Verse 1
When I first saw you, something in me knew
Like my heart had found a place it had always ran to
But I knew I’d never met you, cause I’d remember those eyes
I’d remember that smile for the rest of my life
We tried to play it cool, started out as friends
But I was telling you my dreams before the week could end
You listened like my passion was something you could see
Like every little thing I loved mattered suddenly
Long talks, FaceTimes, staying up too late
A couple days in and forever didn’t feel far away
You said, “When you know, you know,” and I believed it too
Cause somehow in one week, I was already loving you
Chorus
But we got trauma in our bodies
We got fear in our hands
We got pain from past lovers
And wounds that tell us that we’ll never be enough
So we push when we need holding
We run when it gets deep
We protect ourselves from losing love
And hurt the one we wanna keep
We got anxious hearts and guarded souls
Trying to trust what heaven gave
But love gets hard to carry
When survival taught us both to be afraid
Verse 2
We planned a daughter, we planned a home
A life where neither one of us would have to feel alone
You said I was your wife, I said you were my man
Talking marriage, talking babies, talking passports in our hands
And then script flipped,
Our hearts took the blame.
We both told lies, kept secrets, played games
We treated each other like what we had wasn’t rare
Like God would bless us again if we just threw it in the air
We could be each other’s peace after a long day
The one who says, “I got you,” when the world gets in the way
You can been my backbone, I can been your light
Building something beautiful instead of always having to fight
Cause life would be better if we learned how to stay
If we stopped pointing fingers and started finding our way
If I covered your weakness and you protected mine
If we loved with intention instead of wasting time
Chorus
But we got trauma in our bodies
We got fear in our hands
We got pain from past lovers
And wounds that tell us that we’ll never be enough
So we push when we need holding
We run when it gets deep
We protect ourselves from losing love
And hurt the one we wanna keep
We got anxious hearts and guarded souls
Trying to trust what heaven gave
But love gets hard to carry
When survival taught us both to be afraid
Bridge / Outro
So take a chance on us
Not the easy kind of love
But the kind that makes us heal
The kind that calls us up
I don’t wanna keep score
I don’t wanna keep pain
I don’t wanna keep fighting
Just to prove who’s more afraid
I wanna pray through it
Stay through it
Learn how to love you right
I want your hand in mine
Not your pride against mine
Your heart beat with mine
A love thats patient and kind
I’ll be your proverbs woman, to your Ephesians man
Cause we could be better
If we stop running from trust
We could be forever
If we take a chance on us
If we just took a chance on ussssss… on ussss…
if we just took a chance on us…
Quite Frankly..
