Love to Defend Lyrics

Why oh why this ache in my chest

Feels like a stranger's lying in your place no less

Used to hold me close couldn't catch my breath

Now I'm drowning in sheets a loveless death

No sweet nothings whispered no butterflies

Do you even see me with those tired eyes

Lost in this maze I stumble and fall

Look at you but there's nothing there at all

Used to be fire now it's just smoke and ash

Love on the rocks a million tiny crashes

Whiskey whispers promises on the breeze

But the only truth is the emptiness that squeezes

The little things they all disappeared

Replaced by silence a love uncheered

Love overflows turning into tears

You say the words but where's the love for years

Maybe it's my fault a twisted mind's design

Am I destined to wander forever feeling behind

Used to be fire now it's just smoke and ash

Love on the rocks a million tiny crashes

Whiskey whispers promises on the breeze

But the only truth is the emptiness that squeezes

Promises on the breeze

But the only truth is the emptiness that squeezes

Cruise control fantasy a future dream

Just you and me so it would seem

But the truth unfolds a crowded scene

Love's a shipwreck where have you been

They say I'm crazy a liar a cheat

But baby this heart only beats for you it can't be beat

Birthday magic then pushed away

This love rollercoaster I can't seem to stay

Used to be fire now it's just smoke and ash

Love on the rocks a million tiny crashes

Whiskey whispers promises on the breeze

But the only truth is the emptiness that squeezes

Used to be fire now it's just smoke and ash

Love on the rocks a million tiny crashes

Whiskey whispers promises on the breeze

But the only truth is the emptiness that squeezes

Exes and friends a double standard's sting

But all I need is your love the one true thing

Maybe someday this crazy heart will mend

But for now I'm lost with no love to defend
