The Love That We Need - Hayes Carll

You say 'I love you'

I say 'me too'

We don’t think much about it

It’s just a thing that we do

We go out walking

We don’t talk much

We lie down together

But our hearts never touch

Oh baby it’s a hard way

It’s an eternity

Got the life that we wanted

Not the love that we need

We never go to bed angry

Cause we never fight

Yeah we never go crazy

In the middle of the night

We could stay here forever

Just holding on

We both had our reasons

But our reasons are gone

Oh baby it’s a hard way

It’s an eternity

Got the life that we wanted

Not the love that we need

In our hearts we knew better

But we couldn’t let go

Now it’s time to quit our hiding

What we’ve always known

If something was missing

We were too scared to look

Too busy telling our stories

Instead of writing the book

Oh baby it’s a hard way

It’s an eternity

Got the life that we wanted

Not the love that we need

Oh baby it’s a hard way

It’s an eternity

Got the life that we wanted

Not the love that we need
