lyrics

I’ve been holding my tongue
Biting my lip
For so long I can taste the blood
Holdin’ onto these words
Ones I can’t take back
Once they’re said
You can do with them as you please

I’ve been fighting with myself
Lord knows I’ve fought with you
Other than that, we get along just fine
The problem is
I’m still in love with you

One thing I know is that
Time is not our friend
No amount of time
Will fix what’s wrong
One thing we both know
Is that the honeymoon is over
The luster has worn off

Like the Dutch boy with my finger in the dam
I’m waiting for the hurt to come crashing through
I can give you all or give up everything I am
The problem is
I’m still in love with you

Lovin’ you is like fire
It takes up all the air in the room
You leave me breathless, burning for more
‘Til there isn’t any more
But I need more than that

I’m good at playing the fool
Turns out you’re good at it too
Why don’t we say hello
To the elephant in the room
You could yell, I could scream
Or we could hold each other one last time
And feel redeemed

I can’t have it both ways
I can’t stay the same and I know I can’t change you
One thing I can do is walk away
The problem is
I’m still in love with you
