Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 You kissed me goodbye in the porch light glow Said, “Don’t wait up, I don’t know how late I’ll go” That radio crackle already in your head While I’m layin’ here alone in our bed Boots by the door, coffee gone cold Another long night that never gets old I try to be strong, but some nights I break Wonderin’ how much this heart can take Pre-Chorus ‘Cause I didn’t just fall for the man you are I fell for the job that keeps us apart Chorus Loving a badge ain’t easy at all It’s prayin’ every night you make it home when I call It’s missin’ your touch, it’s fear I can’t hide It’s holdin’ my breath with every siren outside It’s learnin’ to live with the what-ifs and maybes It’s fightin’ a job that don’t ever save me But I’d choose you again through the hurt and the crazy Even though loving a badge… ain’t easy Verse 2 Your mama warned me what this life would do Said, “Girl, that badge’ll take pieces of you” I see it now in the lines on your face In the way you go quiet, driftin’ away You carry the weight of the world you see But you don’t always bring it home to me I reach for your hand, you pull back slow Like there’s things in your mind I’ll never know Pre-Chorus And I hate that the job’s what you’re living for But I love the man underneath it more Chorus Loving a badge ain’t easy at all It’s prayin’ every night you make it home when I call It’s missin’ your touch, it’s fear I can’t hide It’s holdin’ my breath with every siren outside It’s learnin’ to live with the what-ifs and maybes It’s fightin’ a job that don’t ever save me But I’d choose you again through the hurt and the crazy Even though loving a badge… ain’t easy Bridge I see the hero the whole town knows But I see the man when the door stays closed And I’d give anything just to ease that load Even if it means lettin’ some of you go Breakdown Yeah, I love you enough to stand in the rain But that don’t mean it don’t hurt like hell through the pain Final Chorus Loving a badge ain’t easy, it’s true It’s givin’ my heart to a life that owns you It’s late night calls and empty space It’s fallin’ asleep without your embrace It’s strength I didn’t know I had inside me It’s holdin’ on tight when the fear gets heavy But I’d choose you again, yeah I’d still stay Even though loving a badge… feels this way Outro So I’ll leave the light on, like I always do And pray every night it leads me back to you ‘Cause loving a badge… is loving you
