Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] [Husband]
Why’s the kitchen so quiet tonight?
You’ve been starin’ past me all evening
If I crossed a line, just say the word
I’m man enough to hear the reason
Was it somethin’ I forgot again?
Some little thing I didn’t see?
Tell me where I lost you, baby
Tell me what you need from me

[Chorus] [Wife]
You don’t hear me when I’m talkin’
You just nod and turn away
I try to tell you what I’m feelin’
But it’s like my words just fade
I’m not askin’ for perfection
Just a heart that leans in close
It ain’t the big things that are breakin’ me
It’s feelin’ like I’m alone

[Verse 2] [Wife]
Why can’t you hold me without that phone?
Why’s your mind always somewhere else?
I don’t need roses every Friday
I just need to feel I matter to you myself
Be the man I know you are
Not just the one who pays the bills
I need your arms, I need your time
I need the love you say I feel

[Chorus] [Husband]
You’re right, I haven’t listened
Like you deserved me to
I let this world get loud around me
And it pulled my eyes from you
But you’re my anchor in the storm
The safe place where I stand
I gave you all my fragile heart
And trusted it in your hands
I’m sorry I’ve been driftin’
Girl, I love you more than words can prove

[Verse 3] [Duet]
Her: We’re standin’ on a thin line
Him: But it ain’t too far gone
Her: I don’t wanna lose what we built
Him: We’ve fought too hard, too long
Together: We’re still two hearts beatin’
Underneath the hurt and pride
If love’s still here between us
Then there’s hope still on our side

[Final Chorus] [Duet]
We’ll put our faith in somethin’ bigger
Than the words we let slip by
Lay our broken pieces down
And let forgiveness be the guide
God can mend what we have fractured
If we let Him lead us through
We’ll fight for what He gave us
And make it strong and new
With His grace and with our love
We’ll be the beautiful He planned us to

[Outro] [Soft Duet]
Still us… still tryin’
Still prayin’ side by side
