word is that you’re sad, it makes me sad too
they say the light inside your eyes is a duller blue
I wish I could be the one to turn it up again
I see you making changes but I don’t know why
you think your heart needs fixing or the reasons you would try
to fight against the grace that was never meant to bend
do you need to play so strong?
baby it’s gone on too long
you could be easier on your love
filling up your backseat with tattered maps
folded up inside your mind with everything you lack
when you’re out there on the road you always stop to start
in the footlights’ glare you feel another way
and you face them like you mean it but what you don’t say
is: “you can hold my songs but you’ll never take my heart”
and do you need to play so strong?
baby it’s gone on too long
you could be easier on your love
did you really wish it gone?
baby it’s gone on too long
you could be easier on your love
when will you love you like I love you?
keep this declaration where you need to
you won’t ever have to voice it cause you know it’s true
I won’t ever say no to holding onto you
