[Verse 1]
To the men that love women after heartbreak
To the hellos that come after goodbyes
To the rain that was falling but watered the gardens
And the ones that bring the flowers back to life

[Verse 2]
To the men that love women after heartbreak
To the tears they catch but didn't make them fall
To the strong and sturdy shoulders helping her get older
And the ones that get forever after all

[Chorus]
It ain't fair and it's hard to understand
It ain't easy but you do it because you can
You don't see my heart as secondhand
And baby, that's why it takes a man
To love women after heartbreak

[Verse 3]
To the architect that's broke down the house
The carpenter and painter
The all night renovater who's building her up from the ground

[Chorus]
It ain't fair and it's hard to understand
It ain't easy but you do it because you can
You don't see my heart as secondhand
And baby, that's why it takes a man
[Outro]
To the man that loved this woman after heartbreak
Thank you 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
