Not the man before

She walks like she’s carryin’ yesterday’s rain  
Eyes full of stories, heart full of pain  
Every “I love you” she’s heard came undone  
Now she don’t trust no one
(Verse 2)  
She’s heard all the promises, worn like a lie  
Watched ‘em all leave, one by one, pass her by  
So when I hold her, she pulls away slow  
Like she’s scared to let go
(Chorus)  
But I ain’t the man that walked out that door  
I ain’t those shadows she’s known before  
I don’t speak love just to hear it sound good  
I mean every word like a real man should  
Sam, if you could just see what I see  
A lifetime waitin’ for you and me  
I’m here to stay, not passin’ through  
I want forever with you
(Verse 3)  
She questions the silence, the truth in my voice  
Like love’s just a gamble and pain is the choice  
But I’ll stand steady, I won’t run away  
I’ll prove it more every day
(Verse 4)  
I don’t need perfect, just her by my side  
Through every storm and the changing tide  
I’ll earn her trust, I’ll take my time  
Till her heart rests in mine
(Chorus)  
‘Cause I ain’t the man that walked out that door  
I ain’t those shadows she’s known before  
I don’t speak love just to hear it sound good  
I mean every word like a real man should  
Sam, if you could just see what I see  
A lifetime waitin’ for you and me  
I’m here to stay, not passin’ through  
I want forever with you
