(Verse 1)
[Fingerpick single chords, low vocal register]
Bad love left me empty
Abuse etched in my skin
I carried that weight like a shadow
Didn’t think I’d feel whole again
Raised a child on my own
With a world I couldn’t tame
You stayed right here beside us
Never turned away
(Pre-Chorus)
[Strum softly, build intensity]
You saw the pieces I tried to hide
You loved what no one could
You were the quiet in my mind
You were the last thing good
(Chorus)
[Full strum, warm harmonies]
You were everyone’s comfort
But you were my salvation
Three times you pulled me back
From my own damnation
Every broken part of me
You held without a sound
You were everyone’s comfort
But you never let me down
(Verse 2)
[Fingerpick, softer dynamic]
I was homeless and hurting
Sleeping on that chapel floor
When the world felt colder
Than the worst I’d known before
Three soft steps in the shelter
Three soft breaths in the dark
You’d settle near the blankets
Like you were guarding my heart
(Pre-Chorus)
[Gentle strum, rising tension]
You didn’t care how far I’d gone
How broken I became
You saw the worth beneath it all
You loved me just the same
(Chorus)
[Full strum, vocals strong]
You were everyone’s comfort
But you were my redemption
Three times you pulled me back
From my own reflection
Every night I thought was endless
Every dawn too hard to face
You were everyone’s comfort
But you kept me safe
(Verse 3)
[Fingerpick, darker tone]
There were nights I couldn’t stand up
Nights I couldn’t breathe
Cheap booze and old memories
Getting the best of me
Cold floors, darker mornings
I was too far gone to fight
But you lay down there beside me
Three times you saved my life
(Pre-Chorus)
[Strum gently, pause between lines]
I didn’t have the strength to carry on
Thought this world would let me drown
But you stayed when it all went wrong
You never let me down
(Chorus)
[Full strum, hold last chord]
You were everyone’s comfort
But you were my salvation
Three times you pulled me back
From my own damnation
Every piece you put together
Still carries your name
You were everyone’s comfort
But you loved me just the same
(Bridge)
[Single chord drone, spoken/sung]
I’ve known hunger
I’ve known rage
I’ve known the back of a hand
I’ve known shame
But you were steady
You were grace
Three times you found me
In that place
Three times you stayed
When no one stayed
(Chorus)
[Soft strum, vocals tender]
You were everyone’s comfort
But you were my salvation
Three times you pulled me back
From my own damnation
Every piece you put together
Still carries your name
You were everyone’s comfort
But you loved me just the same
(Outro)
[Fingerpick slowly, fade]
Three times the light
Three times the grace
Three times you saved me
In the darkest place
You were everyone’s comfort
But you were my home
You were everyone’s comfort
But you loved me just the same
(Outro)
[Fingerpick slowly, fade]
Three times the light
Three times the grace
Three times you saved me
In the darkest place
You were everyone’s comfort
But you were my home
