The Greatest Thing

These words I say, you take for granted
And I know it's my fault, it's not how you planned it
Oh, I can't take it back, no, I'm only human
Will you stay through the hurt and hesitation?
Oh

I will be better, oh, I'll treat you right
Patiently give you everything for the rest of my life
Oh, I am down on my knees prayin' someday you will see
You are the greatest thing that's ever happened to me

You lay by my side, but you keep your distance
Oh, I hurt your heart, let me try and heal it
Day by day, I will wait, I'll build it back slowly
Through the trials and the storms, I'll always keep holdin' on
Oh-on

And I will be better, oh, I'll treat you right
Patiently give you everything for the rest of my life
Oh, I am down on my knees prayin' someday you will see
You are the greatest thing that's ever happened to me

Oh, and I'll build this house brick by brick
And endlessly wait your love
Oh, you take my hand but your eyes, they're suspicious
It's alright—I'm in, alright

Oh, I will be better, yes, I'll treat you right
Patiently give you everything for the rest of my life
Oh, I am down on my knees prayin' someday you will see
You are the greatest thing that's ever happened to me
Mm
