Now sit right there, I need to talk for a while

Let me tell you what happened to my smile

It’s a long damn story, I hope you’ve got some time

It probably started back when I was a child.

See my mom had these dudes that never loved her enough

Always in and out, like our door couldnt stay shut

Comin and goin from our lives as they pleased

Like they were the medicine for a pain she needed eased

I didn’t see my mom for the queen that she could be

Cuz no man ever treated her like a queen

Walking all over her like she’d never leave

Even if they made her cry, and even when they made her bleed

I can’t help but think this was the blueprint for my life

Never appreciated women, no matter how hard they tried

I took for granted their love, and only gave back a lie

I always hoped I’d keep love sometime before I die

So I grew up, never knowing the value of love

Always needed more when one is more than enough

Let someone into my life, settle in and try to grow

Always keeping hidden things she could never know

Like sayin I love you and giving my time to someone else

Leaving her at home alone, not caring how she felt

Even when times were good and my smile made her mealt

I couldn’t stop wondering about the cards I wasn’t dealt

Yeah we were happy and things seem to be strong

But I love you ended up being a lie all along

Convinced them all to ignore that something was wrong

Just so my happy life could go on

Maybe some day I can let enough be what it is

And focus on the little things that my life can give

Love can be enough, and it can be right in front of you

Just open your eyes with your heart and see the truth

What more can I say to the woman that has saved me

Promised us a life and she’s gonna take me

Away from anything that would ever fuckin break me

I thank her everyday for the man that she makes me

So I gave her all I had, like my last name

Some say it was too soon, that’s a damn shame

I love her more than any words I can say

I’ll be fighting for us up until my last day

I hear them say that it’s just another young love

Nothin they can say will ever fuckin touch us

Don’t know how I found you, probably just some dumb luck

You’ll always be the drug that I never get enough of

Got you in my veins, running through my blood stream

Are you what it beats for, yeah you fuckin must be

Got my heart askin why are we so lucky

She hears it and replies follow me, I promise you can trust me

Here we are, she said yes when I popped the question

Had my dad standing with me as my best man

Long gone are the days of me feeling less than

Some days I have to cry because I just can’t

Believe this woman would let me in her life

And put a ring on her finger and become my wife

With so many wrong decisions, she’s the one i got right

With her in my future it just looks so damn bright

So I put my shades on and I take her little hand

Knowin, right beside me, is where she’s gonna stand

She’s a little short to lean on but I know that I can

If ever I should need it, I don’t even have to ask

I don’t ever have to wonder if she’s gonna be there

Even when I’m tired, even when I get scared

I don’t need to have a worry, I don’t even have a care

So here’s to you and me and the life we’re gonna share

One more time in case you didn’t really hear me

Hard on the outside but I love her dearly

seen the monster I can be still she doesn’t fear me

I wouldn’t be alive with out her always near me

I take my girl and we’ll ride off in the sun set

So much has happened but the story isn’t done yet

She’s kisses me and I wonder did she fuckin feel that?

She looks at me like baby you ain’t seen nothin yet

She looks up at me and I wonder for the millionth time, “Does she know?”

Does she know that I constantly run my fingers through her hair because it reminds me that she’s still here, she hasn’t disappeared yet

I kiss her forehead because it’s her mind that I’ve fallen in love with

I kiss her cheeks because it’s her smile that lights up my entire life

I kiss her ears because she’s the only one who listens without any judgement

I kiss her forearms because her scars only add to the beauty she possesses

I kiss her chest because it holds her heart, the only thing that can shatter mine

I kiss her stomach because she claims she’s fat so I need to show her that I love her for what she has

I kiss her thighs, not because I want to devour what’s between them, but because I respect it

I kiss her calf’s because they’re strong and are willing to carry me when I can’t get up

But ...

I’m terrified of her feet because if they ever choose to walk out of my life

Life as I know it will be hell
