Sweetheart

Verse 1

She keeps wildflowers in a mason jar beside the kitchen sink She hums old hymns while foldin' laundry, doesn't stop to think She waves at every neighbor even ones she doesn't know She's the kind of soul that makes a cold world warm enough to grow

Pre-Chorus

In a world that's gettin' harder, meaner every day She's a gentle revolution in the sweetest kind of way

Chorus

Sweetheart, that's what everybody calls her Not because it's easy but because she's never fallen From the grace she carries like a lantern in the dark Sweetheart, she's the best part of my heart The honey in the bitter, the calm inside the storm Sweetheart, she's the reason I was born

Verse 2

She cries at commercials and she prays for people's dogs She leaves her Christmas lights up just to fight the winter fog She remembers everybody's birthday, writes it all by hand She's the realest thing in a world full of Instagram

Chorus

Sweetheart, that's what everybody calls her Not because it's easy but because she's never fallen From the grace she carries like a lantern in the dark Sweetheart, she's the best part of my heart The honey in the bitter, the calm inside the storm Sweetheart, she's the reason I was born

Verse 3

And when the world gets heavy and the weight is hard to bear She doesn't ask for credit, she just shows up and she's there She's not the loudest in the room, she doesn't need to be She's a sweetheart through and through, and she belongs to me

Bridge

I don't deserve the half of what she gives But I'll spend every day that I still live Tryin' to be the man that's worth her time My sweetheart, my sweetest valentine
