The Greatest Thing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
