Loved Me Back to Life

Verse 1

I used to hide behind the brightest parts of me,

Smilin’ like a preacher while I drowned in apathy.

You saw the cracks before they split across my skin,

Held the pieces in your hands while I kept pullin’ them back in.

I lied to you with silence more than words I ever spoke,

You loved a ghost of who I was — God, you deserved someone whole.

Pre-Chorus

And I swear I didn’t see it then,

How you were bleeding just to stand,

Lovin’ me was breakin’ you

More than I could understand.

Chorus

You loved me back to life,

You pulled me through the pain.

You kept the fire burning

When I threw out the flame.

Every part of who I am

Is what your hands remade —

You loved me back to life

And pulled me through again.

Verse 2

I remember every night I came home angry, tired, and cold,

You were fightin’ for our future while I broke beneath the load.

You forgave me for the secrets that I tried to keep unsaid,

For the love temptations that I let inside my head.

I swear to God I hated me more than you ever could,

Yet you held the line for us in ways no other woman would.

Pre-Chorus

You kept the vows I twisted up,

You carried both our lives at once,

I didn’t earn the love you gave,

But damn, you gave enough for us.

Chorus

You loved me back to life,

You pulled me through the pain.

You kept the fire burning

When I threw out the flame.

Every part of who I am

Is what your hands remade —

You loved me back to life

And pulled me through again.

Bridge

There was a night I fell too far and slipped into the deep,

Every memory we made felt like a dream I couldn't keep.

I watched our lives like vapor drifting into nothingness and night,

Realized you were the meaning that pulled me back to life.

I still fear the day the world might pull you from my side —

If love is what turns breathing into living,

Then you kept my soul alive.

Final Chorus

You loved me back to life,

When I was barely breathin’.

You kept the fire burning

Long after I stopped believin’.

If there's anything left of me

That's worth holdin' or worth keepin’ —

It's ‘cause you loved me back to life…

Now your breath keeps me breathin’.
