Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Missed your first word
Didn’t hear that small laugh
Only knew you from pictures
On some stranger’s wall
I was stuck in my storms
You grew up through the rain
Every birthday I counted
Every candle
Every age
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept your names in my prayers
Every night
Every night
Even when I felt so empty
You were my quiet light (oh)
[Chorus]
Even when you weren’t with me
You were the light through my darkest days
Every wrong turn that I took
I dreamed you’d walk a different way
My love don’t ask you to choose
My love don’t keep any score
I just want you better than me
Stronger
Kinder
Loved even more
My love is unconditional
That’s what I was fighting for
[Verse 2]
I replay all the “what ifs”
Like a movie stuck on pause
Could’ve held you on Sundays
Instead of running from my flaws
You don’t owe me your story
You don’t owe me your time
But if you ever feel broken
I’ll be standing on your side
[Pre-Chorus]
You were hope in my shadows
Every step
Every fall
I was down on the bottom
Still
I saved you all my heart
[Chorus]
Even when you weren’t with me
You were the light through my darkest days
Every wrong turn that I took
I prayed you’d find a safer way
My love don’t bargain or beg
My love don’t shut any door
I just want you better than me
Laughing louder
Hurting less than before
My love is unconditional
That’s what I was reaching for
[Bridge]
If you hate my mistakes
I understand that
You can lay it all down
I can take that
I can take that (yeah)
If “hello” comes late
I will still say your name
Like it’s always been home
Like it never once changed
[Chorus]
Even when you weren’t with me
You were the light through my darkest days
Every scar that I carried
I hoped you’d never see that pain
My love ain’t asking you back
My love just waits on your call
I just want you better than me
Stand up taller
Never feel small
My love is unconditional
I’ll be here through it all (through it all)
