Coat and Gloves

Verse 1

Saw the weight sittin' heavy on your shoulders today

You been fightin' silent wars while I'm away

They pulled the rug, cut the check, flipped the script

Mama's sick again and your confidence just slipped

Pre-Chorus

But let me stop you right there

Before you drown in despair

I see you clearer than you see yourself

Now listen

Chorus

I gotcha, I'm strong enough for the both of us

When the world gets cold I'll be the coat and gloves

I gotcha when the ceilings cave and the floor gives way

Strong enough for the both of us, for the both of us

Post-Chorus

Ooh, for the both of us

Ooh, for the both of us

Verse 2

You been carryin' everybody else's load

Now let somebody carry yours down this road

They don't know the half of what you bring

But I been watchin' you since the beginnin'

Pre-Chorus

So let me stop you right there

Before you sink in that chair

I know the man behind the hurt

Now listen

Chorus

I gotcha, I'm strong enough for the both of us

When the world gets cold I'll be the coat and gloves

I gotcha when the ceilings cave and the floor gives way

Strong enough for the both of us, for the both of us

Bridge

Monday morning you can break down

Tuesday night I'll hold it down

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday through

I got somethin' left for you

Chorus

I gotcha, I'm strong enough for the both of us

When the world gets cold I'll be the coat and gloves

I gotcha when the ceilings cave and the floor gives way

Strong enough for the both of us, for the both of us

Outro

(For the both of us)

Strong enough

Yeah, yeah

(For the both of us)

I gotcha
