I know there were nights you cried alone,
While I was too blind to see.
You carried all the weight between us,
When it should've been on me.
You gave your heart without a question,
I answered with my fear.
Now every silence reminds me
Of everything you tried to hear.
I can't erase the tears I've caused,
Or turn back all those days.
But if you'll let me stand beside you,
I'll spend my life changing my ways.
I'll be better, not just for a moment,
Not with words that fade away.
I'll love you in the little things,
Every single day.
You're not just someone that I found,
You're the reason I found myself.
If I have one thing left to prove,
It's that I'll always choose you.
Because you are my home,
The calm inside the storm.
The one I'd fight the world to keep,
The one I'll never leave.
I finally see the love you carried,
The quiet strength behind your smile.
You stayed when walking would've been easier,
You believed in me all the while.
So let me be the hand that holds you,
When your world begins to shake.
Let me be the promise that I keep,
Not another one I'll break.
I don't need another lifetime
To know what matters most.
Every road I've ever taken
Leads me back to your soul.
If tomorrow asks me who I am,
I'll say the truth without a doubt:
I'm the man you taught to love,
And I never want to live without.
I'll be better with every sunrise,
With every breath and every kiss.
I'll remind you that you're treasured,
In every ordinary moment we live.
You're the prayer I never knew I needed,
The light that pulled me through the dark.
If my heart has only one direction,
It will always be where you are.
So take these hands,
Take this life,
Take every dream I've yet to chase.
Because loving you
Isn't just part of my story...
It is the reason I became the person I want to be.
And if I ever fall again,
I'll rise with your love in my heart.
This time...
I'll love you the way you always deserved.
