Lyrics

Verse 1
You never made a show of loving
You just did what had to be
Kept the lights on through the hard months
And the worry off of me
When my courage started failing
You spoke sense without control
You did not try to own my weakness
You just helped me carry hope
I remember every morning
You went tired and came back strong
You made sacrifice look ordinary
But I knew what it had cost
Chorus
For all the ways you loved me
When nobody else could see
For the nights you held the pieces
I was too ashamed to keep
For the truth you gave me gently
For the faith you placed in us
I may never find the language
But I need you to know this much
I am grateful
For all the ways you loved me
Verse 2
You were never good at speeches
But your actions spoke in full
You remembered what I needed
Even when your hands were full
You stood beside my independence
Never asked me to be small
You were proud when I succeeded
Like my victory was ours
And when anger came between us
You returned to make it right
You taught me love is not avoiding
It is staying for the truth
Chorus
For all the ways you loved me
When nobody else could see
For the nights you held the pieces
I was too ashamed to keep
For the truth you gave me gently
For the faith you placed in us
I may never find the language
But I need you to know this much
I am grateful
For all the ways you loved me

Final Chorus
For all the ways you loved me
Through the woman I became
For protecting what was sacred
Without placing me in chains
For the home we built from nothing
For the years you never rushed
I may never pay you back
But I will never call it luck
I am grateful
For all the ways you loved me
Outro — Restrained Ad-libs
I saw it, baby
Even when I did not say it
Every burden
Every promise
Every time you stayed
Thank you
For loving me in ways
That words could never repay
