Verse 1 I almost gave up on love that night Then a wink appeared, and it felt so right Her smile, her eyes, her heart so true I couldn’t believe she chose me too Panera drinks, “Shooter” on the screen First date laughter, simple, serene I said what I felt, maybe a little soon “Mom says Easter—come over soon” Pre-Chorus 1 It slipped right out, but it felt so true I wasn’t guessing—I was hoping for you Chorus We both came here with a few scars From broken vows and tired hearts But somehow every wrong turn knew It was only meant to bring me to you God used the hurt, the time, the years The lessons learned through quiet tears I didn’t know what love could be Till every broken road led me to we Verse 2 I hid my battles, tried to stand tall But secrets will crumble, and I lost it all You called me out, I saw my shame I faced my darkness and owned my blame I sought the light, I fell to my knees Found grace in prayer, in scripture, in peace Shared my struggle, let others see The man I wanted you to know was me Pre-Chorus 2 I didn’t change to win you back I changed so I’d never walk that path Chorus We both came here with a few scars From roads that didn’t take us far But God kept writing something new Every broken road still led to you He used the dark to teach me light Taught me how to live upright I didn’t know what love could be Till every broken road led me to we Verse 3 December lights, a Christmas tree A jingle bell hiding on one small hinge I asked you there, and you said “Yes” Our hearts entwined, God knew the rest Barefoot vows by the April shore Just close friends and the ocean roar We gave Him our future, hands unbound And life bloomed in ways profound Bridge Brooks arrived in fragile form A tiny fighter, through the storm And when we saw him, love overflowed Our hearts were full, God’s hand showed Then came ShuHua (“Shoe‑wah”), little and bright Judah joined with struggles to fight Each child a miracle, a gift, a sign That grace and faith can intertwine Verse 4 (Distance & Commitment) Miles apart but hearts still near I choose you daily, year to year I stumble, fall, but rise again Still hoping, still waiting, still your friend Though trust is fragile, scars remain My vow is steady through joy and pain Through ups and downs, through tears and fights I’ll love you fully all of my life Final Chorus We both came here with humbled hearts No guarantees, just faith to start We trusted God with everything Even life we couldn’t bring And in His time, in His way He answered every word we prayed I’ll never doubt what grace can do The day He gave us life through you Outro From broken roads to holy ground From guarded hearts to love unbound Lauren, my love, my answered prayer I’ll choose you still—right here, right there
