Roses And A Second Chance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was a guarded heart behind a screen Done with fairy tales, done with in-between Just a mama holding it together on her own Swore I'd never let nobody close again Two weeks was all I'd give most any man Then you showed up at my door and brought me roses [Chorus] You are my comfort, you are my calm The steady heartbeat when the world feels wrong You gave me shelter, you gave me ground In you, Babe, I finally found my home [Verse 2] A month went by and I just knew somehow I said stay with me, don't leave this house Two boys became brothers underneath one roof Then a little girl made us a family of five You traded sergeant stripes for bedtime fights And built a kingdom out of patience and the truth [Chorus] You are my comfort, you are my calm The steady heartbeat when the world feels wrong You gave me shelter, you gave me ground In you, Babe, I finally found my home [Bridge] Eleven years and I still catch those light blue eyes The bravest, safest arms I've ever known You pretend you're not the selfless kind But Brandon, love, you've always shown [Verse 3] They say that red roses fade and turn to dust But ours just kept on blooming into trust You healed the parts of me I thought were gone The strongest man I know is soft enough to stay And every single morning that I wake I thank God I gave you longer than two weeks [Chorus] You are my comfort, you are my calm The steady heartbeat when the world feels wrong You gave me shelter, you gave me ground In you, Brandon, I finally found my home [Outro] So here's my hand, here's my forever vow Brandon, Babe, I'm coming down the aisle to you now
