You say goodbye.
It's slow now.
I say I miss you when you're gone.
 Clean up myself.
Say you love me.
Make sure I'm enough
to be the one
who keeps up
with you now.
 Make fun of me
when I'm around.
 I'll take the fights
as long as I can.
Tie up my hands.
 I got no plans.

Chip away the fun.
Am I growing out of being
in love with what's
nothing like me?
You grew up to be
everything you saw in your
family. All
of them love you.
 You live to love me.
 Slowly, counting every breath
it takes to say please.
I'm laying off the bad times.
I'm moving forward.
No more dealing with the headaches. You
can't make it hurt
 anymore than it does.

You want love
handed to you without the the thorns
hanging off.
That's not how the river flows
against the wind.
You're looking for the kind of life where
pain looks good.
Well, am I looking good?
 I'm hurting.
Reach inside me and you'll find what
you've been missing.

Live to love me.
Slowly counting every breath it
takes to say please.
I'm laying off the bad times.
 I'm moving forward.
No more dealing with the headaches.
You can't make it hurt
anymore than it does.
