Keep You

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 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 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 Till 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 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?
