lyrics

Don’t say I never loved you, ‘cause I love you more than ever today.
Don’t say I never show you, ‘cause you know I hate to see you that way.

Somewhere in my parents’ house, the Lord waits patiently
I read my books, I sing my songs, but in the end where will I be?
Your biblical name scares the hell out of me, and lately I’m not sure what I believe.
I feel you in songs, but I don’t feel you for long - why don’t you stay around constantly?

Don’t say I never loved you, ‘cause I love you more than ever today.
Don’t say I never show you, ‘cause you know I hate to see you that way.

Don’t say I never come home
Don’t say that I don’t
It’s your fault you don’t look for me

Don’t say that I’m wrong
I’ve been here for so long
I know that one day you’ll see me

I don’t know what to do to make you see I’m worth your time
I know you wanna love me but you won’t fall for my best lines
When we shook it out, I was so sure you were mine, but you shook away from me
I feel you when you sing, but that don’t mean anything - why don’t you stay around constantly?

Don’t say I never loved you, ‘cause I love you more than ever today.
Don’t say I never show you, ‘cause you know I hate to see you that way.

Don’t say I never come home
Don’t say that I don’t
It’s your fault you don’t look for me

Don’t say that I’m wrong
I’ve been here for so long
I know that one day you’ll see me
