Outside never felt so good In sunshine and the beauty of my world In circles we’ve gone round and round But I can’t change the situation on the ground Coming up quick, said you better get out my way I'm coming on fast; listen to what I say Oo-o-o-o-o-o You can’t charm me, what ya think I’m giving back my wedding ring Oo-o-o-o-o-o And I won’t feel a thing Spent a long time erasing the damage that you’ve done And boy, it’s not my fault, only you just weren’t the one How many years been wasted trying to reach my peak I may have been a fool, but it’s my turn to be a freak Oo-o-o-o-o-o You can’t charm me, what ya think I’m giving back my wedding ring Oo-o-o-o-o-o And I won’t.... I ain’t going back You know what I'm going through I'm done wasting my time with you Hurt me like a heart attack I'm giving you your ring back I ain't going back You'll be missing me I told you it's the last time baby But you didn't believe
2.
Sit down, there's something that I got to tell you Gonna make you not want to love Any way you cut it you're gonna lose Gonna make you lose your mind When the clouds lift up And the sun comes out And you feel its heat on the back of your neck That's when you will know That's when you will know it will get better Little girl I could tell you that I know how you feel But I don't and I never will No matter how bad you're hurting baby it's gonna heal With a scar that is always there When the clouds lift up And the sun comes out And you feel its heat on the back of your neck That's when you will know That's when you will know it will get better I should've known that you'd feel this way I should've known that I'd take the blame Someday baby it'll be ok I'm done playing this poor man's game When the clouds lift up And the sun comes out And you feel its heat on the back of your neck That's when you will know That's when you will know That's when you will know That's when you will know it will get better When the clouds lift up And the sun comes out And you feel its heat on the back of your neck That's when you will know That's when you will know it will get better

Look at my face I could never lie to you Look at my hands They’re worried about the things they’ll do Look at my eyes They’re aching for love from you Look at my heart Broken clean in two I could really hold on to you I could really hold on to you I’ll never regret the hours we stole away I can’t forget the things I wanted to say Can you come away, far away from this place Can I kiss your lips, put my hands on your waist I could really hold on to you I could really hold on to you There’s nothing I can do There’s nothing I can say To make this easier It’s never been so hard It’s never been so rough As it is right now I could really hold on to you I could really hold on to you Look at my face I could never lie to you
5.
Part of me pictured you this whole time Never could believe that you could be mine Saw a new life in your eyes It never felt so real, it all feels different this time You’re the truth behind what lies in me You’re the reason it’s been so hard to sleep I can feel you with me all the time In the smallest ways and subtle signs You give me feelings that I can’t deny I feel us growing and it’s only time Before I know your name Child I must be glowing from head to toe But if they only knew you’re the star of my show I can’t wait ’til I can see you again I’m counting down the days, so much inside my head You’re the truth behind what lies in me You’re the reason it’s been so hard to sleep I can feel you with me all the time In the smallest ways and subtle signs You give me feelings that I can’t deny I feel us growing and it’s only time Before I know your name
6.
I have walked away from the things that I couldn’t understand I have done what’s right, what I felt was right for myself I have seen it through and I ain’t seen you for so long I feel circumspect because heaven sent you through There’s got to be a better way A better way to live When I’m all alone and the lights are down, my mind’s fixed on you Did I go too fast, take it to the past with you I’ve been missing you and I ain’t seen you for so long What did I expect when I can’t get next to you There’s got to be a better way A better way to live
7.
Been three long days since I walked out your door I’ve thought it through and I know who it’s for Sometimes it’s hard to realize the pain you’re in But I know it’s right, and I feel it’s right Somehow we can start again I’m telling you that In love if you ain’t breaking nothing I’m telling you boy, you’re probably doing nothing But with me think of how good it will be I swear I do it all for you I do it all for you I can’t even listen to the songs that I wrote It’s like torture on my radio So wait now baby, let me explain I know they’re wrong when they tell me You can’t lose if you never play I’m telling you that In love if you ain’t breaking nothing I’m telling you boy, you’re probably doing nothing But with me think of how good it will be I swear I do it all for you I do it all for you I can’t call you, write you No baby I can’t I’m thinking about you Every time I get the chance So wait now baby, listen to me Hold on to love, hold on to us Hold on to me I’m telling you that In love if you ain’t breaking nothing I’m telling you boy, you’re probably doing nothing But with me think of how good it will be I swear I do it all for you I do it all for you
8.
We have walked through the valleys and the shadows of life Back and forth across my hometown Blisters on my feet, you are on my mind That’s my penance for hanging around Should’ve known right then when you said, “My friend I won’t be happy ’til I’m on the ground” I’ll get down, I’ll get down, I’ll get down I’ll get down Holy road, holy road won’t you lead me home Far away from temptation tonight My legs are so strong, my will is so weak And I don’t think I can put up a fight What would you do if I came up to you Said I was lost but now I’m found You’ll get down, you’ll get down, you’ll get down I bet that you’ll get down Funny how it’s easy to turn it on, twist it up ‘Cause even in my dreams, you can always fill my cup I can’t be far gone, I can’t be far off I’m coming up to a fork in the road Deliver me now, deliver me then As long as I get where I’m going We can’t be who we want if we keep falling off Wish I knew which way that I’m bound Let’s get down, let’s get down, let’s get down Let’s get down We can be who we want, so glad I’ve been found Let’s get down, let’s get down, let’s get down, Let’s get down
9.
Nothing’s black and white and this is never easy I’ve been staying up all night thinking about your tears And if I came and answered your call And if I did what I said I won’t Babe I couldn’t be the one that you love Sweetness from your lips but bitter is your tongue And what you wouldn’t give to make me your own And if I came and answered your call And if I did what I said I won’t Babe I couldn’t be the one that you love
10.
My baby I know it’s late And I’m back on the road again A phone call because we’re miles apart But I feel you close deep inside my heart If I’m not by your side when you go to sleep Shut your eyes and I will always be Hush little baby don’t you cry Mama’s gonna get everything by and by A starlit sky for your room I’ll sing you a song and wrap you in my cocoon If I’m not by your side when you go to sleep Shut your eyes and I will always be I’m on my way home, I’m on my way home If I’m not by your side When you go to sleep Shut your eyes and I will always be Carry me home, carry me home I miss you I’ll be there soon Sleep tight I’ll be there right by your side I dream of my big girl’s smile And how you point to the sky I know it seems way too long But mama’s almost home Don’t walk ’til I get to see Is that her laughing? When I’m gone you must know You’re never alone
