[Verse 1]
We been fighting in circles, same old road
Saying things that we hate, cuttin' too close
But I see you in the kitchen, holding our son
And I remember why this started, how we begun
I miss laughing on the couch over nothing at all
Inside jokes, late talks, answering every call
Yeah we cracked, but the pieces still fit in my hand
I don't want a brand-new love, I want us again
[Chorus]
I wanna build us back, brick by brick
Learn your heart like I never did
Be your best friend first, then your man
Hold you steady when you can't stand
I wanna fall in love like it's day one
Trust you deep when the day is done
For our little boy smiling in the crib at night
We gon' fight for us till we get it right (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You tired of the empty "sorry," I know
You need actions planted, not words that float
So I'm showing up early, leaving my pride
Admitting when I'm wrong, letting you inside
Let's trade shouting for listening, side by side
Turn "you vs me" to "us vs the tide"
We got tiny hands reaching out for our care
He deserves two parents that are really there
[Bridge]
We can learn again, unlearn the pain
Talk through the storm, dance in the rain
I got you if you fall, say my name, I'll come
‘Cause this little family is the only one
[Chorus]
I wanna build us back, brick by brick
Learn your heart like I never did
Be your best friend first, then your man
Hold you steady when you can't stand
I wanna fall in love like it's day one
Trust you deep when the day is done
For our little boy smiling in the crib at night
We gon' fight for us till we get it right (till we get it right)
[Chorus]
I wanna build us back, brick by brick
Through the late-night tears, every conflict
Hand in hand, yeah, we’ll raise that boy
In a home full of peace, full of joy
I wanna fall in love like it's day one
Promise you now, I won’t run
For our little king dreaming in his room tonight
We gon' fight for us till we get it right (yeah, we’ll get it right)
