Only Way I Know

Verse 1

I found your name in the quiet of my room

Like a lamp left on after the whole night through

I should have walked away I should have let it go

But your memory came back like the river to the stone

You were the summer rain on my window glass

Soft enough to stay strong enough to last

Now every little thing I never said before

Stays on my tongue like a prayer at the door

And if I ever looked too proud to break

Baby that was only pride not faith

I was learning how to kneel learning how to stay

Learning love can cut and heal the same

Pre-Chorus

So take my heart take my hands

Take the part of me that understands

I was lost then you appeared

And everything I feared is clear

Chorus

You are the only way I know

To make this broken heart come home

You are the only way I know

To turn my silence into gold

When the world pulls me apart

You are the line inside my heart

You are the only way I know

Only way I know

Verse 2

I read your shadow in the morning light

On the edge of dreams before the day could rise

Every road I took led me back to you

Like the tide knows what the moon will do

I held my breath through a hundred storms

Still your name stayed warm in my palms

I never had the words never had the grace

But your eyes could read me face to face

And I have been a hard man to love

Too much doubt too little trust

Yet you stood there steady as flame

Calling me by my truest name

Pre-Chorus

So take my heart take my hands

Take the part of me that understands

I was lost then you appeared

And everything I feared is clear

Chorus

You are the only way I know

To make this broken heart come home

You are the only way I know

To turn my silence into gold

When the world pulls me apart

You are the line inside my heart

You are the only way I know

Only way I know

Verse 3

I can see forever in the way you smile

Like a church bell ringing through the miles

If my time runs thin and the lights grow dim

I will still be reaching just to stay with her

No I never learned to love with ease

I learned it in the cracks on my knees

But you took the rough and made it shine

Like a wild old scar turned into light

So if you ask me where I've been

I've been lost then found again

And every path every scar every vow

Was leading me to this right now

Pre-Chorus

So take my heart take my hands

Take the part of me that understands

I was lost then you appeared

And everything I feared is clear

Chorus

You are the only way I know

To make this broken heart come home

You are the only way I know

To turn my silence into gold

When the world pulls me apart

You are the line inside my heart

You are the only way I know

Only way I know

Bridge

Let the strings rise let the night give way

I have carried your name through the hardest days

If I fall again let me fall in you

That is the one true thing I know is true

No more running from the ache

No more pride I cannot shake

I am yours in the fire and rain

Yours in the joy and the pain

Break

I was lost

Now I see

You were always

Reaching me

Final Chorus

You are the only way I know

To make this broken heart come home

You are the only way I know

To turn my silence into gold

You are the only way I know

Only way I know

You are the only way I know

Only way I know

only way I know

Only way I know

Only way I know
