To the men that love women after heartbreak
To the hellos that come after goodbyes
To the rain that was falling that watered the garden
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 ‘em fall
To the strong and sturdy shoulders helping her get over
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 ‘cause 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 breaking down the house
The carpenter and painter
The all-night renovator
Building her back up from the ground

It ain’t fair, and it’s hard to understand
It ain’t easy, but you do it ‘cause 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
Thanks 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
