I know some things that you won't understand till you're older
I know some things that'll take more than time getting over

She'll break your heart
Then you'll jump in your car
Drive for hours and cry on the shoulder
Take it from me
When you watch someone leave
It ca

Don't know how her backs not broken
From all the weight she carries
Don't know how her hearts still going strong
From the way she raised her family
To the person that she married
I've never seen her get it wrong

And they don't make 'em like they used to
She's just f

There's a thousand reasons this won't work
I can count the ways we'll crash and burn
There's a thousand reasons not to try
But is one enough to change your mind?

There's a hundred ways to break your heart
But I'll never know if we don't start
There's a hundred signs to

You were there in times of need
Helped me up when I was weak
Showed me that it's okay to dream
And there's a world that I need to see

Pushed me further when I would give up
Pushed me harder when I would fall
You were there in my weakest moments
You told me that it's

We'll be okay if we text everyday
One state away
Communicate
I'll believe it when I see it
And we'll be fine
When all the stars align
For you and I
But darling, I'll believe it when I see it

'Cause the words you say just feel so far away from being honest
We

I don't know who said
It's just a cake and a wish is a waste of your breath
I don't know who lied
And tried to convince you that grown ups are too old to cry

But you come alive when you think no ones watchin'
The colors get bright even when tears are fallin'
I love your

Brown eyes, brown hair
That sunlight, that glare, but
She seems insecure in all the photos
She hides inside
Her emotions aside so
She can seem okay can't have her friends know

But way deep down she's a lost soul searching
Small town girl never know she's hurting

I've seen broken hearts
Nights sleeping in my car
When things just fall apart
When nothing seemed to last

I've had friends walk away
When things didn't go as planed
I've thrown it all away
For that one in a million chance

And people always say they'd take a sh

I hope you get your moms eyes
And see the world the way she does
I know you'll shine bright

I hope you know that you're enough
I probably won't always get it right
I'll probably let you down once or twice
But I won't stop for nothing, no

Dear son or daughter
I

I heard you just touched down in LA
From a post on Instagram
I thought that I would be the one to pick you up
I never had to find a reason to get out my phone and call
Now I can't even think of one

Oh, you weren't lying
When you said that we'd be stupid not to try it

Hey brother, I know it's been a while
Since the last time I checked in, you got any new friends
I haven't heard about?
How is our mother? I haven't really been around
I know what she says right now, might not make much sense

But soon you'll find out
That mom and dad kno

For so long I thought we could make it
But I was learning the best way to fake it
Hiding behind what we painted
Like it wouldn't wash off when the rain hit

And I should be fine
I should be fine by now

If it wasn't for you
I'd be alright
If it wasn't for you

Laying here thinking as you fall asleep
Where I am right now is where I should be
Loving you 'cause you're all that I'd ever need
Before I met you it was three empty words
That I overused and never could learn
Loving you is the best thing for me
We're overthinking all the

Three months straight
Three calls a day
No wonder I can't fall asleep at night
It felt so right
I'm overthinking
All the ways
I might've messed it up, I don't know why
It felt so right

You made me believe
That the problem was me when it's you
It was you,

It was you when we first met eyes
It was you in the city lights
It was you when I almost lost control
It was you through the darkest times
It was you that would make me shine
It was you that I hold on tight
It's always been you

So let the doors just open wide
'C

I pull to the side of the highway
I can't feel my hands on the wheel
I don't know if I'm dying
But I think that this must be how it feels

It's deep in my heart like a poison
It's breaking me down to the bone
I don't know if I'm makin' it worse
But I, I just can't be

I met somebody
Selfless and kind
She’s got a smile even when she isn't fine
She can be hurting but she's got enough love to fill up Tennessee

I met somebody
Stays up at night
I see her worry and she sees all of mine
I met somebody she really loves me says I'm all sh

Oh, oh, oh

Never have I ever made Christmas plans in June
Or bought a stupid present I would never give you
Thought about a family, we're not even 22
It was nice to dream about how much I would mean to you

But who's gonna miss me now
And wish me happy birthday?
Is

I thought I saw you in the parking lot at 12:05
As I passed by
I thought I heard you say my name, but it was just my mind
I swear I'm fine
Cause I've been loving somebody new
It's picture-perfect, don't wanna lose it
I still feel you on my skin, but I'm with her tonight</

Sleeping in
Late again
But it's perfect timing
Staying up
Just to talk
It's getting hard to hide it
We've both been hurt enough and
We know we shouldn't rush it
It might sound dumb
But I'm pretty sure

I think I'm gonna love you
I think I'm gonna brin
