[Verse 1] You met me halfway through a difficult year With a laugh that loosened the knot in my chest We traded our stories on the walk home And the miles felt shorter with you there [Pre-Chorus] Some doors open wide, then close in time But what passed between us stays alive [Chorus] You changed the shape of my days Left a little more room in my heart Even if we don’t travel forever I’m grateful for where we are The joy, the courage, the way I grew Are pieces I carry because I knew you [Verse 2] There’s a photo from that crowded kitchen Your eyes half shut from laughing too hard I remember the plans we couldn’t keep And how we still made a start [Pre-Chorus] We don’t have to promise we’ll never part To know you mattered, to know you left a mark [Chorus] You changed the shape of my days Left a little more room in my heart Even if we don’t travel forever I’m grateful for where we are The joy, the courage, the way I grew Are pieces I carry because I knew you [Bridge] Nothing good is wasted Not a word, not a mile I can bless what was between us And still go on with a smile [Final Chorus] You changed the shape of my days And gave a new measure to my heart Even if we don’t travel forever I’m grateful we traveled this far The joy, the courage, the way I grew Are pieces I carry because I knew you [Outro] Because I knew you I carry the good
