Well, the roads that we have traveled
Have kept us years apart
Remembering a moment
And how it left a mark
Two hearts wounded in passion
This world would not allow
Well, I'm here to make my peace
With the way I love you now

Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now

There've been countless others
To fill my whiskey glass
With questions I can't answer
Questions I don't ask
If reconciliation is the best that we can do
And I knew how it would hurt me
I'd still fall in love with you

Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now

You're with me in the silence
When the night is still and dark
You're with me in the lonely
That never leaves my heart
But it's more than just a memory
Of disappointment and pain
It's the way I love you now
Only forgiveness can explain

Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now
So grateful for the way I love you now
