Lyrics: Dave Barnes. What We Want, What We Get. God Gave Me You.

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

There's more here than what we're seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel, lovely
Could somehow fall for me

You'll always be love's great martyr
I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

On my own I'm only half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together and what love has tethered
I could never undo

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you
Gave me you
Gave me you
