(Intro – melodic)

(Ohhh… yeah…)

James…

Talkin’ to you, Dea…

From the heart… you hear me?

⸻

(Verse 1)

I been through some pain, I ain’t never show it

Heart cold for a while, you the one that thawed it

I was fightin’ demons, you ain’t even know it

You came in my life and you really brought hope in

I ain’t used to love, I was used to loss

Everybody left, had me feelin’ lost

Then you held me down, never switched at all

Now I’m scared to lose you, that’s my biggest flaw

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I be thinkin’ late nights, you the one I need

If I ever fall, would you stay with me?

I ain’t got it all, but I got this love

And I swear to God, it’s enough for us

⸻

(Chorus)

Dea, I been through the rain, I been through the storm

You the only one that kept me warm

I don’t wanna play, I don’t wanna pretend

I don’t want love if it ain’t the end

Put a ring on your hand, let the whole world see

You forever, yeah you stuck with me

Through the pain, through the scars I carry

I just wanna love you… I just wanna marry

⸻

(Verse 2)

I got trust issues, I admit that truth

Been hurt too many times, I was damaged too

But you stayed patient, never turned your back

Even when I ain’t know how to act

You see the real me, not the image I show

All the pain in my heart, you the one that know

I was broken inside, you was pickin’ the pieces

Now I’m prayin’ to God that this love never ceases

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I ain’t perfect, but I’m tryin’ for you

Every scar in my heart, I’m confidin’ to you

If I give you my name, I ain’t takin’ it back

I just need your love, I ain’t chasin’ no racks

⸻

(Chorus)

Dea, I been through the rain, I been through the storm

You the only one that kept me warm

I don’t wanna play, I don’t wanna pretend

I don’t want love if it ain’t the end

Put a ring on your hand, let the whole world see

You forever, yeah you stuck with me

Through the pain, through the scars I carry

I just wanna love you… I just wanna marry

⸻

(Bridge – emotional / Rod Wave vibe)

If I give you my heart, don’t you break it, girl

You the only one I see in my world

I done came too far, I can’t lose you now

Say you ridin’ with me, won’t you hold me down?

⸻

(Outro – soft)

So Dea…

When I say I love you… I mean it different…

I ain’t just talkin’…

I’m tryna build forever…

With you… 💍
