"I Love You, But..." lyrics
Can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you but I
Looking at you through the glass on the couch in the living room
Takes me back, you were all that I had broken down in Baton Rouge
Seems to me
The memories
Are all that's left to keep the lights on
'Cause every day
You hate to talk
I hate to say
I love you but I can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you but I feel like strangers on the phone
Chew those 3 words 'til I choke
Say it back but we both know
I love you but I don't, don't
I love you but I don't, don't
I love you but I'm
Done wishing that we were perfect
Done staring at the bottom of an hourglass
Saying, "Sorry that I'll never be like him."
Seven years worth of blood only
Seemed to leave
The memories
Even Jesus couldn't save
'Cause either way we know the plot
We'll never change
I love you but I can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you but I feel like strangers on the phone
Chew those 3 words 'til I choke
Say it back but we both know
I love you but I don't, don't
I love you but I don't, don't
I love you but I
Can't keep holding onto you
Killing myself for things you do
I can't pretend that who you were is coming back
I love you but I
Can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you but I feel like strangers on the phone
Chew those 3 words 'til I choke
Say it back but we both know
I love you but I don't, don't
(Looking at you through the glass on the couch in the living room)
I love you but I don't, don't
(Takes me back, you were all that I had broken down in Baton Rouge)
I love you but I don't
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you but I
Looking at you through the glass on the couch in the living room
Takes me back, you were all that I had broken down in Baton Rouge
Seems to me
The memories
Are all that's left to keep the lights on
'Cause every day
You hate to talk
I hate to say
I love you but I can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you but I feel like strangers on the phone
Chew those 3 words 'til I choke
Say it back but we both know
I love you but I don't, don't
I love you but I don't, don't
I love you but I'm
Done wishing that we were perfect
Done staring at the bottom of an hourglass
Saying, "Sorry that I'll never be like him."
Seven years worth of blood only
Seemed to leave
The memories
Even Jesus couldn't save
'Cause either way we know the plot
We'll never change
I love you but I can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you but I feel like strangers on the phone
Chew those 3 words 'til I choke
Say it back but we both know
I love you but I don't, don't
I love you but I don't, don't
I love you but I
Can't keep holding onto you
Killing myself for things you do
I can't pretend that who you were is coming back
I love you but I
Can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you but I feel like strangers on the phone
Chew those 3 words 'til I choke
Say it back but we both know
I love you but I don't, don't
(Looking at you through the glass on the couch in the living room)
I love you but I don't, don't
(Takes me back, you were all that I had broken down in Baton Rouge)
I love you but I don't
