(Intro – spoken) Yeah… I had you in my prayers, Thought that meant forever. Guess sometimes God answers different. (Verse 1) I thought you were the one, yeah I stamped it in stone, Walk with me through this earth, flesh and bone. I was talking to God like, “Yeah, this the plan,” Now I’m talking to God like, “Help me understand.” I gave you my heart, no insurance, no guard, Loved you like faith when it’s quiet and hard. Now I’m standing alone, but I see it clear, Some angels just walk with you part of the year. (Pre-Chorus) I was praying for forever, God gave me a season, Still don’t like the ending, but I trust the reason. (Chorus) Thank God for you, even though it hurt, Even though the love didn’t make it to church. I cried in the dark, learned how to kneel, Learned what’s fake, learned what’s real. Thought you were my rib, thought you were my truth, But God had a plan bigger than me and you. (Verse 2) We was dancing in the light, now it’s ashes and dust, Funny how love and pain both come from trust. I tried to hold on, God said, “Let it go,” Sometimes losing someone’s how your spirit grows. You were a mirror, showed me my flaws, Showed me my strength, showed me my God. If love is a lesson, then I passed that class, Still failing some nights when I think ‘bout the past. (Pre-Chorus) I ain’t mad at you, I’m mad at the dream, Mad at the version of us I had in my dreams. (Chorus) Thank God for you, even though it hurt, Even though the love didn’t make it to church. I cried in the dark, learned how to kneel, Learned what’s fake, learned what’s real. Thought you were my rib, thought you were my truth, But God had a plan bigger than me and you. (Bridge – spoken, romantic) Maybe you weren’t meant to stay… Maybe you were meant to wake me up. Some people come as blessings, Some come as prayers you don’t get to keep. I loved you heavy, But God loves me more. (Chorus – stripped, emotional) Thank God for you, I mean that for real, For the love I felt, for the wounds that healed. I loved so deep, I broke so clean, Still grateful for everything in between. (Outro) I walk with God now, scars on my chest, Some loves don’t last—but they still blessed.
