(Soft Acoustic Intro – rain against windows, distant porch wind chimes) (Verse 1) There were nights I sat awake till sunrise Front porch cold beneath my boots Trying to outrun memories That always seemed to know the route Two A.M. and dead silence House asleep except my mind And Lord knows there were moments I thought I’d never leave those nights behind I carried things I couldn’t explain Buried deep where words don’t go But somehow she could see the weight Even when I never let it show (Pre-Chorus) She never pushed too hard Never asked me for details She just stayed (Chorus) She loved me through it Through the nights I couldn’t sleep Through the storms inside my head And the shadows chasing me When I felt too far gone Too broken to be fixed She held onto the man I was Till I could find him again Yeah some people save your life Without ever knowing they did She loved me through it (Verse 2) Sometimes healing looked like silence Coffee sitting side by side Sometimes it was just her hand reaching over When the nightmares hit at night She learned the language of my distance The look behind my eyes And somehow she knew the difference Between needing space and needing life Lord I know it wasn’t easy Loving someone carrying ghosts But she never made me feel ashamed For battles nobody else could see (Pre-Chorus) And over time The darkness stopped feeling so permanent (Chorus) Cause she loved me through it Through the anger and the fear Through the nights I walked alone Trying to disappear When I couldn’t find the strength To believe I’d ever heal She kept reminding me softly I was more than what I’d seen Yeah some people hold your heart together While you’re learning how to live She loved me through it (Bridge – stripped down/emotional) And maybe love ain’t fixing someone Maybe it’s sitting with them in the dark Until morning finally shows up again (Slow build – warm electric swells) Cause wars don’t always end when soldiers come home Sometimes they fade slowly over years But having someone willing to walk beside you Makes the road feel less lonely (Final Chorus – emotional lift) Yeah she loved me through it Through the nights I still fight sleep Through old memories that sneak back in When life finally feels at peace And every morning I wake beside her I thank God she never let go Cause I honestly don’t know who I’d be If she hadn’t stayed through it all Yeah some angels don’t have halos Sometimes they’re just tired women loving stubborn men And somehow… Saving them anyway (Outro – soft acoustic fade) She loved me through it… And that’s the reason I’m still here.
