Lose You Now Songtext
You're not dead to me but I hope you change
I can only love you when it's at arm's length
I've tried to fit into a smaller place
But we've both grown into harder things
So I'd wipe your tears and you'd wipe your feet
On the welcome mat you made of me
But I'll take the higher road and I'll save you from yourself
If it means there's something left of me to love for someone else
I won't scream until the earth bleeds when it only ever hurts me
I can only love you when it's at arm's length
I've tried to fit into a smaller place
But we've both grown into harder things
So I'd wipe your tears and you'd wipe your feet
On the welcome mat you made of me
But I'll take the higher road and I'll save you from yourself
If it means there's something left of me to love for someone else
I won't scream until the earth bleeds when it only ever hurts me
So I'll hold onto the good and wish you well
I don't wanna give you up but I have to lose you now
Lovin' you's like pullin' teeth
I looked real hard to find your decency
When you envy what you have to see
You pull the plug when the light's on me
And worst of all while you watched me sleep
You were makin' friends out of my enemies
But I'll take the higher road and I'll save you from yourself
If it means there's something left of me to love for someone else
I won't scream until the earth bleeds when it only ever hurts me
So I'll hold onto the good and wish you well
I don't wanna give you up
It's so easy
To hurt the one that made you feel the most
So I had to go
No, you don't need me And the worst of you's already set in stone
I tried to take the higher road
I know you don't want my help
Comes a point you get so broken only you can fix yourself
I won't scream until the earth bleeds when it only ever hurts me
So I'll hold onto the good and wish you well
I don't wanna give you up
But I'll take the higher road and I'll save you from yourself
If it means there's something left of me to love for someone else
I won't scream until the earth bleeds when it only ever hurts me
So I'll hold onto the good and wish you well
I don't wanna give you up but I have to lose you now
I don't wanna give you up but I have to lose you now
Lovin' you's like pullin' teeth
I looked real hard to find your decency
When you envy what you have to see
You pull the plug when the light's on me
And worst of all while you watched me sleep
You were makin' friends out of my enemies
But I'll take the higher road and I'll save you from yourself
If it means there's something left of me to love for someone else
I won't scream until the earth bleeds when it only ever hurts me
So I'll hold onto the good and wish you well
I don't wanna give you up
It's so easy
To hurt the one that made you feel the most
So I had to go
No, you don't need me And the worst of you's already set in stone
I tried to take the higher road
I know you don't want my help
Comes a point you get so broken only you can fix yourself
I won't scream until the earth bleeds when it only ever hurts me
So I'll hold onto the good and wish you well
I don't wanna give you up
But I'll take the higher road and I'll save you from yourself
If it means there's something left of me to love for someone else
I won't scream until the earth bleeds when it only ever hurts me
So I'll hold onto the good and wish you well
I don't wanna give you up but I have to lose you now
