You Loved Me At My Darkest

 

 
Lost for words cause I'm lost for you
Holding onto hope that you'll pull through
I quit smoking cigarettes today
Because love shown is the most effective way to say

Let the actions speak for themself
When faith aligns with what I do
Preventative measures, seeking for the cure
As if in taking care of myself I can take away the cancer in you

Making promises to God and my wife
That I'll do everything I can to cherish life
In honor of who you are and your legacy
I only pray I can be even half the man that you raised me to be

Do I make you proud, or am I just idealized, loved for the potential in me
And yet you loved me at my darkest and saw something even I could not see

It's my turn to stand for you
When God has done the impossible on my behalf
For all the midnight prayers of a heavy hearted mother
I believe in miracles because I'm a living testimony of the aftermath

It's hard to see you this way
When you are the strongest one
And everyday I pray
When you are a better mother than I felt I've been a son...
