"Messy As A Magnolia" lyrics

I was messy as a magnolia, blooming in the month of May
I'd set a match to a second chance so fast, it'll take your breath away
She ran into a house on fire to offer up some help
Saw something inside of me that I still can't see in myself

Singing, honey, take my hand
What part of "I ain't leavin'" don't you understand?
I meant every word I said when I gave you that ring
Honey, I'm gonna love you till the wheels fall off of this thing

There's a darkness deep down in my bones, a sickness I can't shake
It's been there since I remember, I got it honest as my last name
Yet you saw some' worth savin', helped me sweat the fever out
Behind every good man is a better somebody, should have never stuck around

So honey, take my hand
What part of "I ain't leavin'" don't you understand?
But I ain't the kind to quit when the going gets tough
I've never ran from a fight
I'll sit right here if it takes all night
Meant every word I said when I gave you that ring
Honey, I'm gon' love you till the wheels fall off of this thing

Sometimes good people do horrible things
And sometimes those people need a reason to change

So honey, take my hand
What part of "I ain't leavin'" don't you understand?
I ain't the kind to quit when the going gets tough
And I've never ran from a fight
I'll sit right here if it takes all night
I meant every word I said when I gave you that ring
Honey, I'm gonna love you
Honey, I'm gonna love you till the wheels fall off of this thing
