Keep You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We said goodbye, tried a hand at magic But we couldn't make us disappear Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you So in a way, I'm glad you're still here It's a bittersweet victory Lovin' the ghost in front of me [Chorus] Now I can't laugh, can't cry And I can't run, can't hide [Post-Chorus] What do I gotta do? What do I gotta do to keep you? What do I gotta do to keep you from doin' this to me? [Verse 2] I wrote a couple of notes, one in love, one in anger They're lyin' there dyin' in the dresser drawer Lived louder than my voice, struggled through a stranger He loved me 'til I loved you even more It's a bittersweet victory Knowin' someone else wanted me [Chorus] Now I can't laugh, can't cry And I can't run, can't hide [Bridge] You get used to the pain And numb to the sting 'Til you can't feel anything [Verse 3] You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it As if your words were my tears Flowin' freely, warm and quiet From the edges of my eyes, in my ears Then all that disappears [Chorus] Now I can't laugh, can't cry And I can't run, can't hide Now I can't laugh, can't cry And I can't run, can't hide [Post-Chorus] What do I gotta do? What do I gotta do to keep you? What do I gotta do to keep you from doin' this to me?
