Dear Sweetheart, dear lost love of my life
I’ve been looking through bottles trying to find you all night
When I find you we’re going to pretend it’s all right
We’re going to whisper sweet nothings while I hold you so tight
But Today is no better than yesterday
Especially not after trying to drink last night away
Now I’m doing my best not to find the words to say
I miss you so deadly, I wish you had stayed.
I was going to find you one day and make you my wife
and the birds and the bees would take to the sky
I didn’t care to bother to ask myself why
I just wanted to be with you forever, ’til the day that I die
Been walking these streets through the cold and the rain
Looking for the answers, or maybe something to blame
Maybe I should blow out of here on a cross country train
This bottle gave me warmth but can’t take away pain
[bridge]
I’ve been pushing so hard, for so long now
Been having trouble sleeping, forgot how to slow down
Kicked the bottle last week, trying to stay straight somehow
It can only get better if the fates allow
I lost everything trying to drink my heart company
Been singing these songs trying to remember the best of me
And though in my head it all worked out better than it could ever be
Now I pray by this guitar, Lord, let me be free
Well they say..
To try is to risk failure
And to hope is to risk pain
but if I don't try and I don't hope
I may never see you again
Because to love is too risk all of me
and it's the hope for a better day
so even if you don't love me
won't you just say it anyway
Because..
To try is to risk failure
and to hope is too risk pain
but if I don't try and I don't hope
I may never see the light of day
To love is to risk all of me
wouldn't have it any other way
I've given you all I can of me
so darlin won't you stay
I've cashed in all of my hopes and dreams
don't make me face this night alone
to walk the streets under starless skies
I just might not make it home
So..
I'm risking all this pain and failure
If I don't I failed anyway
I hope my heart lives throught this night
so together we can run away
My love, I give you all of me
Won't you take me here to stay
we could love each other all our lives
until the end of days.
No Better End - Stay
I’ve been walkin through this world walkin alone but I’m not sad
Once in a while one tends to feel blue but I promise it’s not all that bad
I had no intentions not even a dream I’d meet someone you
Someone to steer me off that path but baby I guess it’s true
So just stay stay and walk with me for a while
Just stay so I can bathe in your smile
I may not know where your comin from but i know some places you’ve been
I’ve been keepin it to myself but denying this is a sin
So just stay stay and talk with me for a while
Just stay so I can bathe in your smile
Maybe I told you I wouldn’t do this but I’m tired of living in denial
I promised myself I wouldn’t do this but I’m but now my heart’s on trial
Autumn it’ll be coming too soon winter’s not so far away
Spring is just around the corner Summer won’t be here to stay
There are many seasons to this life and though this season may pass
I just want to walk with you a little more I just want to make you laugh
I may not know where your comin from but i know some places you’ve been
I don’t know where we’re headed but I’d like to see you again
Then you stayed and we walked for a while
You stayed I can’t get enough of that smile
You stayed I hope you stick around for a while
Just stay Cuz baby I’m not through by a mile
I may not know where your comin’ from but i know some places you’ve been
we might be heading of to destruction but then we’ll be back again
So just stay.
