Love You Like This

We knew that it would never be easy
You tell me every night that you need me
And every time we talk it just feels so wrong
To be here and not there when you need me
We knew from the start that we'd do this
And I still wanna try and get through it
My heart feels wrenched and my mind feels trapped
I'm too caught up in my past excuses

I don't wanna live so lifeless
I don't wanna speak with tight lips
And every time I call
I don't wanna see you bawl
All I say is it's ok
And we'll fight this
I tell you all the times that I miss
You and write it down on my list
Too many to count
Home is wherever you're at
I still wanna try and
Love you like this

One, two, I miss you
And I've said it all before but now I need a rescue
There's been way too many nights where I haven't come through
And I know I messed up, can I make it up to you cause
I don't wanna weigh you down love
I wanna be something you're proud of
I need you to hold me
And say it's all okay
And say I'm not lonely when I'm alone

I don't wanna live so lifeless
I don't wanna speak with tight lips
And every time I call
I don't wanna see you bawl
All I say is it's ok
And we'll fight this
I tell you all the times that I miss
You and write it down on my list
Too many to count
Home is wherever you're at
I still wanna try and
Love you like this

In fifty years
When we're old and gray
We'll think back and say
Yah, I'm glad I stayed
While we're watching stars
And we're up too late
While we reminisce on the old days
So I'm never gonna call it quits
Even when the hard stuff hits
I'll be here for you
We can make it through

I don't wanna live so lifeless
I don't wanna speak with tight lips
And every time I call
I don't wanna see you bawl
All I say is it's ok
And we'll fight this
I tell you all the times that I miss
You and write it down on my list
Too many to count
Home is wherever you're at
I still wanna try and
Love you like this
