There'll be another 7 a.m., I'm sorry Wishing I could take back what I said As sure as right now, I've got a heartbeat I know I'll let you down again I wanna be the man you need I ain't made it up the mountain, but I'm climbing Still got some miles to go, but hell, I'm driving Ain't conquered all my demons, but I'm fighting I might never love you right, but I'll die trying And I'd love to say, I won't get jealous And that the past is back in my rearview But I know me too well, try to lie to you or myself, so If you wanna know the truth I ain't made it up the mountain, but I'm climbing Still got some miles to go, but hell, I'm driving Ain't conquered all my demons, but I'm fighting I might never love you right, but I'll die trying Yeah, I'll be trying to deserve your heart of gold 'Til I get there, or the good Lord calls me home I ain't made it up the mountain, but I'm climbing Still got some miles to go, but hell, I'm driving Ain't conquered all my demons, but I'm fighting I might never love you right, but I'll die trying Might never love you right, but I'll die trying

I've been having a hard time adjusting I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting I didn't know if you'd care if I came back I have a lot of regrets about that Pulled the car off the road to the lookout Could've followed my fears all the way down And maybe I don't quite know what to say But I'm here in your doorway I just wanted you to know That this is me trying I just wanted you to know That this is me trying They told me all of my cages were mental So I got wasted like all my potential And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad I have a lot of regrets about that I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere Fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here Pouring out my heart to a stranger But I didn't pour the whiskey I just wanted you to know That this is me trying I just wanted you to know That this is me trying At least I'm trying And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town And I just wanted you to know That this is me trying (And maybe I don't quite know what to say) I just wanted you to know That this is me trying At least I'm trying

You said you couldn't stay You've seen it all before, I know And sold you on their way Oh, honey, that's ok No harm, he's armed Settin' off all your alarms When I find out I hope it's you who set this trap And store fronts rarely change At least I'm on my own again Instead of anywhere with you Oh, tell me it's all the same And I've lost my page again I know this is surreal But I'll try my luck with you Oh, this life is on my side Oh, I am your one Believe me, this is a chance Oh-oh, oh-oh Let's see what is for sale He's trying not to give his job a chance Oh, it's never gonna be It's sad, but I agree The signals don't seem right It lasts for just one night and then I'm sorry that I said That we were just good friends No harm, he's armed Settin' off all your alarms Entranced, I can't be here in time I'll think about that And I've lost my page again I know this is surreal But I'll try my luck with you Oh, this life is on my side Well, I'm your one Believe me, this is a chance Oh-oh, oh-oh

Every night I'm lyin' in bed holdin' you close in my dreams Thinkin' about all the things that We said, and comin' apart at the seams We try to talk it over, but the words come out too rough. I know you are tryin' to give me the best of your love. Beautiful faces and loud empty places, look at the way that we live. Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine left us so little to give. That same old crowd was like a cold Dark cloud that we could never rise above. But here in my heart I give you the best of my love. Oh-oh-oh sweet darlin', (You get the best of my love) you get the best of my love. Oh-oh-oh sweet darlin', (You get the best of my love) you get the best of my love. I'm goin back in time, and it's a sweet dream. It was a quiet night, And I would be all right if I could go on sleepin'. But every mornin' I wake up and worry What's gonna happen today? You see it your way; I see it mine, but we both see it slippin' away. You know we always had each other, baby. I guess that wasn't enough. But here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

Ooh you make me live Whatever this world can give to me It's you you're all I see Oh, you make me live now honey Oh, you make me live Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had I've been with you such a long time You're my sunshine and I want you to know That my feelings are true I really love you Oh, you're my best friend Oh, you make me live Oh, I've been wandering round But I still come back to you In rain or shine You've stood by me, girl I'm happy at home You're my best friend Oh, you make me live Whenever this world is cruel to me I got you to help me forgive Oh you make me live now honey Oh you make me live You're the first one When things turn out bad You know I'll never be lonely You're my only one And I love the things I really love the things that you do Oh, you're my best friend Ooh you make me live I'm happy at home You're my best friend Oh, oh, you're my best friend Oh, you make me live You're my best friend

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
