Lyrics

When I met you at Brady's Bend
I said to Jay, "Hey, who's your friend?"
And he just stopped on a dime
I asked him "What's the deal?"
Does he understand what I feel
And he said "Don't waste your time"

He said you've got lots of problems
And you have lots of pain
Your past is a lonely place
And your heart has a big, black stain

But I'll take you and all of your issues, I'll take you and all of your faults
I'll take you and all of your baggage and I won't let you fall apart

I told Jay I'd be your cure
He gave me a look that said "Yeah, sure"
Like the damage is done
But I refuse to go away
'Cause after every night there's a day
And I know that I'm your one

I know you've got lots of problems
And you have lots of pain
But none of that needs to matter
When we think about what's to gain

I'll take you and all of your issues, I'll take you and all of your faults
I'll take you and all of your baggage and I won't let you fall apart
(REPEAT)

When I met you at Brady's Bend
It was the day that your past reached its end
The day that you became mine
Now we're all of these years along
Yeah, we proved everybody wrong
And I never had a better time

Why?

'Cause I took you and all of your issues, I took you and all of your faults
I took you and all of your baggage and I didn't let you fall apart
I took you and all of your issues, I took you and all of your faults
I took you and all of your baggage and I didn't let you fall apart

Didn't let you fall apart
Didn't let you fall apart
No I didn't let you fall apart
