Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Met you in that small-town bar Boots on the rail, laughing too hard Three and a half years Coffee cups and Sunday drives Every little look in your eyes Keeps me right here [Chorus] ‘Cause you love like you mean it Say what you’re feeling If it hurts, you don’t hide it away You hold my hand in the hard parts Guard my name like it’s your heart Baby, you’re the reason I stayed You showed me what forever could be After what forever did to me [Verse 2] Used to flinch when my phone would ring Thought “who is she this time” again Always on guard Broken dates and lipstick lies Trust was just a word she tried Cut me in the dark [Chorus] But you love like you mean it Say what you’re feeling If it hurts, you don’t hide it away You hold my hand in the hard parts Guard my name like it’s your heart Baby, you’re the reason I stayed You showed me what forever could be After what forever did to me [Bridge] She taught me doubt You taught me faith She walked me out You made me stay All of that damage Turned into grace When you pulled me into your arms And said, “You’re safe” (oh you’re safe) [Chorus] Yeah, you love like you mean it Say what you’re feeling And I believe every word that you say You hold my hand in the hard parts Guard my name like it’s your heart Baby, you’re the reason I changed You turned every bitter memory sweet You showed me what forever could be After what forever did to me
