Bittersweet Dust
I don't say it pretty,
that was never me
I keep it locked down where nobody sees But I've
loved you in the only way I know how
— I
stayed.
I'm staying.
I'm still here now.
Six times I stood up
and said "I do"
Five of them broke me,
but then there was you
Seventeen years I've known you,
five as your wife
Loving you's the truest thing in my life
So never doubt my love,
don't you ever doubt
When those chains locked you in,
I never walked out
Through the bars, through the rehab,
through the storms we knew I held your name up when
the nights turned blue You were my safe place,
you're my home, my
truth
Never doubt
my love — it's always been you
I walked an hour
just to bring you food
Did what I had to,
like lovers do
I kissed you through that cold phone glass
Said "we were built for this,
this too shall pass" So
never doubt my love,
don't you ever doubt
When those chains locked you in,
I never walked out
Through the bars, through the rehab,
through the storms we knew I held your name up
when the nights turned blue You were my safe place,
you're my home, my truth
Never doubt
my love — it's always been
you
Mikey...
stop.
Just stop and listen to me.
You keep saying you're a failure.
You're not.
A failure wouldn't have fought his way back to me.
A failure wouldn't be standing in this house we saved together.
You think I don't see you?
Baby, I see all of you
— every scar, every mistake,
every single piece
— and I'm still here.
I never left.
Now you tell me
— does that sound like a woman
who doesn't love her husband?
So never doubt my love,
don't you ever doubt
When those chains locked you in,
I never walked out Through the bars,
through the rehab, through the storms we knew I held your name
up when the nights turned blue
You were my safe place,
you're my home, my truth
Never doubt my love — it's always been you
Six times I said "I do"
Baby, I meant it with you
You're not a failure
— you're my husband
And I love you
