Burning Frets
She's got a coffee getting cold on the counter,
A hundred little things she still needs to do.
Always showing up for everybody around her,
Never quite knowing who'll show up for her,
too.
She's got a laugh that can light up a room,
And a way of saying "I'm fine" that sounds so true.
But there's a whole lot of hurt behind those brown eyes,
And a whole lot of love she don't know what to do
with.
She's the girl who never asks for much,
Just a hand to hold and a little honest love.
A man who means it when he says he's gonna stay,
Who don't make her feel like she's too much to take.
She's got a little bit of wild,
a little bit of hurt,
A heart that keeps on giving what it never gets in return.
And if you get the chance to call that girl yours,
Boy, you'd better love her like you've never loved before.
She's the girl who never asks,
But God knows she deserves
so much more.
She's got people back home she'd give anything to see,
And memories she keeps where nobody else can reach.
There's a little girl inside her that still misses being young,
And a woman who's been learning she don't have to be so
tough. She'll spend her last ten dollars making somebody smile,
Make a stranger feel like family,
make a hard day worthwhile.
She knows how to care for a hundred little hearts,
But never quite learned how to let somebody care for hers.
She's the girl who never asks for much,
Just a hand to hold and a little honest love.
A man who means it when he says he's gonna stay,
Who don't make her feel like she's too much to take.
She's got a little bit of wild,
a little bit of hurt,
A heart that keeps on giving what it never gets in return.
And if you get the chance to call that girl yours,
Boy, you'd better love her like you've never loved before.
One day she'll meet a man who doesn't make her wonder If
he's gonna call, if he'll stay,
if he's already halfway gone.
He'll kiss her in the kitchen,
pull her closer in the driveway,
And love her on the ordinary Tuesdays just as much
as on the good days.
He'll learn the names of everyone she holds close to her heart,
Understand that where she's been is just a piece of who they
are. And when the world gets heavy and she's tired of being
strong, He'll wrap his arms around her and remind her she belongs.
She's the girl who never asks for much,
But I'd give her every bit of this old world if I
could. I'd be the hand she reaches for when everything goes wrong,
The voice that tells her she's been worth it all along.
She's got a little bit of wild,
a little bit of hurt,
And a heart that makes this whole damn world feel worth it.
And if I get the chance to spend my whole life loving
her, I'll thank the Lord every day that she chose me first.
She's the girl who never asks,
So I'm gonna give her everything she deserves.
It's not because she never needed saving,
It's because she kept on loving through it all.
With a heart that's been through hell
And never let it turn to stone.
Yeah, she's the girl who never asks...
And she's the one I'm bringing home.
