[Lyric] Blessing (TJ Washburn)

I called your parents on the phone
To tell them what I plan to do
To tell them all the ways I’ve changed
To say I plan to marry you

Your mother joked around a bit
Your father wept to hear the news
When I said how it came to this
My eyes were filled with water too

I am not ashamed
I will never be the same
Only you to blame
You can have my life and my last name

They could tell that I was scared
That I was nervous they’d be mad
That thеy’d see only my mistakes
Every time I’vе made you sad

I heard them smile as if to say
That we are more than just our bad
I asked them if I’d had their blessing
And they assured me that I had
I am not ashamed
I will never be the same
Only you to blame
You can have my life and my last name

Things feel now like they once did
Back before they fell apart
I feel hopeful once again
I feel joy in this new start

I feel trust for what’s to come
I feel honest in my art
I feel you should have my soul
You already have my heart

I am not ashamed
I will never be the same
Only you to blame
Take from me my life and my last name
