Messy As A Magnolia

I was messy as a magnolia blooming in the month of May
I'd set a match to a second chance so fast it take your breath away
She ran into a house on fire to offer up some help
Saw something inside of me that I still can't see in myself

Honey, take my hand
What part of I ain't leaving don't you understand
I meant every word I said when I gave you that ring
Honey, I'm going to love you till the wheels fall off of this thing

There's a darkness deep down in my bones, a sickness I can't shake
It's been there since I remember, I got it honest as my last name
You saw something worth saving, helped me sweat the fever out
Behind every good man is a better somebody
That should have never stuck around

Honey, take my hand
What part of I ain't leaving don't you understand
I ain't the kind to quit when the going gets tough
I've never ran from a fight
I'll sit right here if it takes all night
I meant every word I said when I gave you that ring
Honey, I'm going to love you till the wheels fall off of this thing

Sometimes good people do horrible things
Sometimes those people need a reason to change

So, honey, take my hand
What part of I ain't leaving don't you understand
I ain't the kind to quit when the going gets tough
I've never ran from a fight
I'll sit right here if it takes all night
I meant every word I said when I gave you that ring
Honey, I'm going to love you
Honey, I'm going to love you
Till the wheels fall off of this thing
