Keep You Lyrics by Sugarland

Love on the Inside [Deluxe Fan Edition]

2008

[Verse 1]
We said goodbye, tried a hand at magic
But we couldn't make us disappear
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you
So in a way, I'm glad you're still here
It's a bittersweet victory
Lovin' the ghost in front of me

[Chorus]
Now I can't laugh, can't cry
And I can't run, can't hide

[Post-Chorus]
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doin' this to me?

[Verse 2]
I wrote a couple of notes, one in love, one in anger
They're lyin' there dyin' in the dresser drawer
Lived louder than my voice, struggled through a stranger
He loved me 'til I loved you even more
It's a bittersweet victory
Knowin' someone else wanted me

[Chorus]
Now I can't laugh, can't cry
And I can't run, can't hide

[Bridge]
You get used to the pain
And numb to the sting
'Til you can't feel anything

[Verse 3]
You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it
As if your words were my tears
Flowin' freely, warm and quiet
From the edges of my eyes, in my ears
Then all that disappears

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doin' this to me?
