Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got back from a long flight You said you'd meet me there I've been tripping off constellations and stars I found you at home, what was our home With another man, oh man Been keeping you in my heart [Pre-Chorus] And so I whispered into your ear "What are you thinking about?" You just looked up at the stars And so I whispered into your ear "Who are you thinking about?" It couldn't be me [Chorus] And you can't look me in my eyes anymore Without the rivers to tend Because you remember our love was true But you just needed a hand And you can't look me in my eyes anymore Without yourself to defend You know you hurt me so bad Just 'cause you needed a hand And I went off and saw things I've never seen I really wanted you there But you ruined what was love Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand [Verse 2] This is the way that it all falls This is how I feel This is what I need You, by me--right here--by me Right now [Pre-Chorus] And so I whispered into your ear "What are you thinking about?" You just looked up at the stars And so I whispered into your ear "Who are thinking about?" It couldn't be me [Chorus] And you can't look me in my eyes anymore Without the rivers to tend Because you remember our love was true But you just needed a hand And you can't look me in my eyes anymore Without yourself to defend You know you hurt me so bad Just 'cause you needed a hand [Refrain] And I went off and saw things I've never seen I really wanted you there But you ruined what was love Just cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand [Chorus] And you can't look me in my eyes anymore Without the rivers to tend Because you remember our love was true But you just needed a hand And you can't look me in my eyes anymore Without yourself to defend You know you hurt me so bad Just cause you needed a hand [Refrain] And I went off and saw things I've never seen I really wanted you there But you ruined what was love Just cause you needed a hand Just cause you needed a hand Just cause you needed a hand Just cause you needed a hand Just cause you needed a hand Just 'cause you needed a hand
