Thank You For Teaching Me Love

[Verse 1]
I hope you found love
And it feels like home
Someone knows your stories
Laughs at all your jokes

I carried our ending
Like a quiet bruise
But time turned the pages
Til I saw the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
You taught my heart to open
When it only knew to run
So if you ever doubt your worth
Just look at what you’ve done

[Chorus]
Thank you for teaching me love
For the way you held me when I came undone
You were the first flame
Now I’m standing in the sun
I’m happy now
I’ve got a little family
Arms that hold me steady when the nights get heavy
Your love is in the way I love the man beside me
So thank you
Thank you for teaching me love

[Verse 2]
I set the table
With more chairs than before
Tiny hands are reaching
Footsteps on the floor

He wipes my tears gently
When old ghosts appear
Says
“Whoever hurt you
Led you safely here” (mm)

[Pre-Chorus]
Every soft “I love you”
That I whisper in the dark
Carries echoes of the way
You once guarded my heart

[Chorus]
Thank you for teaching me love
For the way you held me when I came undone
You were the first flame
Now I’m standing in the sun
I’m happy now
I’ve got a little family
Arms that hold me steady when the nights get heavy
Your love is in the way I love the man beside me
So thank you
Thank you for teaching me love

[Bridge]
I don’t wish it back
I don’t curse your name
We were just a chapter
In a bigger brave story

If you ever wonder
What you meant to me
Know that every safe goodbye
Started with you holding me

[Chorus]
Thank you for teaching me love
For the way you held me when I came undone
You were the first flame
Now I’m standing in the sun
I’m happy now
I’ve got a little family
Arms that hold me steady when the nights get heavy
Your love is in the way I love the man beside me
So thank you
From my whole new life
I’m saying thank you
Thank you for teaching me love
