Woke up to the smell of your old coffee brew,
You left a note that says "I saved you two"
The sun peeks through the curtains, soft and slow,
You're humming that song I used to know
No grand declarations, no shiny lies,
Just the way you laugh when I spill my fries
It's in the small things, the unsaid "I care"
That makes my heart feel light, makes the world feel fair
Ain't the diamonds, ain't the late-night drive,
Ain't the "forever" we yell under the sky
It's the way you hold me when my eyes fill up,
The way you listen when I'm out of luck
It's not the perfect, it's the real we share,
That's where the love starts, that's where it lives there
Love ain't the fireworks in the night sky bright,
It's the quiet "I'm here" when the world feels tight
It's the scars we mend, the dreams we chase as one,
The "goodnight" kiss that feels like home
It ain't the big words or the fancy show,
It's the "I choose you" every single day we know
That's the meaning of love, the meaning of us,
Simple, steady, endless trust
Last week when I lost my way, felt so alone,
You sat with me till the dark turned into dawn
You didn't fix it, just held my shaking hand,
Said "We'll walk through this, together we stand"
We fight over socks left on the bedroom floor,
We apologize fast, 'cause we hate the door
It's the messy parts, the "I'm sorry" and "I see you",
That makes this love feel true, feel like it's meant to
Ain't the diamonds, ain't the late-night drive,
Ain't the "forever" we yell under the sky
It's the way you hold me when my eyes fill up,
The way you listen when I'm out of luck
It's not the perfect, it's the real we share,
That's where the love starts, that's where it lives there
Love ain't the fireworks in the night sky bright,
It's the quiet "I'm here" when the world feels tight
It's the scars we mend, the dreams we chase as one,
The "goodnight" kiss that feels like home
It ain't the big words or the fancy show,
It's the "I choose you" every single day we know
That's the meaning of love, the meaning of us,
Simple, steady, endless trust
Years pass by, our hands still fit like keys,
Wrinkles tell the story of you and me
We'll dance to old songs when our legs grow weak,
Still laugh at the jokes that we used to speak
'Cause love ain't a moment, it's a life we build,
A million small "I love yous" that never get spilled
It's not about forever in some distant place,
It's right here, right now, in your smile, in your grace
Love ain't the fireworks in the night sky bright,
It's the quiet "I'm here" when the world feels tight
It's the scars we mend, the dreams we chase as one,
The "goodnight" kiss that feels like home
It ain't the big words or the fancy show,
It's the "I choose you" every single day we know
That's the meaning of love, the meaning of us,
Simple, steady, endless trust
Yeah, that's the meaning of us
Just you, and me, and love
