A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE
[Verse 1]
I was born to a family of jokers
Gamblers and smokers living on the line
I was raised by strong-headed women
Men who tested limits and did a little time

[Pre-Chorus]
And it ain't a mystery you fell for me
We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace
Love like ours ain't a masterpiece
It's a good day in the sun

[Chorus]
I was born to love you
Out where the water is wide
Make me your country bride
You'll be my prince of tides
You were born to heal me
Under a velvet sky
Cattails dancing in the light
We were born to live a long and happy life
A happy life

Verse 2]
Yeah, folks like us
We may lie down in darkness
But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell
Cause we grew up around beauty
Sunsets better than a movie
We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end
And to toast to good nights with friends

[Chorus]
I was born to love you
Out where the water is wide
Make me your country bride
You'll be my prince of tides
You were born to heal me
Under a velvet sky
Cattails dancing in the light
We were born to live a long and happy life
A happy life
Hey, a happy life

[Bridge]
And it comes to me in waves
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
Knowing I'm so lucky
Your broken heart could love me

[Chorus]
I was born to love you
Out where the water is wide
Make me your country bride
You'll be my prince of tides
You were born to heal me
Under a velvet sky
Cattails dancing in the light
We were born to live a long and happy life
A happy life
Hey, a happy life
Happy life

I WILL NEVER DIE

[Verse 1]
Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul
Spread my spirit like a flock of crows

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long

[Chorus]
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss to electric wire
But I'll never die

[Verse 2]
Sycamore, ash, moss, and loam
Wrap your roots all around my bones
And when they come for me, when they call my name
Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame

[Pre-Chorus]
(So let the storm come)

[Chorus]
I will never die
You can bury my body, but I'll never die

[Middle Eight]
In the dead of night
(In the dead of night)
I'm gonna loose these chains
(I'm gonna loose these chains)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run
(Sing on, sister)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run
I'm coming for you again
(Oh, I'm coming for you again)

So let the storm come

[Chorus]
I will never die
You can bury my body, but I'll never die

[Outro]
Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees

COLD DAY IN HEAVEN
[Intro]
It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven
We watched, the stars fell, and oh you know we let them
We said it’ll never happen, we said it’ll never happen to us

[Verse 1]
Keep thinking bout when we started, so innocent
Your heart was a mess and I was lost in it
Keep thinking bout the day that we met, and how you’ve changed
You loved me once, and now you bring me pain
Keep thinking that I will say goodbye
Made a promise that you won’t see me cry again

[Hook]
It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven
We watched, the stars fell, and oh you know we let them
We said it’ll never happen, we said it’ll never happen to us
But it’s a cold day in heaven my love

[Verse 2]
The sky’s dark and the flowers are frozen, the world is hushed
Our guardian angels have turned their backs on us
Something broken, I thought I could fix it, but it’s broken me
Your kisses are poison, all your words are treason
I’m walking away, you won’t hear me say
I love you

[Bridge]
Look at all the stars that have fallen
There’s nothing left for us to wish on
The sun it doesn’t rise in the morning
It’s frozen

[Bridge]
Look at all the stars that have fallen
There’s nothing left for us to wish on
The sun it doesn’t rise in the morning
It’s frozen

[Hook]
It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven
We watched, the stars fell, and oh you know we let them
We said it’ll never happen, you said it’ll never happen to us
But it’s a cold day in heaven my love

No Peace In Quiet

 [Verse 1]
My friends are always over so I'm not alone
And the TV's on the second that they leave
Ghosts don't stand a chance against the radio
That's why I turn the music up to sleep

[Chorus]
Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet

[Verse 2]
Tonight, I'll lie down knowing you're not coming home
Then I'll swear I hear your keys outside my door
And I'll hate myself for checking as if I don't know
That it's just the wind chimes on the neighbor's porch

[Chorus]
Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet

[Bridge]
I hear you singing in the shower
I hear you breathing in my bed
But there's nothing I hear louder
Than the words I never said

[Chorus]
Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet
There's no peace

SCARED
Verse 1]
Remember when you said you loved me?
Remember when you said that it would all work out
We packed up and we left by morning
And everything you promised, it ain't happening now

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I'm swirling, softly
Drifting like the cream in your coffee
And you're talking, calmly when...

[Chorus]
I'm scared to be on our own
When the thrill is gone
And I'm scared, thinking what we've done
To try to love someone
Baby, can you keep your promise?
Baby, can I keep you honest?
Cause I'm scared

[Verse 2]
There's nothing in the sky above me
There's nothing strung below us, baby, if we fall
We're caught between a spark and lightning
We're caught between forever and nothing at all

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I'm sorry, I love you
But even those words are getting see-through
And I'm losing it all to this feeling, baby

[Chorus]
I'm scared to be on our own
When the thrill is gone
And I'm scared, thinking what we've done
To try to love someone
Baby, can you keep your promise?
Baby, can I keep you honest?
Cause I'm scared

[Bridge]
When you say you love me
When you say you love me (I'm scared)
Are we ever gonna be OK?
When you say you love me (I'm scared)
Are we ever really gonna feel safe?
When you say you love me (I'm scared)
Is there something I can say?
When you say you love me (I'm scared)
Is it better if I walk away?
When you say you love me

Outro]
Cause I'm scared to be on our own
And I'm scared, thinking what we've done
Baby, can you keep your promise?
Baby, can I keep you honest?
Cause I'm scared

AIN’T LOVE

[Verse 1]
Clock buzzes, it's 6:00 AM
I know this morning is not my friend
You came home in a fix last night
I told you "baby, I don't wanna fight"

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's easy
A broken heart looks good on me
And I know you mean it
But I won't believe you til you're almost screaming

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Cause it ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
It ain't love til it hurts like this

[Verse 2]
We only share the happy pictures we take
We put a filter on our own heartache
The evening comes like an unpaid bill
Just say the words, darling, break this spell

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's true
Ooh, a broken heart looks good on you
Yeah, I know that's enough
Hey, let's make it worth it, spend the whole night making love

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Cause it ain't love til it hurts like this, no
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Ain't love til it hurts like this

[Bridge]
You, you make me feel
Like gold, white heat, black velvet
And you, you got the touch to heal me
But it ain't enough

[Outro]
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this

If I Loved You

[Verse 1]
If I loved you, life would be easy
There'd be no truth that I'd be scared of
I could walk through every valley
And you'd light me with all of your love

[Chorus]
But I don't love you, not like I want to
I don't love you and that makes it hard
And every morning, I see how you watch me
And each night I know you feel it and it just breaks your heart

[Verse 2]
You'd make good money and come home early
And you'd kiss me and hold me each night
We would have children and they would be so beautiful
And we'd raise them and all would be right

[Chorus]
But I don't love you, not like you need it
I don't love you, good as you are
And when I kiss you, I know that you can feel it
And I see it in your eyes, and it just breaks my heart

[Bridge]
I wish to God I could change it, darling
Could make you the one
I will always have these regrets and wonder
What else I could have done
I will

[Chorus]
Cause if I loved you, I could be happy
I would make you the light of my world
I wouldn't wait, love, I'd marry you tomorrow
And we'd make love and I'd be your girl

[Chorus]
But I don't love you, much as I want to
I don't love you, no, it would be a lie
And you deserve love, you're better than a good day
And you'll find it, but just not in my eyes
Cause it ain't here love, no,no
It ain't here love, no no no
It ain't here love, no no no
It ain't here love
And it just breaks my heart
