You deserve that (in your arms that night)

[Verse 1]
Ran into her and him downtown,
Didn’t even mean to look around
But there she was, his arms where mine had been
Felt like the wind got knocked right out again.

I didn’t say a word, just drove
Heart in my throat, pretending I was whole
You didn’t ask, you just opened your door
Let me fall apart on your bedroom floor.

[Chorus]
And I’m trying to let go,
Trying to be more than what you already know
You stayed with me that night
When I had nothing left to show
You know I still miss her,
But you never make me choose
You just hold me like I’m worth it
And you deserve that.
Yeah, you deserve that.

[Verse 2]
You didn’t flinch at all my mess
Didn’t need me to be anything but wrecked
You just let me be in your quiet way,
No pressure, no questions, you just stayed.

You laughed when I finally spoke,
Wiped the tears and lit my smoke
I don’t think I’ve ever known
Someone who’d sit with ghosts they don’t even own.

[Chorus]
I’m still trying to let go,
To give you more than half a soul
You’re patient with the silence,
Even when it takes its toll
You know I still miss her,
But you believe in something true
You’re the calm I never asked for
And you deserve that.
God, you deserve that.

[Bridge]
If I ever find the words,
You’ll be the first to know
But for now, I’ll hold your hand
And try to let her go.

[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m still learning how to breathe,
Still fighting what she left in me
But your arms that night were everything
I didn’t know I’d need
You know I still miss her,
But you love me through the bruise
And I’m trying to be better
Because you deserve that.
More than anyone…
You deserve that.
