(Made Her) Want Him Even More

That girl over there in the Blake Shelton t and faded blue jeans

Do you know her?

Have any idea what she's been through

Well then I'll tell ya

 

She was born a premature baby

Cracked open her head on a trampoline

Got her appendix removed at thirteen

Then at 14 what she was told must have made her what him even more

 

She got told she had cancer

Doctor told her parents first

Then the doctor went to her

Trying not to give anything away

But she saw his face and said give it to be straight

 

She was born a premature baby

Cracked open her head on a trampoline

Got her appendix removed at thirteen

Then at 14 what she was told must have made her what him even more

 

One day she was in the hospital

Needles all 'round sticking into her veins

Her friends were all in her room

Boys came into the room

Then some boy walked into the room

Nobody knew who it was

But that girl took in a breath

And they knew he must be someone


 

She was born a premature baby

Cracked open her head on a trampoline

Got her appendix removed at thirteen

Then at 14 what she was told must have made her what him even more


 

He came to the bed

And whispered one word

Sorry

Sorry I left

Sorry I didn't say goodbye

Sorry I didn't tell you something that's been waiting four years to long

I love you

Then she said

Kiss me and don't ever let me go

I'm scarred ‘cuz

I don't know how much

I have left

How much longer I can fight

 

He told her

Once you get weak

I'll be strong

And I'm gonna do everything I can

But first kiss me and don't let go

 

That made her fight

Want to live

And it made her

Made her want

Want him

Made her want him even more
