Content
In the song, Nate Smith thanks his significant other for staying with him and seeing the person he is, as opposed to others in the past who have not accepted and left him: "I'm a little damaged, but damn you saw the good / When everyone saw baggage, you loved when no one could / Laying in this bed beside you, I don't have to hide away / You see all the wreckage and it wrecks me that you stay".
