The Steady Hand That Saved Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some hearts learn early what it means to hold on Some find their way through the dark before the dawn I was running on empty, barely standing tall Convinced that kind of love didn't exist at all Then a quiet steady hand reached out for mine And everything I knew got redefined [Chorus] You showed me love is more than just a word It's the safest thing I've ever heard It's loyalty that never walks away It's laughter at the end of every day You gave me back the hope I thought I'd lost And you'd do it all again no matter what it cost [Verse 2] I was shattered glass pretending I was fine Searching for my worth in every mirror's line But Brad, you looked at me and saw what I could not You saw the woman underneath the broken parts I fought You held my daughters close like they were always yours Sixteen and fourteen, and you opened every door [Chorus] You showed me love is more than just a word It's the safest thing I've ever heard It's loyalty that never walks away It's laughter at the end of every day You gave me back the hope I thought I'd lost And you'd do it all again no matter what it cost [Bridge] I was afraid that love would always hurt But Brad, you proved that I deserve A hand to hold through every storm and fall A man who chose to love us all [Verse 3] You taught my girls what a real man looks like A hug each day and showing up each night You turned a house of healing into a home And made damn sure we'd never feel alone Still to this day you make me laugh until I cry Brad, you're every answer to my why [Chorus] You showed me love is more than just a word It's the safest thing I've ever heard It's loyalty that never walks away It's laughter at the end of every day You gave me back the hope I thought I'd lost And you'd do it all again no matter what it cost [Outro] So here's to you, the love I never knew I'd find The steady heart that gave me back my mine
