[Intro — Spoken] Baby, sometimes I wonder If the things I make ever show you Everything I'm carrying in here. Words don't always get it right... But I keep trying. [Verse 1 — Mellow Country Rap] Another midnight staring at the ceiling, Trying to find a way to tell you what I'm feeling. Heart full of thunder, but my voice comes out low, There's a whole world inside I don't know how to show. I say I love you, then I second-guess the sound, Like the biggest part of me never makes it out. So I pick up my guitar, let the quiet settle in, Close my eyes, take a breath, let my heart begin. [Pre-Chorus — Melodic] Every time I think I've fallen short, Another little melody comes pouring out. Maybe love ain't something I can measure, Maybe that's what all these songs are about. [Chorus — Soulful] When the words ain't enough, I make something new, Put my heart in a song, paint the stars around you. Every color, every chord, every dream I bring to life, Is a little piece of all I hold inside. I ain't got perfect words, but baby, this is true, Every road inside my heart leads back to you. When I can't explain how much I love you, I give you all I've got— It's all I know to do. [Verse 2 — Smooth Country Rap] I paint us in the moonlight, write our names across the sky, Build a thousand little worlds where our dreams come alive. Every picture holds a feeling, every rhythm holds a prayer, Every late-night melody says, baby, I'm right here. And I get so frustrated when the colors don't come right, When a line won't hold the love that's keeping me up at night. But then I catch you smiling at the things my hands create, And the weight I've been carrying starts to fall away. You find beauty in the places where I only saw the flaws, And remind me that the feeling matters more than getting applause. [Pre-Chorus — Tender] Maybe I was chasing something perfect When perfect never mattered much to you. Maybe all the love I've tried to show you Was shining in the little things I do. [Chorus — Soulful] When the words ain't enough, I make something new, Put my heart in a song, paint the stars around you. Every color, every chord, every dream I bring to life, Is a little piece of all I hold inside. I ain't got perfect words, but baby, this is true, Every road inside my heart leads back to you. When I can't explain how much I love you, I give you all I've got— It's all I know to do. [Verse 3 — Reflective Country Soul] Funny how the little things become something grand, When you quit trying to force 'em and just open up your hands. All the songs and all the pictures, all those midnight melodies, Grew into a wild garden blooming between you and me. Never planned the beauty, never knew what it could be, Never dreamed that loving you would bring this much out of me. I was trying hard to show you what my voice could never say, And found pieces of myself along the way. Now I look at all we've gathered, every memory, every tune, And see the love was growing while I worried it was too soon. [Bridge — Stripped Down, Emotional] I thought I had to give you something flawless, Something worthy of the love you give to me. But you never asked for perfect, You just loved the heart beneath. And all this time I thought I was showing you my heart, Through every song and every work of art... Turns out, baby, I was showing you my soul. And somehow you made the broken edges whole. [Final Chorus — Gentle Emotional Lift] So when the words ain't enough, I'll make something new, Keep pouring out my heart in everything I do. Not to prove that I deserve you, not some grand display, It's just how my love keeps finding its own way. Never could've dreamed what all this love would grow into, Or the beauty that came naturally from loving you. I don't need the perfect words, 'cause now I finally see: The sweetest thing this love has made Is who you've brought out of me. [Outro — Spoken, Acoustic Guitar] Sweetheart... Every song, every picture, Every little world I made for you Was a piece of my heart finding its way home. And it became more beautiful than I imagined. I love you, baby. And loving you... That's all I know to do.
