Changed For The Better

[Verse 1]
I used to keep my guard up
Walls around my foolish pride
Every feeling in a fortress
Every truth I tried to hide
Then you took my hand so softly
Didn’t ask for me to prove
Just a quiet
Steady presence
And the ground began to move
[Chorus]
You changed me for the better
You taught my heart to stay
You turned my darkest corners
Into somewhere safe to lay
If I could love you a lifetime
It still would not be enough
You’re my always
My forever
My miracle
My love
[Verse 2]
You see the good when I don’t
You hear the words I never say
You turn my anger into patience
Just by looking at my face
I’m kinder when you’re near me
I’m braver in your arms
You took a broken story
And rewrote every part
[Chorus]
You changed me for the better
You taught my heart to stay
You turned my darkest corners
Into somewhere safe to lay
If I could love you a lifetime
It still would not be enough
You’re my always
My forever
My miracle
My love
[Bridge]
One day I’ll say “I do”
But I already do
It’s true (oh yeah)
To every tear and every laugh
Every dream I chase with you
If I ever doubt my purpose
I just look into your eyes
You are the reason
You’re the meaning
You’re my favorite part of life
[Chorus]
You changed me for the better
You taught my heart to stay
You turned my darkest corners
Into somewhere safe to lay
If I could love you a lifetime
It still would not be enough
You’re my always
My forever
My miracle
My love

Dynamic build from tender to triumphant, then back to a hushed, heartfelt outro., romantic
