Lyrics
Used to run from love like I owed it debt
Countin’ scars like a flex, just pain I kept
Tried to fix all the cracks with a smile and spin
But a broken heart's still a house too thin
You ain’t perfect, nah — you’re better, you’re real
You don’t fix me, you just show me how to heal
And I don’t pray much, never knew who to thank
But I’m lookin’ at you, and I’m startin’ to think
Never believed in fate
It’s not what I do
It’s not what I do
Never been one for faith
Not saying it ain’t true
Not saying it ain’t true
But thank God for you
Thank God for you
Had walls so high, thought I’d drown in the shade
Poured concrete 'round my heart like a barricade
But you, you slid through like the light at dawn
Made me forget what I was even guarding on
And I don’t claim to know what forever means
But you’re the best part of all my dreams
So if there’s a plan, if there’s somethin’ above
It’s writin’ your name right next to love
Never believed in fate
It’s not what I do
It’s not what I do
Never been one for faith
Not saying it ain’t true
Not saying it ain’t true
But thank God for you
Thank God for you
I was lost in a life I didn’t choose
Runnin’ on empty, had nothin’ to lose
If there’s grace in this world - it’s you
Never believed in fate
It’s not what I do
It’s not what I do
Never been one for faith
Not saying it ain’t true
Not saying it ain’t true
But thank God for you
Thank God for you
