Vs1.
You were up before the sunrise, home long after dark.
Carrying the weight of the world with a tired but faithful heart.
Two jobs just to keep the lights on, food upon the table.
Giving everything you had, somehow making hope feel stable.
I was chasing empty promises, running from myself.
Looking for the easy road instead of asking for your help.
You stood there through the chaos, though I gave you every reason.
To walk away and leave me lost in every changing season.
I brought trouble through your front door, thinking I knew best.
Selling poison from the house that should have been your place of rest.
Police lights in the driveway, prison walls around my name.
You never stopped believing I could someday change.
You answered every phone call and come to visit me
Even when I couldn’t be the son you deserved to see.
Your forgiveness was a lighthouse shining through the storm.
Showing me that broken hearts have a chance to be reborn
Chorus:
You never stopped loving me
Even when I couldn’t love myself
When I was lost in all my darkness
You saw someone else
Chorus:
You never stopped loving me
Even when I couldn’t love myself
When I was lost in all my darkness
You saw someone else

River, you’ve been my shelter when the rain came pouring down.
When I wore a broken smile beneath a heavy frown.
You saw the hurt I always tried to hide
You never judged the man I was but stayed right by my side
When my pockets held no money and I was falling through.
You’d somehow find a way to help with everything you’d do.
You never asked for anything or kept a score to see.
You simply loved your brother for the man you knew I’d be.
I remember every time you dried my eyes
You found the words to lift me up through all my pride
You carried more than any ever have to bear.
Yet somehow always showed all your love and care.
Believed in me when I had given up myself.
You saw the man beneath the pain that I had felt.
If love could build a bridge, you’d have build a thousand more
You never closed your heart but always left a door.
Chorus:
You never stopped loving me
Even when I couldn’t love myself
When I was lost in all my darkness
You saw someone else
Chorus:
You never stopped loving me
Even when I couldn’t love myself
When I was lost in all my darkness
You saw someone else
