[Verse 1: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
I know there is a place
A place where I belong
Not mistreated or undone
And if I find that place
I'll keep my mouth shut
'Cause I won't be there alone, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Miller]
And if you're standing there with me
I'll swear it's a lie and I'll still believe it
[Chorus: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
'Cause I came
And I spoke
And you ran
And didn't even wait to hear the words
Or see the look in my eyes
'Cause I bled
And you watched
And I cried myself to sleep
Came to wipe my tears away but you
Couldn't look in my eyes again
Because of the love for me
[Verse 2: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
I understand the time
It passes so slowly
And I can hear its laughter
But there will come a time
When you will ask me
And I will join you then, then
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Miller]
And if you're standing there with me
I'll swear it's a lie and I'll still believe it
[Chorus: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
'Cause I came
And I spoke
And you ran
And didn't even wait to hear the words
Or see the look in my eyes
'Cause I bled
And you watched
And I cried myself to sleep
Came to wipe my tears away but you
Couldn't look in my eyes again
Because of the love for me
[Outro: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
Because of the love for me
Because of the love for me
Because of the love for me
Because of the love for me
Because of the love for me
