I've been a walking heartache I've made a mess of me The person that I've been lately Ain't who I wanna be But you stay here right beside me Watch as the storm goes through And I need you God gave me you for the ups and downs God gave me you for the days of doubt For when I think I've lost my way There are no words here left to say, it's true God gave me you There's more here than what were seeing A divine conspiracy That you, an angel lovely Could somehow fall for me You'll always be love's great martyr I'll be the flattered fool And I need you God gave me you for the ups and downs God gave me you for the days of doubt For when I think I've lost my way There are no words here left to say, it's true God gave me you On my own I'm only Half of what I could be I can't do without you We are stitched together And what love has tethered I pray we never undo God gave me you for the ups and downs God gave me you for the days of doubt God gave me you for the ups and downs God gave me you for the days of doubt For when I think I've lost my way There are no words here left to say, it's true God gave me you, gave me you. Gave me you.
