[Verse 1] I learned about compassion From the times I found no grace. Learned to recognize true kindness From the love I had to chase. I learned the weight of silence, And the damage words can do. Now I speak to lift another, ‘Cause I know what they’ve been through. [Verse 2] I look into my lover’s eyes And cherish what we’ve made. Every ordinary moment Is a gift that doesn’t fade. And when I see somebody With a sorrow they can’t name, I don’t turn away in judgment, I remember my own pain. [Pre-Chorus] I wouldn’t wish those years on anyone, Wouldn’t ask to live them twice. But I found a deeper meaning On the other side of life. [Chorus] I blame you for the beauty, For the love I learned to give. For the arms that hold my loved ones, For the way I’ve learned to live. I don’t thank you for the hurting, But there’s something I can see— I blame you for the beauty That survived inside of me. [Bridge] The wound was never justice. The pain was never owed. But I can choose what grows there When I walk a different road. Life isn’t always happening to me, The way I thought before. Even in the darkest moments, I can find an open door. [Final Chorus] I blame you for the beauty, For the man I’ve come to be. For the love I give so freely, For the strength to set pain free. I don’t celebrate the suffering, I don’t call the wrong things right. But the darkness couldn’t take away My capacity for light. [Outro] Every soul has known a sorrow, Every heart has felt the rain. May the love we give tomorrow Be much greater than our pain.
