Blew It With the One

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] I found your hair tie in the kitchen drawer Like a little flag from a losing war Your coffee cup still rings the sink I pour mine black and try not to think I had your hand, I had your trust Somehow I turned both of them to dust You never asked for a perfect man Just someone steady enough to stand [Pre-Chorus] Now the county line is all I see And every mile keeps telling me [Chorus] I blew it with the one Heaven sent my way Let her walk out while I had the chance to make her stay Lord, if mercy has a road, let it lead to where she’s been I’m down here with an empty heart, asking You to let me begin I can’t make her come back, but I can finally bend At the feet of the One who forgives what I can’t mend [Verse 2] Her picture’s face-down by the bedroom door I still reach for her in my sleep once more The old blue truck won’t start in the cold Guess it knows this story’s getting old I hear her laugh in a grocery aisle Turn around and lose it by a mile There are some goodbyes a man can’t chase Once a wounded heart has left that place [Pre-Chorus] So I park beneath the steeple sign And trade my pride for borrowed time [Chorus] I blew it with the one Heaven sent my way Let her walk out while I had the chance to make her stay Lord, if mercy has a road, let it lead to where she’s been I’m down here with an empty heart, asking You to let me begin I can’t make her come back, but I can finally bend At the feet of the One who forgives what I can’t mend [Guitar Solo Bridge] [Instrumental electric guitar solo: lyrical country-rock bends, rising intensity, eight bars] [Bridge] If she’s happier beneath another roof Then let my tears become the proof That a changed man doesn’t make demands He leaves her future in Your hands [Final Chorus] I blew it with the one Heaven sent my way Let her walk out while I had the chance to make her stay Lord, if mercy has a road, let it lead to where she’s been I’m down here with an empty heart, asking You to let me begin I can’t make her come back, but I can finally bend At the feet of the One who forgives what I can’t mend [Outro] At the feet of the One who forgives what I can’t mend I’ll become the kind of man I should have been back then
