Thankful For You Lyrics

All this weight that's on my chest I'm barely breathing

You change my mind every time I think of leaving

Shame on me for ever thinkin' I could do that to you

If I loved you I'd give you what you're needing

You tell me just how I'm never succeeding 

If I would only love the way that you tell me to 

I'm thankful for the lessons this taught me

Like a treasure washed ashore by a tsunami 

Waking up as  every wave crashed upon me, to showed the truth 

I'm thankful that the sun seems to shine a little brighter

I'm thankful that the moon seems to hang a little higher

Sometimes we need the struggles just to come and stoke the fire 

Sometimes we're faced with mountains just to climb a little a higher

Sometimes we need a trip to hell and back to feel brand new

That's why I'm thankful for you 

That's why I'm thankful for you

Sometimes to see the light, we need the darkness

Defining points in life can be the hardest

You can't always see the work of an artist, until it's through 

The recipe for rainbows is dark clouds and rain

The recipe for life is contractions and pain 

Just like a refining fire can make a life renewed 

I'm thankful for the lessons this taught me

Like a treasure washed ashore by a tsunami 

Waking up as  every wave crashed upon me, to showed the truth 

I'm thankful that the sun seems to shine a little brighter

I'm thankful that the moon seems to hang a little higher

Sometimes we need the struggles just to come and stoke the fire 

Sometimes we're faced with mountains just to climb a little a higher

Sometimes we need a trip to hell and back to feel brand new

That's why I'm thankful for you 

That's why I'm thankful for you
