Intro: One day… You’ll understand… Verse 1: You’re too young to see it now Why I worry, why, how I get so strict, I get so tired Why I never seem inspired But every rule I ever made Was to keep your heart safe Every “no” you didn’t like Was me trying to do it right Chorus: Maybe one day you’ll thank me For all the nights I couldn’t sleep For all the times I put you first Even when it really hurt You’ll see the love behind the pain Why I stood out in the rain And maybe then you’ll understand I did the best I can Verse 2: I’m not perfect, I get it wrong Sometimes I don’t feel that strong But I never stopped trying for you Even when I didn’t know what to do I gave my youth, I gave my time Gave you pieces of my life And I’d do it all again Just to see you smile, my friend Bridge: If someday you turn out okay That’ll be my saving grace That’s the only thing I need To know my love was worth the bleed Outro (emotional, soft): You don’t have to say it now… Just live a life… you’re proud about…
