you carried that weight
Quiet hands, tired eyes
Still you showed up every time
[Chorus]
You gave us more
You gave us more
More than you kept
More than you wore
You gave us more
(you gave us more)
You gave us more
And I love you for it
[Verse 2]
Counted change at the drawer
Dropped your lunch on the route
Fixed that chair by the door
Never made a big deal out
School forms, broken lights
You took the hit again
Told us, "Keep your head high"
Like a prayer you lived in
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see it now
In my own two hands
Every inch I stand on
Built from your sacrifice
[Chorus]
You gave us more
You gave us more
More than you kept
More than you wore
You gave us more
(you gave us more)
You gave us more
And I love you for it
[Bridge]
Now I know
The hardest kind of love
Is the kind that folds itself
So your child can rise above
Every missed-out dream
Every aching bone
You turned your own down
To make our house a home
[Chorus]
You gave us more
You gave us more
More than you kept
More than you wore
You gave us more
(you gave us more)
You gave us more
And I love you for it
[Outro]
Quiet man
Big heart
I carry you
Wherever I go
