Right Love, Wrong Man

[Verse 1]
You were standin’ in my doorway
Coffee steam and Sunday light
You said
“Baby
We could make it”
I said
“Girl
Not tonight”
I kept searchin’ through the shadows
For a man I’d never find
Never saw that he was waitin’
In your eyes this whole damn time
[Chorus]
Perfect love at the wrong time
Right here in my hands
I was diggin’ through my damage
Too afraid to take a stand
You were prayin’ for an answer
I was hidin’ from your hand
Perfect love at the wrong time
And I was the wrong man
[Verse 2]
You held on like it was gospel
Like our names were carved in stone
You kept blessin’ all my chaos
Called that busted house a home
I was drownin’ in my story
All the ways I thought I’d fail
Never saw the gold inside me
Only rust and busted rail
[Chorus]
Perfect love at the wrong time
Right here in my hands
I was starin’ at my scars
Wouldn’t let you understand
You were singin’ over sorrow
I was stickin’ to my plan
Perfect love at the wrong time
And I was the wrong man
[Bridge]
You had faith enough for two
(oh, you believed, you believed)
You kept prayin’ I’d break through
But I stayed on my knees
Beggin’ mercy from the past
While the future passed me by
You were ready for forever
I was barely gettin’ by
[Chorus]
Perfect love at the wrong time
Right here in my hands
You were reachin’ out for heaven
I was scared to try again
Now your silhouette is leavin’
Suitcase swingin’ from your hand
Perfect love at the wrong time
And I was the wrong man
[Outro]
So if you find a love like she was
Don’t you run
Don’t you hide
‘Cause a woman who still believes in you
She’s the good you hold inside
