He Loved You So Much

(album: No Fairy Tale - 2013)

Cool,
Wearing corduroy
There's that horrible feeling
That nothing feeling

You had your moments, but seemed kind of standoffish
And kept stepping off the sidewalk on the way out of your office
You were always there, you were always there

He wanted to walk next to you
I'm not sure you ever wanted to meet him on time
But you did say you'd mind it, getting recognized

But he loved you so much
He stayed by your side
He loved you so much
He would never leave you
He loved you so much,
He was scared to tell you.

He was the one who'd really lived, honestly
And you were the one who drove dangerously at night
Not like cowboys and shootouts, but distracted by the cigarette light

It was you who wanted to leave his sweet, sweet eyes
You tried, seemed like you tried
But not hard enough
No, not hard enough

But he loved you so much
He stayed by your side
He loved you so much
He would never leave you
He loved you so much,
He was scared to tell you.

Together, here on Earth
"It's nothing special," you said
But why on Earth
Would he look interested
But try to get it over with?

But he loved you so much
He stayed by your side
He loved you so much
He would never leave you
He would never leave you
He was scared to tell you.

But he loved you so much
He stayed by your side
He loved you so much
He would never leave you
He loved you so much,
He was scared to tell you.

Cool
I had a feeling
A bad, bad feeling

It was never as cold
As it is now, you said
He used to offer you his jacket
But you can't take it anymore
