[Verse 1] I’ve watched my brother walk through fire Carry more than most men do Some days he barely held it together Some days he almost came unglued Then you showed up in the middle of it Steady when the ground felt thin Didn’t try to fix every broken piece Just stayed and let him breathe again [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know every chapter I wasn’t there for every fight But I see the way he softens When he talks about you at night [Chorus] I’m grateful for you, Charly For the way you keep him grounded Grateful for you, Charly For the calm you bring around him This song ain’t perfect, but the feeling is true On this birthday I just want to say I’m grateful he found you [Verse 2] Life gets loud and plans fall through Birthdays sneak up, time gets tight He wants to get it right for you Even when his head’s a mess tonight I’ve told him keep it simple Keep it real, keep it kind The best gifts aren’t always wrapped up They’re the ones that stay behind [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know every chapter I wasn’t there for every fight But I see the way he softens When he talks about you at night [Chorus] I’m grateful for you, Charly For the way you keep him grounded Grateful for you, Charly For the calm you bring around him This song ain’t perfect, but the feeling is true On this birthday I just want to say I’m grateful he found you [Bridge] From the outside looking in It’s clear you’re good for him Not because you solved the hard days But because you stayed through them That’s rarer than it should be And worth more than any gift So tonight I’m just a friend Sending love across the distance [Final Chorus] I’m grateful for you, Charly For the way you keep him grounded Grateful for you, Charly For the calm you bring around him This song ain’t perfect, but the feeling is true On this birthday I just want to say I’m grateful he found you [Outro] Happy birthday, Charly Keep being you He’s better with you in it And I’m grateful too
