I try to tell you I’m broke You laugh as if I just told a joke I try to tell you don’t waste your time You tell me the decision isn’t mine So I say it one more time Hoping this time to change your mind Oh oh Then you wrap your arms around me Tell me you’re so glad you found me That there’s no one else above me Ohhh I just don’t know why you love me Oh it’s been ten years Since god sent you here To stand beside me And hold me near So why do I fight it But You love me despite it And though it doesn’t happen much Just every time we touch The lightning and the thunder Still fills my heart with wonder Oh the mountains have no splendor That compare to when we’re tender And it’s only been ten years I wake up tangled in the doubt You kiss my forehead and shut it out I count the cracks inside my soul You say they only make me whole I pull away when storms roll in You hold me closer through the din Oh oh Your quiet strength just calms the sea You see the mess of me Turn my broken into poetry Ohhh I still don’t know why you love me We’ve walked through fire and pouring rain Watched dreams get lost and born again I’ve been the storm, you’ve been the peace The only anchor that won’t release Some days I’m heavy, some days I’m light You love me steady through the night Oh oh Ten years of grace I don’t deserve You make forever feel like it’s just the first Every scar and every curve Ohhh somehow you still choose me Final Chorus (with slight lift) Yeah it’s been ten years Since God sent you here To stand beside me And hold me near I’ll stop fighting it ’Cause you love me despite it And every single time we touch The lightning and the thunder Still fills my heart with wonder No mountain, sea, or sky up yonder Could ever match when we surrender And it’s only been ten years… Just ten beautiful years
