Keep You Songtext
von Sugarland

We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic.
But we couldn′t make us disappear.
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.
So run away, I′m glad you're still here.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin′ the ghost in front of me.

Now I can′t laugh, can't cry.
And I can′t run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?


I wrote a couple of notes.
One in love, one in anger.
They′re lying there dying in the dresser drawer.
Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
He loved me until I loved you even more.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin′ someone else who wanted me.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can′t run, can′t hide.
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting
Till you can't feel anything.

You tried to explain, but I couldn′t hear it.
As if your words were my tears.
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.
Then all that disappears.

Now I can't laugh, can′t cry.
And I can't run, can′t hide.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can′t run, can′t hide.

What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
