She Got Away With It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a man I used to be Full of fire, wild and mean Carrying storms in everything I'd say Burnin' bridges day by day Then she walked in, calm and true And saw the man I never knew [Chorus] My wife, my life, she saved my soul Took a broken man and made him whole She killed the man I used to be And got away with it, set me free She took my rage, turned it to grace Put peace and love back in its place [Verse 2] She spoke soft when I would shout Showed me strength ain't what I thought Held the line when I'd fall apart Put steady hands on a restless heart Sandra taught me to let things go Face my demons, let 'em show She stood there, hand in mine Said you're worth it, take your time [Chorus] My wife, my life, she saved my soul Took a broken man and made him whole She killed the man I used to be And got away with it, set me free She took my rage, turned it to grace Put peace and love back in its place [Bridge] She could've walked, she had her chance But she dug in deep and held her stance Twenty-six years still by my side Over thirty lovin' through the ride [Verse 3] Through every scar and every tear Sandra's the reason I'm still here She changed my name from rage to faith And showed my kids a father's face Everything I almost lost She paid in love, I know the cost [Chorus] My wife, my life, she saved my soul Took a broken man and made him whole She killed the man I used to be And gave this new life back to me She took my rage, turned it to grace Put peace and love back in its place [Outro] Sandra Comeaux, you're my truth You gave me back my second youth If I had just one life to live I'd spend it all loving you again
