"Useless" lyrics

"Useless"

Oh no, I think I might need him
Oh-whoa, like air that I breathe in
But I don't want to lose control
Oh no, I should try harder to let go
Before it goes farther
Before he starts to feel like home

But if he changed me for the better
You bet I'll never let him know
God knows that I'm too stubborn to let it show
But he says

"You could keep fightin' it off, but you'll keep on losin'
You can act tough, like you don't care much, but I see right through it
Through that heart you swear never breaks
And in between every word that you don't say
You could keep pushin' this love down, but it ain't movin'
Baby, it's useless"

Oh, the way that he holds me
So close, never leavin' me lonely
It's gettin' hard to keep these walls held high
And when the light out back went missin'
You got the ladder out and fixed it
Made me a side with a glass of wine
Now we're dancin' in the kitchen
And he's whisperin'

"You could keep fightin' it off, but you'll keep on losin'
You can act tough, like you don't care much, but I see right through it
Through that heart you swear never breaks
And in between every word that you don't say
You could keep pushin' this love down, but it ain't movin'
Baby, it's useless"

Baby, it's useless
When I know the truth is

I could keep fightin' it off, but I'll keep on losin'
I can act tough, say I don't care much, but you see right through it
So take my heart, don't let it break
'Cause I'm running out of ways I could run away
I could keep pushin' this love down, but it ain't movin'
No, you're not movin'
Baby, it's useless
You win now, baby, it's useless
