Thankful

I think of you in October
When the rain starts to fall
Couldn't find through the storm
So I built up a wall
I was looking for something
In all the wrong places
I was searching for love
In all the wrong faces
I saw a flicker of light in the darkness
Saw a reflection of me where your heart is
Baby, 'cause you
You're holding me up
You're holding me up
And I am thankful
You
You're more than enough
You're more than enough
And I am thankful
Everything I ever wanted
Never knew until I got it
Because of you
I am thankful
Sometimes the pressure of the city's
Got me slipping back
But used to follow you in it
Helps me stay on track
And when they're all going out
Just know I'll be coming home, baby
And when there's no one around
I know I'm not alone, baby
I saw a flicker of light in the darkness
Saw a reflection of me where your heart is
Baby, 'cause you
You're holding me up
You're holding me up
And I am thankful
You
You're more than enough
You're more than enough
And I am thankful
Everything I ever wanted
Never knew until I got it
Because of you
I am thankful
Know I don't tell you enough
But I'm thankful
You're picture perfect
From every angle
Just know wherever I go
I'ma take you
I'm so thankful
I'm so thankful
Baby, 'cause you
You're holding me up
You're holding me up
And I am thankful
You
You're more than enough
You're more than enough
And I am thankful
Everything I ever wanted
Never knew until I got it
Because of you
I am thankful
