Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] My honey's heart is blue and a second offbeat Always tugging at me like he's running out of daylight Yeah, my baby acts cool, but they all know something ain't right, ain't right (Know something ain't right) Only acting this cool when he's walking with me 1998 forever and a day I keep the pictures hanging where the world can see 'em I hope we die today, save me from another late night of red eyes But then the morning comes You were there, looking for me, but I I was gone, turned my back for a moment, and You had fallen apart [Verse 2] They've been promising the lights as we beg for our lives Selling pages of the times we've been waiting on Now the weight's too much, and I can't hold you anymore How much of a cruel year can you call my fault? Not even the memories are immortal Terrified on this side of a conversation A conversation we'll never come back from I'll never live it down if I never get around it 'Cause goddamnit, I did it to myself in hindsight I liked him 'cause his rule was, "Do whatever you like" and I tried, alright Now I'll wear these scars for life I loved you when it hurt inside to But in the low light You know I'd do anything for you [Chorus] You know I'd do anything for you You know it's true, 'cause I've said it to you Held in my arms, I swore I'd be good to you (Be good to you, be good to you) Then sat and watched as you walked away from me (From me, from me) [Verse 3] Yeah, you've changed, but did I ever know you? Or did I hold you facing away from me? The air in your room never moves Live and die by the TV no one's watching Do you hate me? When this is over Maybe then, we'll get some sleep I've been picking names for our children You've been wondering how you're gonna feed them Love is not enough in this world But I still believe in Nebraska dreamin' 'Cause I'd rather die Than be anything but your girl [Verse 4] I never meant to hurt you But somehow, I knew I would Will it be like this forever? (Forever) Forever? (Forever) I’d reach into your body and fix you if I could Will I feel like this forever? (Forever) Forever? (Forever) Are you angry? Do you hate me? And darling, time may forgive me But I won't Ah-ah [Chorus] You know I'd do anything for you You know it's true, 'cause I've said it to you, ooh Held in my arms, I swore I'd be good to you (Be good to you, be good to you) Then sat and watched as you walked away from me (From me) So I bled 'til I cried, 'til I felt I might die To be known the way you should is to put yourself through hell, hell Still, I waited and tried, 'til it killed me 'Cause you're right (It killed me, it killed me) I can wait if I want But it'll never be good enough like I want to believe it is It is [Post-Chorus] It is you It is you It is you [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Instrumental Outro]
