You're perfect when I'm not
And you still love me
You're the person I'm not
I can feel it when you hug me
You take away my ugly
You bury all my skeletons
Never meant to love me
But fell for your best friend
Head over heels, with your heart on my feet
Short talks and long thoughts
Is what we stay and remeet
Repeat and keep things between you and me
Just, you and me, like how things should be
Even when they wasn't
When I wasn't tryin' to love them
You'd always be my friend, and never want the payback
I fell into you
And you fell through to catch me on the way back
And lay back to take back
The monsters in my playback
You painted sunsets
In the darkness of my heartbeat
You were aware of god and art meet to make me believe
And I get to love you
You taught me I deserve you
So I could never hurt you
Even when I feel I'm not worth you
'Cause we are
Walking on a tight rope, ignoring the barbs
And I will never be empty again
I get to marry my best friend
You taught me how to stand
When I didn't understand
And you never asked for nothin'
Never broke my plans
You saved my life
So I'll give it to you
It's the least I can do
For the strength that you used
Thank you
And I mean it for the times I've never said it
For your patience, and always staying levelheaded
For the love I never feel
Without the help you always give
For the breath I get to take
And the life I get to live
You are the reason
You are the reason
This one's for the little girl that made me an adult
I was nineteen when I knew I'd give my life up
For a big, blue-eyed, blonde-headed little princess
The sweetest thing I'd ever met, and nothing less
You were so talented
And I'm lucky I'm your daddy
For the first heartbeat through the speaker
You had me
And everything I ever do has you within the patterning
So I will never let you down and always be there happily
Never let them tell you
You are what you aren't
You're the biggest star I'd ever seen
With the biggest heart
And so smart, funny, and wise for your age
It's a privilege
To help you write your story through the days
And I love you
Love you like I never knew I could
'Cause I never knew that life could feel this good
You're the reason I wake up
And I feel that it's worth it
I will never let you feel that you are anything but perfect
I taught you how to stand, but you taught me how to walk
And as long as I talk
I will never lead you on
You will always have my hand, 'cause you taught me how to love
No matter what you become, I will always be proud
And you will never leave my heart
Never leave my smile
You are everything this world was ever without
Thank you for every second that you give to me
For every minute that you made me something more to me
But most importantly, thank you for the person that you are
You are everything I ever loved
And that's who you are
I love you, more than those words can mean
You are everything that keeps me alive and sane
You are my reason
You are the reason
You are my reason
