Like I Did

(album: Constellation - 2017)

It's 3 am these thoughts don't quit
Little talks up to the ceiling fan
And the feelings dance round with the shadows spin
Till I'm calling back the morning light again

Well this can't be drunk but it sure ain't straight
This ain't no thing I've known
The way it cuts as you take my pain
Or the way that you stay near me as you go

I don't love you like I did the way
My heart exploded when we met that day
Oh the fate of all the winding roads
The face that felt like coming home
Darling I don't love you like I did

Well I faded some days and you waited sometimes till your patience was tried and broke
But I hope you lay awake too
As you rest your head tonight
Cuz I'm climbing through that window when I'm home

Cuz you need to know

I won't love you like I did
The way my heart imploded when you left that day
Oh the grace it takes to see the dawn
You made me chase you all night long
Darling I won't love you like I did

All the years gone by, you changing at my side
All the ways we learned to stay & fight

I don't love you like I did some days
My heart beats older as we sit in the shade
Of this place we build so tirelessly
The way we laugh in silence see
My darling I don't love you like I did
Down the hall I catch a glimpse or two
And fall for all the old & new
Darling it's still startling, I admit
But darling I still love you like I did
