Stronger Together

Do you remember the time I cut my wrist with a rock?
I scared you half to death.
Do you remember the time you drove home drunk?
You scared me half to death.

I never cared much about my own health and safety,
Until you came along, my angel, my baby,
You opened my eyes to a world unlike anything I’ve known before,
I was honestly lost before you walked in my door.

Last night you told me you wanted to be better, better for me,
I won’t lie, baby, I fell to my knees.
Your drinking scares me, but what scares me more,
Is the thought of you dead on some random bar floor.

But we made a pact, my baby and I,
A tooth for a tooth; an eye for an eye.
You’d cut down your drinking if I stopped cutting myself,
I cried when those words fell from your mouth.

We’ve always been stronger together, my darling,
I won’t let you down, sweet baby, I promise.
You have more faith in me than I’ve ever had in myself,
I promise you, baby, I won’t let this go south.
