1. I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be.

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm blows through
And I need you.

[Chorus:]
'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say
It's true, God gave me you, gave me you.

2. There's more here than what we're seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me.

You'll always be love's great martyr
I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you, yeah.

[Chorus]

3. On my own I'm only half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together and what love has tethered
I pray we never undo.

'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt.

[Chorus]
He gave me you.
