Sugarland - Keep You lyrics

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 bitter sweet victory
Loving 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
Knowing someone else 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?
