Slow, warm acoustic fingerpicking with a gentle piano melody weaving in the background) [Verse 1] I can't imagine what it'd be like, Without you in my life. I never thought I'd love again, To see past the hurt and strife. I tried to block the world away, With a heart split right in two. But all that changed that fateful day, The very day that I met you. [Chorus] I put up walls to block out love, But somehow you figured out a way. You promised you would always be there, And right here with me you stayed. You’ve held my hand straight through the worst, When things couldn't go more wrong. And you stood by me in the good times too, Right by my side all along. [Verse 2] Now when I look back down the road, At the scars I used to hide. I see how you carried half the load, Just walking by my side. You didn't run when the storms rolled in, You just anchored in the deep. You taught a broken man to trust again, With a promise you would keep. [Chorus] I put up walls to block out love, But somehow you figured out a way. You promised you would always be there, And right here with me you stayed. You’ve held my hand straight through the worst, When things couldn't go more wrong. And you stood by me in the good times too, Right by my side all along. [Bridge] In my life, I've made my share of mistakes, Some were big, and others small. But the one mistake I didn't make, Was letting you break through that wall. [Guitar & Piano Solo] (A soaring, emotional pedal steel solo that blends into a tender piano melody, reflecting the healing of a broken heart) [Outro] Thank you for always being there, Like my angel from above. Without you I never would've known, The meaning of true love. Yeah, without you I never would've known... The meaning of true love. (Gentle acoustic strum fades out softly)
