Demons and daylight
By Marvin brooks
Verse 1
Met her in the soft glow of a summer night
Eyes like honey, smile that lit up my whole life
She had a little boy with the cutest laugh
And a heart that carried more than she ever asked
I was lost, chasing shadows in my head
She was fighting battles she never said
Pre-Chorus
We both had demons whispering low
Mine said “run,” hers said “don’t let go”
Chorus
But we had to break so we could heal
I had to leave, find the man I needed to be real
She had her storms, I had my rain
Now we’re back in each other’s arms again
Loving harder, deeper than before
Through the dark we found what we were fighting for
Beautiful woman, my forever song
We came back—baby, we were never really gone
Verse 2
Distance tried to steal what we had built
Nights felt empty, her touch was all I missed
Her son asking “When is he coming back
For our next Nerf war?” — man, that hit me like a heart attack
Broke me down but lit the fire in my bones
I faced my demons, she faced hers too
Grew through the pain like flowers break through
Pre-Chorus
Now the storms are clearing, sky is blue
Every scar we earned just led me back to you
Chorus
We had to break so we could heal
I had to leave, find the man I needed to be real
She had her storms, I had my rain
Now we’re back in each other’s arms again
Loving harder, deeper than before
Through the dark we found what we were fighting for
Beautiful woman, my forever song
We came back—baby, we were never really gone
Bridge
Yeah the road was long, the nights were cold
But every step brought me back to your soul
Her little boy running into my arms
This is our family, this is our calm
Final Chorus (softer then build)
We had to break… now we’re whole again
Loving more than ever, my beautiful friend
Through the demons and the daylight too
I’m yours forever, and you’re mine, it’s true
