"Love Me Too Well, I'll Retire Early" lyrics

I don't want to say it till it's all I can
I don't want to cry unless it's by your hand
Thought that getting deep was in keeping score
Thought that I'd been loved by a man before

Want to live up to your fantasies
Want to be all that you see in me
Tricky to fill are the shoes I wore
Kicking them off at your bedroom door

I don't have much to say now
I'm not sad enough
I play shows, I go home
I think I'll call it love

Changing what my mouth and my hands are good for
Holding up your head is their only task
See it in the crowd and I play the wrong chords
Stumble over words, shooting blanks

Wouldn't put money on me staying soft
Don't want to be around when the penny drops
The more you give the less I'm worthy
Love me too well, I'll retire early

I don't have much to say now
I'm not sad enough
I play shows, I go home
I think I'll call it love
