Since That Night

You weren't supposed to mean that much
But your laugh cut through like a healing touch
I wasn't looking but I still got found
One glance from you turned my whole world around
You asked my name but it felt like more
Like you saw a man worth waiting for
Since that night

I talk slower and I breathe deep
I keep your picture where I used to keep
My pain and pride
Tucked outta sight
But I've been soft and strong
Since that night
Since that night

I used to leave before hearts could care
Kept my past packed up and my soul stripped bare
But you sat still didn't flinch or run
Just smiled like you already knew I was the one
You didn't fix me you just stayed
And somehow girl that changed everything
Since that night

I don't reach for things that fade
I don't hide behind the mess I made
You lit my dark with steady light
I've been a better man
Since that night
Since that night

Cold beer sweats
Old bar glow
Tired smile
Hiding low
Your eyes caught
What I hide
Broke my silence
With your light

No more masks
No more flight
I found truth
Since that night
Since that night

You showed up when I'd checked out
Pulled the"me" I buried out
Didn't promise me forever
Just stayed awhile
But it only took one look
To change my style
Since that night

I've been chasing more than air
I've been fighting clean
I've learned to care
You reached the parts
I tried to fight
And I thank God I lived
Since that night
Since that night

Yeah, I thank God
Since that night
Since that night
