Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I slept on wooden benches
Rain drippin' through that roof
Counted every crack in the ceiling
Like it could offer proof
Cold beans from a rusty tin can
Shakin' hands
Shiverin' through the night
Thought the world was made of trouble
Never dreamed it'd turn out right
[Chorus]
If it wasn't for what I've been through
I wouldn't love this life like I do
All that hurt and all that sorrow
Taught me how sweet today can bloom
Misery made me love life
At the end of all of it
It's true
If it wasn't for what I've been through
I wouldn't love this life like I do (oh, I do)
[Verse 2]
I kissed some bitter-hearted lovers
Watched 'em slam them screen doors shut
Learned the cost of chasin' shadows
Got these stories in my gut
Now coffee steam feels like a blessing
Sunrise paintin' up that fence
Every small good thing I’m holdin'
'Cause I know what hunger meant
[Chorus]
If it wasn't for what I've been through
I wouldn't love this life like I do
Every scar and every breakdown
Turned my bitter into truth
Misery made me love life
At the end of all of it
It's true
If it wasn't for what I've been through
I wouldn't love this life like I do (mmm, like I do)
[Bridge]
Now I laugh a little louder
Cry when the moment calls
I dance in my crooked kitchen
Bare feet on them faded floors
I bless the days that broke me
'Cause they opened up my eyes
You can taste the gold in gravel
When you've swallowed enough nights
[Chorus]
If it wasn't for what I've been through
I wouldn't love this life like I do
All that darkness I walked straight through
Gave this morning deeper hue
Misery made me love life
At the end of all of it
It's true (so true)
If it wasn't for what I've been through
I wouldn't love this life like I do (yeah, I do)
