lyrics
I’m starting to feel we stay together out of fear of dying alone
I’ve been slipping through the years and my old clothes don’t fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts of the people I’ve been
But it’s like my heart can’t be tamed and I fall in love every day and I feel like a fool
And I have to face the truth that no one could ever look at me like you do
Like I’m something worth holding on to
There’s times I think of leaving but it’s something I’ll never do
‘Cause you can do better than me but I can’t do better than you
I’ve been slipping through the years and my old clothes don’t fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts of the people I’ve been
But it’s like my heart can’t be tamed and I fall in love every day and I feel like a fool
And I have to face the truth that no one could ever look at me like you do
Like I’m something worth holding on to
There’s times I think of leaving but it’s something I’ll never do
‘Cause you can do better than me but I can’t do better than you
