lyrics

You walked in and my heart stood still
The most beautiful I’d ever known
The whole place turned to gold
Eyes like diamonds and hair like fire
I hung on every word your lips spoke
You had me on the ropes

Don’t make me write a song about you
Something I just don’t wanna do
I’d rather stay lost for words
And lost in this moment with you
Up until now all I’ve ever known
Is singing about how I get it wrong
Trouble my heart keeps getting into
I wanna see this one through
Don’t make me write a song about you

Maybe I’m crazy, maybe I’m afraid
Maybe I’m not done making mistakes
I might have found the truth
If all we’ve got is this lifetime
(Think) I could spend mine watching you
Across a crowded room

Don’t make me write a song about you
Something I just don’t wanna do
I’d rather stay lost for words
And lost in this moment with you
Up until now all I’ve ever known
Is singing about how I get it wrong
Trouble my heart keeps getting into
I wanna see this one through
Don’t make me write a song about you

It would only mean I haven’t held you tight,
haven’t loved you right,
But I swear I’m going to

Don’t make me write a song about you
Something I just don’t wanna do
I’d rather stay lost for words
And lost in this moment with you
Up until now all I’ve ever known
Is singing about how I get it wrong
Trouble my heart keeps getting into
I wanna see this one through
Don’t make me write a song about you
Don’t make me write a song about you
