always, i'll care

(album: love is not dying - 2020)

Driving down the interstate
I've never felt so far away
Leaving hardly hurts at all
I'm sorry that I never call

Often I get exhausted
Trying regardless to be enough
Is it selfish, not to be selfless
When all I can help is to open up

I'll be better than I was before
Despite every text of yours ignored
Will you call me still, just to hear my voice?
I swear, always, I'll care

(I'll care)

Flipping through our photographs
These moments never seem to last
Listening to self control
There's feelings that you'll never know

Leave me, it's never easy
I've had a lifetime to be alone
If you let me, when it gets heavy
No I'll never let you be all alone

I'll be better than I was before
Despite every text of yours ignored
Will you call me still, just to hear my voice?
I swear, always
Always
Always, I'll care
