You Proof

"You Proof" came from a real moment in my military journey. Not every story is easy to tell. This one came from a dark place, from struggles that many of us face but don't always talk about. "I thought my heart was sealed and dead—Till you smiled and cracked my lead."—that's the raw truth. I wrote this because I know I'm not alone in these battles, and maybe sharing my story helps someone else feel less alone too.

I've heard from so many veterans and active-duty members who connect with this song. That's what makes it worth it—knowing that our shared experiences, our stories, can bring us together.

We serve with honor, we live with purpose, and we tell our stories so others know they're not alone.

This is more than a song—it's our story. And I'm honored to share it with you.

(Inspired by “You Proof” — drinking away someone; twist: someone proves love is possible again) Verse 1 I tried whiskey, tried cheap beer,Tried outrunnin’ what I felt in here.Told myself love wasn’t in the cards,Built up walls, played it hard.But then you walked in with that quiet grin,Didn’t push, just settled in.Talked to me like I wasn’t broken,Heard the silence between what’s spoken. Verse 2 You saw the ring line on my hand,Didn’t judge, just took your stand.“You don’t have to rush,” is what you said,“Just let my presence in your head.”And slowly, like dawn creeps up the sky,You turned my “never” into “might try.”I realized love ain’t some old sin—You’re proof I can love again. Pre-Chorus I thought my heart was sealed and dead—Till you smiled and cracked my lead. Chorus You’re you-proof I can love again,The antidote to what I’ve been.Didn’t drown the past in alcohol—You just showed me I can feel at all.Yeah, you’re living, breathing evidenceThat I can loveAgain. Bridge I don’t need a bottle to forget—I need your laugh I can’t regret.
