"Loving & Losing" lyrics

I'll keep it light
Like half and half
Tell you the sad part
Then make you laugh
'Cause if it's funny
It can't be bad
Yeah, it's genetic
So thanks for that

You're gone all of a sudden
And I try to pretend
That it's just for a moment
And I'll see you again

'Cause I owed you a song
And I'm sorry it's a bummer
And it took me so long
'Cause I'll be honest, it's been a doozy
I've been tired of loving and losing
Can't have one have without the other

I don't wanna hear
It'll hurt less later
You're less like a void
And more like a crater
You're not like a scratch
You're more like a scar
I don't know where you went
But I know you're not far

You're gone all of a sudden
And I try to pretend
That it's just for a moment
And I'll see you again

'Cause I owed you a song
And I'm sorry it's a bummer
And it took me so long
'Cause I'll be honest, it's been a doozy
I've been tired of loving and losing
Can't have one have without the other

I don't believe
But I've been praying
That ghosts are real
And you're presence
Is something I'll feel
Something I'll feel again

'Cause I owed you a song
And I'm sorry it's a bummer
And it took me so long
'Cause I'll be honest, it's been a doozy
I've been tired of loving and losing
Can't have one have without the other

Hey gorgeous, this is your father
Um, I want you to know first and foremost your mother and I, hell the entire family
We're so proud of what you're doing with your life and the chances you're taking
I cannot tell you that you know what you're doing but you continue going there
There's going to be hurtles, there's going to be victories, but both you guys make us very very proud
We love you so-oh much, and uh–keep on writing, my love
Bu-bye
