Tender Enough

I ain't always right there with you

Even when I'm in the room

Don't say the things you need to hear enough

Like I'm supposed to

I'm beggin' for your patience

Longin' to embrace you

Heaven knows we haven't done this in awhile

I can't help the way that I grew up

The only love I've ever known was tough

Sometimes a rough around the edges man

The kind with calloused hands

But tonight

I'll be tender enough

To make you cry

You'd ever know how proud it makes me

Just to watch you sleep

Still can't believe at the end of these two arms

Is all I've ever dreamed

And every day I'm saved

Humbled by your grace

And the peace in knowing that you understand

I can't help the way that I grew up

The only love I've ever known was tough

Sometimes a rough around the edges man

The kind with calloused hands

But tonight

I'll be tender enough

To make you cry

Just tender enough

To make you cry
