Short Lived Love

I'm trapped in a hospital room
That hospital room is inside my head
Doctors are tryin' to mend the stitches on my broken heart
Lord, get me out of this goddamn bed

I fell in love with a woman
Sweetest girl I've ever seen
I tried to show her the better side of myself
Give her the best part of me

This one thing can give me back my freedom
I just wanna hear you say my name

It was short-lived love
Runnin' down a highway, hittin' all the back roads
Hopin' that the rain came down on a Sunday
Stay a little longer, I don't wanna wondеr
If I'm gonna see you next weekend
Now your memory's all I got
It was short-livеd love

I've tried everything to forget about you
Mixed more gin with tonic than an average man should
Powdered my brain with the harshest of chemicals
Tried to disappear for the greater good

There's something 'bout the way I look at you
There's something 'bout the way you look at me
I can't seem to recreate that with another woman
That's enough to tell me I ain't ready to set you free

It was short-lived love
Runnin' down a highway, hittin' all the back roads
Hopin' that the rain came down on a Sunday
Stay a little longer, I don't wanna wonder
If I'm gonna see you next weekend
Now your memory's all I got
Now your memory's all I got
It was short-lived love

Short-lived love
