Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You held my face between your hands
Like you could read what I wouldn’t say
I’ve known men who promised forever
Then packed their feelings before daybreak
So when you tell me I’m your woman
Don’t dress the truth in something sweet
I need a love that keeps its balance
When life gets heavy underneath
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t only reach for me
When my dress fits your desire
Reach for me when I’m discouraged
When my confidence gets tired
[Chorus]
Love me past the morning
Past the perfume and the wine
Past the nights when everything is easy
And your hand fits into mine
When I’m difficult to understand
Don’t leave my heart behind
Love me past the morning
And I’ll love you for a lifetime
[Verse 2]
I’ll learn the weight behind your silence
I’ll know when pride has closed your mouth
I won’t make you beg for tenderness
Or use your weakness to walk out
I’ll be honest when I’m hurting
I won’t punish you with distance
But I need your arms around me
With intention and persistence
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t just call me beautiful
When the room is dressed in blue
Tell me I still matter
When I’m standing there confused
[Chorus]
Love me past the morning
Past the perfume and the wine
Past the nights when everything is easy
And your hand fits into mine
When I’m difficult to understand
Don’t leave my heart behind
Love me past the morning
And I’ll love you for a lifetime
[Bridge]
I don’t need a perfect man
I need one who doesn’t disappear
One who puts his anger down
And lets his woman pull him near
I’ll give you every honest part
No secret door, no halfway heart
Just promise when the weather changes
You’ll remember who we are
[Final Chorus]
Love me past the morning
When my voice begins to shake
When the fear I thought I buried
Starts appearing on my face
Hold me closer, speak with patience
Tell me we’re still worth the fight
Love me past the morning
Past the darkness, into light
[Outro / Ad-libs]
Don’t stop choosing me
When loving me gets hard
Stay right here and talk to me
Don’t turn away your heart
Love me when I’m trembling
Love me when I’m strong
Love me past the morning
And I’ll love you all life long
Please… love me past the morning
Don’t make another promise
Unless you’re staying past the morning
