Lyrics

I know sometimes I push you
Say all that I do
See if you'll still stay
I like to have my way
If I took you for granted
Just know, I never meant it
I try to be thoughtful
And make sure my heart's pure
Good love is hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight
Sometimes I don't feel you
You don't feel me
We're distant, we need space
But I'm coming back for you
'Cause you're my true blue
You're a Capricorn, I'm Cancer
And sometimes we can't relate
But we meet at the center
That's where love is tender
You're my first phone call
My best friend
You could never be replaced
If I'm not there beside you
I'm just a hop, skip, a jump away
I question everything
It's ten years and I still can't get it straight
Just know that I love you
Always thinking of you
Good love is hard to hold
(Good love is hard to hold)
That's why I'm squeezing tight
Good love is hard to hold
(Good love is hard to hold)
That's why I'm squeezing tight
I love that you're so truthful
So willing to work it through
You love so brave
My passion is your flame
I don't want you to change
You kiss me softly under covers
And you never make me beg
You even say 'Thank you'
And 'sorry' when you're rude
I love you today
(You know I love you)
In the purest way
(In the purest way)
I love you today
(You know I love you today)
In the purest way
(In the purest way)
Never, never
Never, never
Never been so sure before now
Never been so sure before
Don't think I could ask for more
Never been so pure
I love you today
(I love you today)
In the purest way
(In the purest way)
I love you today
(You know I love you)
In the purest way
(In the purest way)
I love you today
(You know I love you today)
In the purest way
(In the purest way)
