I was an old barn leanin’ sideways,
Paint cracked, boards worn thin.
Had a roof full of weather and years of hurt
I kept tryin’ to hold in.
My heart had gone quiet as winter,
Cold nails in a stubborn frame—
Standin’ on a patch of memories
Afraid to feel again.
Then you walked in like springtime,
Soft sun on forgotten ground.
You didn’t push the walls I’d built,
You just stayed and looked around.
Now I’m learnin’ to love again,
Like breath after holdin’ it in so long.
You’re the calm after the thunder,
You’re the truth inside my wrongs.
Yeah, you’re teachin’ me to hope again,
Like rain on fields that ain’t seen rain.
Never thought my broken heart could stand,
But you raised me straight again—
Baby, I’m learnin’ to love again.
I was patched up, painted over,
Tryin’ to hide what time had done.
Didn’t trust a single soul enough
To let ’em see the damage run.
But you traced every splintered story
Like a carpenter knows the grain—
Didn’t try to fix me fast,
You worked gentle through the pain.
You found the heartbeat in the hollows,
Made the crooked feel like home.
Every day you show me love
A little more than I’ve ever known.
Now I’m learnin’ to love again,
Like breath after holdin’ it in so long.
You’re the calm after the thunder,
You’re the truth inside my wrongs.
Yeah, you’re teachin’ me to hope again,
Like rain on fields that ain’t seen rain.
Never thought my broken heart could stand,
But you raised me straight again—
Baby, I’m learnin’ to love again.
Some nights I still get frightened
You’ll see the parts I try to hide.
But you just pull me closer
Till the fear falls off my side.
Now I’m learnin’ to love again,
Not the man I was back then.
You’re the warm light in the doorway
Callin’ me back home again.
Yeah, you’re bringin’ me life again,
Like sunrise through a long-lost windowpane.
Didn’t know my broken heart could stand,
But with you it finally can—
Baby, I’m learnin’ to love again.
