A Little Like U

Verse 1

I've given you a thousand reasons

To turn around and walk away,

I've made a habit out of leaving,

Still you somehow choose to stay.

I've said "I'm fine" when I was falling,

Made a mess and called it mine,

You never kept a score of failures,

You just kept giving me your time.

Chorus

You're the one who stayed

When I gave you every reason not to,

Held my heart together

When I didn't know how to.

You forgive what I can't forget,

Love me when I lose my way,

I'm learning how to love like you—

A little better every day.

No one changed me, no one tried,

I just saw your love and knew—

If I could be a little like you,

Maybe I could love like you.

Verse 2

You know every hidden corner,

Every flaw I try to hide,

You've seen me at my worst and somehow

Never stepped to the other side.

I've tested every kind of patience,

Turned your kindness into proof,

Yet you never asked for payment,

Never needed an excuse.

So I'm learning how to listen,

How to give and not demand,

How to hold a heart with kindness,

How to stay when things get hard.

I may never love as purely

As you've shown me how to do,

But every better part of me

Is learning to be like you.

Final Chorus

You're the one who stayed

When I gave you every reason not to,

Held my heart together

When I didn't know how to.

You forgive what I can't forget,

Love me when I lose my way,

And every day I'm learning

To give the love you gave away.

No one changed me, no one tried,

I just saw your love and knew—

I don't have to be perfect,

I just have to be a little like you.

A little like you...

A little more each day.

If I can love the way you do,

Maybe I'll find my way.
