When the Night Comes

[Verse]
I got some questions for you
I learned some lessons from you
Lessons that only you could teach me
The ones that make me understand why you'll never leave me
Why you put aside your doubts and chose to believe me
Girl, I know that wasn't easy
But was it difficult?
Was it hard not to listen to the people telling you I wasn't missing you?
But you know I was missing you
You know if I had a genie in a bottle, I'd spend more than one wish on you
But behind the gift disputes, we're trying to hit the truth
It's like you're a doctor
And I swear you are too from all the healing that those kisses do
All the minutes that I've spent with you
I lost track of time counting the seconds
You got me coming back for more like I wanted seconds
And buying you silver like I came in second
Thinking, "I can't take the chance to wreck it"
It would only take a second
It coulda been the girl at the party
Or the one right down the street
I just think to when I'm laying in my bed where my happiness should be
Where I wanna relax and break free of all the stress
And just lay against your chest
And hear your heartbeat
Where I'm in my deepest sleep
Where I'm not afraid to weep
Because I know you aren't one to judge
And you know I'll be there when your makeup smudge
And when you need someone to cry to
Someone that you can't lie to
And if you ever did, you know I'd see right through
But you wouldn't do that, trust is what this is built upon
I'm supposed to make you forget about the man that did you wrong and never remind you
I mean, you're your own person, independent
But that doesn't mean you ain't mine too
Mind you, I'm the man that's supposed to hide you
From all of the demons wanting to hurt you or blind you
Girl, I'm supposed to guide you
To a better place, not one that's up above
But to a home that's built on love as a foundation
Where there's happiness in the making
And it's so real, there's no faking
Real love
One there ain't no deals of, nah, you can't buy this
I was born a split home, I didn't think I'd try this
I thought I'd despise it
That's the past though, the future is where we're moving
I swear, this is some evolution in its greatest form
Nah, you can't hate this form because it's exactly the opposite
I want to tie the knot or grab the key, girl, I'm locking this
There ain't no tossing this, it's everlasting
Turns out, I made my own fairytale
Something that's very real
Something our kids want in life
I want a son who wants a wife just as perfect as his mother
Someone he meets once and he knows he'll never find another
Because you don't come past that girl twice
Fifty dollars for a date, but it's really without a price
Really, you're just buying life
Really, you're just buying freedom
A better future for all your loved ones
I hope you know where I come from
But slow it down, I lost my train of thought
Girl, I'm here for you
When the night comes
When the night comes

[Outro]
If I don't wake up, know that I'm gone
Know that the night has taken me on
