Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chasing a heart is like chasing a ghost
You can't make somebody you love feel the same if they don't
It doesn't matter the words that you say
'Cause just like the seasons, you can't stop the way people change
[PreChorus]
I'd drive through the night, walk a thousand miles
To feel your head on my chest
I'd give anything, that's what's killing me
'Cause you won't even reach across the bed
[Chorus]
The silence is getting too cold
We stopped fighting
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
Just for once, what do you want? Baby, tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
[Verse 2]
All of your friends now were all of mine first
Your mom and your dad, they were both there for me when mine weren't
I can't see tomorrow without you today
But I'd rather let you go than make you feel like you've gotta stay
[PreChorus]
I'd drive through the night, walk a thousand miles
To feel your head on my chest
I'd give anything, that's what's killing me
'Cause you won't even reach across the bed
[Chorus]
The silence is getting too cold
We stopped fighting
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
Just for once, what do you want? Baby, tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
So come on, don't be afraid to break my heart
It only gets worse if you wait
So just for once, what do you want? Baby, tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
[Bridge]
I'm so sorry, I wish I could be
The one to love you more
I hope you find somebody
Who's got everything you're searching for
[Chorus]
The silence is getting too cold
We stopped fighting
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
Just for once, what do you want? Baby, tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
