Stop Before I Cry

(الألبوم: This Is A Photograph - 2022)

I know that I'm not perfect
Just like I know you are wild
I know that though we're both grown up
I still feel like a child inside
And I wanna go out dancing
Soon as the world returns
'Cause baby, when you're dressed up
Well, it's hard to find the words
And if you look into my soul
And you told me what you see
You'd say "I see the mirror
That you put in front of me"
Oh, don't take me to the start
No, I want to go forward
Baby, if we part
Katie, if I hide
Then I can live in your songs forever, and you can live in mine

'Cause Katie when you sing to me
It's like a melody
Coming off the mountain
Coming out the sea
Stopping at the plains
Up into a Memphis sky
Katie, stop the song now
Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry
Stop before I cry
Stop before I cry
Stop before I cry

And you know they'll feed us fruit
Right before they suck our blood
Yeah, they'll fill us up with sugar
While they drag us through the mud
And it's hard to find the freedom
That we feel when we're asleep
'Cause right now I am wide awake, always stuck inside a dream
And I know that you got secrets
And you know I got them too
'Cause you've seen me ride a nightmare, honey
And you taught me how to shoot
Oh, remember when we met
How we were so young
You were still sucking on a bottle
Like it was sucking on God's thumb
But from stage, you would take flight
And whistle like a songbird
While swaying in a blue dress
You'd turn the crowd into a big mess

'Cause Katie when you sing to me
It's like a melody
Coming off the mountain
Coming out the sea
Stopping at the plains
Up into a Memphis sky
Katie, stop the song now
Stop before I cry

Stop before I cry
Stop before I cry
Stop before I cry
Stop before I cry

You can get lost forever
When your heart is a desert
And you can lose your mind
When it's storming all the time
But I wanna go out dancing
Soon as the world returns
'Cause, Katie, when you're dressed up, honey
Oh, it's hard to find the words
