Story Behind The Song
My wife prepared divorce papers for me. I held out for a while, but she didn't respect that. I gave her what she wanted, even though I thought it was a poisonous maneuver for us both. God have mercy.
Song Description
12 Steppers are wise to say that you can only change yourself. When someone wants to control themself in a way that leaves you out--you gotta let go. Its no good to try to control someone else. So you gotta give them what they want, even if you know its gonna blow for them. Parents can be the most experienced at at letting their kids find their own way the hard way. I signed the papers for my divorce and set my bitter wife free.

Lyrics
I?m gonna save us
I?m gonna give you what you want
To many reasons why we can?t justify our love
I?m gonna save us
I?m gonna give you what you asked
A broken heart but a purer chance
Cause we won?t make in far
Shedding our intentions in the dark
And keeping secrets with the stars
You could have loved anyone
You could have loved anyone you wanted
But I?m still here taking you on
Taking on the mountain
But I?m still thousand times a fool
Looking to save a piece of you
But in my heart I feel something?s wrong
On certain days
And you?re where I have to start
Up from your bed and on my way
Cause we won?t make it far
Shedding out intentions in the night
And keepings secrets with the stars
Bridge:
When we were young
We had a plan but needed a hand
We went ahead alone on our own
And built a broken home
