[Verse 1]
I found an old letter in the drawer today
From when we were young and had less to say
Back before the nights we fought and prayed
For mercy to find us along the way
You held my hand through the loss and rain
I held your name when I felt that pain
And though we stumble, fall from grace
I still see heaven when I see your face
⸻
[Chorus]
So I’m writing you letters in the pines
Where the wind knows the weight of time
I ain’t perfect, Lord knows neither are you
But I’d walk through the fire just to stand by you
‘Cause I love you, I love Jesus and our little boys too
And I’ll keep trying every day to be better for you
⸻
[Verse 2]
Some days we shout, some nights we cry
We’re both too stubborn to apologize
But there’s a man I see when the silence falls
The one I married, through it all
You taught me grace, you taught me fight
And I learned to pray in the hardest nights
I know our story’s a little worn
But there’s beauty in the threads we’ve torn
⸻
[Chorus]
So I’m writing you letters in the pines
Where the wind knows the weight of time
I ain’t perfect, Lord knows neither are you
But I’d walk through the fire just to stand by you
‘Cause I love you, I love Jesus and our little boys too
And I’ll keep trying every day to be better for you
⸻
[Bridge]
One day we’ll be silver and slow
Rockin’ on a porch where the wildflowers grow
And I’ll thank God for the fights and the nights we swore
That love ain’t easy — it’s worth fighting for
⸻
[Final Chorus]
So I’m writing you letters in the pines
With a love that’s bruised but still shines
I ain’t perfect, Lord knows neither are you
But I’d walk through the fire just to stand by you
‘Cause I love you, I love Jesus and our little boys too
And I’ll keep trying every day
Yeah, I’ll keep trying every day
To be better for you
