You changed mine

You’re not a widely know gal
Born to a middle class family
In a middle class town

Your mom and dad,they
Worked hard every day
They had bills to pay
And two girls to raise

You were your daddy’s shadow
The standard he gave
Made the man who would
Hold your hand walk slow

That day you caught me eye
You didn’t change the world
But you changed mine

When I moved back
Hell was in my heart
Darkness in my tracks

When you came to me
Grace was in your heart
Your love touched softly

My love, You chased me down
A wedding and three boys later
You are still my crown

That day you caught my eye
You didn’t change the world
But you changed mine

Easier said than done

I hear “just let it go”
It keeps goin’ in my head
Then enters vertigo
It’s easier said than done

I hear “It’s no big deal”
But it is to me
Give me time to heal
It’s easier said than done

Like a gator’s back
I wanna be strong
I’m the fly
On a lizards tongue
As the wind blows, I’m thrown

I’m not the guy
Throwin’ stones
I hide behind
Broken bones
As the wind blows, I’m thrown

I hear “forget about it”
But I can’t
It runs through my veins a bit
It’s easier said than done

I hear “it’s time to move on”
If you knew her
You’d beg for the
Voicemail on my phone
It’s easier said than done

Like a gator’s back
I wanna be strong
I’m the fly
On a lizard’s tongue
As the wind blows, I’m thrown

I’m not the guy
Throwin’ stones
I hide behind
Broken bones
As the wind blows, I’m thrown
