I spent hours on the back porch
Burning fire in my hands
Try my best to learn to read you
But I still can't understand
And when you ask me how I'm doing
I say that I can't complain
After all, it's unattractive
For me to burden you with shame
How can I still feel this way?
If I, I can't change your mind
Or be the one in time
At least I know I've tried
It hurt, but I'm alive
And I'd do it all again
My pride is paper thin
I'm not looking for a win
I got a lawless love for you
And nothin' better to do
♪
I'm not asking for a favor
I just want to be let in
All I wanted was to feel wanted
I don't need another friend
And you might love me at my best but
At my worst, you're walking out
And I don't know what I could say that
Won't set fire to this drought
If I, I can't change your mind
Or be the one in time
At least, I know I've tried
It hurt, but I'm alive
And I'd do it all again
My pride is paper thin
I'm not looking for a win
I got a lawless love for you
And I got nothin' better to do
