Lyrics

So let me love you like I’ve never been hurt before,
Let me give you every single thing I never thought I could.
You are the answer to a prayer I forgot I was praying,
You are the kind of love I didn’t believe existed—
But God, I’m so glad it does.

I wasn’t looking for you when you found me.
I wasn’t ready, I wasn’t even close—
But you walked into my life like you already knew
Where every broken piece of me was supposed to go.
You didn’t fix me. You just loved me
Until I remembered how to love myself again.
And I swear, the moment I stopped searching
Is the moment everything I ever needed began.

Now I’m standing in the calm you bring,
Like my whole heart finally learned to breathe.
If this is real, don’t let it leave.

So let me love you like I’ve never been hurt before,
Let me give you every single thing I never thought I could.
You are the answer to a prayer I forgot I was praying,
You are the kind of love I didn’t believe existed—
But God, I’m so glad it does.

Can I be honest with you for a second?
There are nights I just lay here watching you sleep,
And I can’t believe you chose me—out of everyone,
Out of every door you could have walked through,
You walked through mine.
You turned my overthinking into peace,
My worst days into something I can survive,
And I need you to know—you are not just someone I love.
You are the reason I understand what love even means.

So if my voice shakes when I say your name,
It’s just my heart trying to catch up with grace.
Stay right here—don’t move away.

So let me love you like I’ve never been hurt before,
Let me give you every single thing I never thought I could.
You are the answer to a prayer I forgot I was praying,
You are the kind of love I didn’t believe existed—
But God, I’m so glad it does.

I know I don’t always say the right things.
I know sometimes my silence speaks louder than my words.
But I need you to hear this and never forget it—
There is nowhere in this world I would rather be
Than right here next to you, figuring out forever.
You didn’t just give me butterflies.
You gave me a home inside a person,
And that is something I will spend my whole life protecting.

So let me love you like I’ve never been hurt before,
Let me give you every single thing I never thought I could.
You are the answer to a prayer I forgot I was praying,
You are the kind of love I didn’t believe existed—
But God, I’m so glad it does.

And if you ever wonder whether you’re enough—
Come back to this and remember:
You are not just enough.
You are everything.

A song for someone on your mind

It can make a thoughtful dedication for the person you never expected to meet, or a little anniversary reminder of how it all began. Send it with the detail that makes the story yours: the first conversation, the chance meeting, or the moment you realized this was becoming something important.

A few words to send with it

I wasn’t expecting someone like you. Now I look back at how we met and feel grateful that our lives crossed when they did. This made me think of our beginning.

This is an original suggested dedication, not a quotation from the song.

Keep the feeling close

Some songs become part of a relationship: something to send, return to, or associate with a particular person. Listen whenever this one feels like yours.
