To the men that love women after heartbreak
To the hellos that come after goodbyes
To the rain that was falling that watered the garden
And the ones that bring the flowers back to life
To the men that love women after heartbreak
To the tears they catch but didn't make 'em fall
To the strong and sturdy shoulders helpin' her get over
And the ones that get forever after all
It ain't fair and it's hard to understand
It ain't easy but you do it 'cause you can
You don't see my heart as secondhand
And, baby, that's why it takes a man
To love women after heartbreak
To the architect that's breakin' down the house
Mm, the carpenter and painter
The all-night renovator
Buildin' her back up from the ground
It ain't fair and it's hard to understand
It ain't easy but you do it 'cause you can
You don't see my heart as secondhand
And, baby, that's why it takes a man
Mm, ah
Oh, yeah
To the man that loved this woman after heartbreak
Thanks 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
