00:11Door creaks open at 11.47
00:16Boots hit the floor
00:17Same as every night
00:21Hands still black from the work I never talk about
00:25She runs to me like the world's still right
00:31Arms around my neck, face in my chest
00:34That little sound she makes when she's home
00:41Whispers against my skin, soft and true
00:44Thank you for loving me the way you do
00:51I don't see much, I just hold her tight
00:56Smell of her hair still on my shirt tomorrow
01:01Everything I do
01:06Is for you
01:08The hours, the pain, the blood, the sweat and the tears
01:12Is all for you
01:17I love you
01:19Don't you ever doubt it
01:22This whole damn life is built around your name
01:27Everything I do
01:32Is for you
01:42Morning comes too fast
01:44Coffee black, no talk
01:45She packs my lunch the way she always has
01:48I drive into the grave with a face in my mind
01:50Tell myself the grind isn't worth the chance
01:53Come home broken still she meets me at the door
01:55Same soft eyes, same quiet
01:57I'm glad you're here
01:58I give her every piece I still have left
02:01And pray she never sees the fear
02:05They say a man is supposed to carry it all
02:09Never ask for soft, never ask for more
02:11Just keep showing up, keep bleeding quiet
02:16Until there's nothing left behind the door
02:22I used to think love was the simple thing
02:26A woman who stays when the lights go out
02:31Who sees the man behind the paycheck in the silence
02:37And still chooses him without a doubt
02:43Everything I do
02:45Everything I do
02:45Everything I do
02:48Is for you
02:49The work, the nights, the blood, the sweat and the tears
02:53It's all for you
02:58I love you
02:59Don't you ever doubt it
03:02This whole damn life is built around your name
03:08Everything I do
03:13It's all for you
03:21She still meets me at the door
03:24And still says the words that keep me alive
03:31And I still give her everything I am
03:36Even when the truth starts cutting like a knife
03:41Because some of us were built to love like this
03:47Even when the world forgot how to love us back
