Keep You Lyrics

We said goodbye, tried her hand at magic 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
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 doin' this to me?
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 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 'Til you can't feel anything
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 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 doin' this to me?
