To the men that love women after heartbreak To the hellos that come after goodbyes To the rain that was falling but watered the gardens And the ones that bring the flowers back to life To the men that love women after heartbreak To the tears they catch but didn't make them fall To the strong and sturdy shoulders helping her get older And the ones that get forever after all It ain't fair and it's hard to understand It ain't easy but you do it because you can You don't see my heart as secondhand And baby, that's why it takes a man To love women after heartbreak To the architect that's broke down the house The carpenter and painter The all night renovater who's building her up from the ground It ain't fair and it's hard to understand It ain't easy but you do it because you can You don't see my heart as secondhand And baby, that's why it takes a man To the man that loved this woman after heartbreak Thank you for all you didn't have to do When I met you, I was jaded, sad and complicated You'll never know how much I needed you No, you'll never know how much I needed you
