Ruth ft. Purser Lyrics

I've trained myself to hold my breath

When your mother's on the phone

The tension that you carry

Carries over when we are alone

I think she's afraid to ask

Who's been taking up your time

Or if her worst nightmare's waiting for you

When you're off the line

But you feel like a dream of mine

When it's only you and I

Cast her words aside

Be with me tonight

She can't see that it's so right

But I will go where you go

For the rest of my life

My God, you look beautiful tonight

As I bite my tongue I capture

All the words you cannot say

Like "Mother, she's my rapture"

"Mom, she made me lunch for work today"

I wish it wasn't so hard

My love for you is clear to see

Will I always look like a demon

When she lays her eyes on me?

Will no amount of sleepless nights

Staying up right by your side

Ever make a dent?

Darlin, they're hellbent

They'll never be satisfied

But I will live where you live

For the rest of my life

My God, you look beautiful tonight

The way you love me is so pure

Like no one ever has before

And I have never been so sure

Of something to be fighting for

So I will play their devil

Just to hold you through the hell they made

And I'll be right there when you realize

You've got your own soul to save

Cuz I will live where you live

And I will go where you go

And your God will be my God

We'll make a path to follow

It'll all be alright

My God, you look beautiful tonight

Well I've heard from the holy order

Others who love just like me

They've been through it too

& they say time & love heal everything
