Mesh

I was eighteen when our story began

Underneath the Wendy's lights, I found my man

You were patient and loving with every single look

Writing the very first pages of our book

You sent me on a treasure hunt to find my way

"The place I hold you close," the final clue would say

I reached into your shirt pocket, right against your chest

Found a ring beside your heart, and I said yes

Mesh, I still choose the man that I married

Through all of the heavy heartbreak we've carried

You’re a blue-collar soul, you're the beat of my heart

I’m sorry for the times that I tore us apart

I want you to know, through the shadows and rain

I will always love the man behind the paint

We said our vows out at Kiwanis Park

You dipped me over your leg, a beautiful spark

We built a family together, side by side

Derek, Destiny, and Dustin, our joy and our pride

We were so good for a while, out in the sun

Until the heavy days came and the damage was done

Mesh, I still choose the man that I married

Through all of the heavy heartbreak we've carried

You’re a blue-collar soul, you're the beat of my heart

I’m sorry for the times that I tore us apart

I want you to know, through the shadows and rain

I will always love the man behind the paint

I broke our trust, but you took me back in your arms

Then we lost our kids, and the sirens sounded alarms

I know you lost yourself, I know the world went cold

You locked away your tenderness and your heart of gold

I know you barely see me, I don't know if I'm what you want

But I'm standing right here through the ghosts that still haunt

Mesh, I still choose the man that I married

Through all of the heavy heartbreak we've carried

You’re a blue-collar soul, you're the beat of my heart

I’m sorry for the times that I tore us apart

I want you to know, through the shadows and rain

I will always love the man behind the paint

Yeah, I will always love the man behind the paint
