How Many Times

How may times did we open up
your mouth and say something
you didn't want to say but had to
how many times did we open up
our eyes and our legs too
and see if we could do it again
i don't want no one to forget you
i'll hide you tears away inside
this box i keep in my room
i'd be a fool to hold you up or down
you'll be the only one
we'll run into the ground that you love
say that you'll leave but
you ask me for more
leave our doubts outside
the bedroom door
i'd love to take you out
and let you in
forget the consequence
you always win
say that my name is all i have to give
wonder how we are supposed to live
you talk about your man
the mess we're in
if we should sink or swim
you oughta go to him
every night i wait
and as the darkness dissipates
i hope to see your shadow
on my door
got no confidence and you
ain't got no common sense
baby its too late for us for sure
all those things we said
we believed them too
but maybe all those things
just weren't true
you know i still love you
and i hope you love me too
there's nothing left to do
