Five o’clock traffic, all four lanes are down to a crawl He’s sitting there knowing that he’s going nowhere at all Then finally he sees the wreck And says a prayer for whoever they are Then everything changes the second he sees it’s her car [Chorus] He really loves you And God knows it’s true And it’s something he’d say And he’d tell you each day It was the way that He knew But to some of us guys, you don’t realize How to say it is just not what we do And it’s so hard to see, but take it from me He really loves you Down on the shoulder, he’s running as fast as he can Dying to hold her, he’s truly a desperate man
And he falls to his knees at the wreck Up close it all looks so much worse Same color, same model, but the car in the crash isn’t hers [Chorus] He really loves you And God knows it’s true And it’s something he’d say And he’d tell you each day It was the way that He knew But to some of us guys, you don’t realize How to say it is just not what we do And it’s so hard to see, but take it from me He really loves you I come home tonight like everything is alright But nothing’s changed, but it’s simply not true Been there today, and you’d see the way He really loves you
