[Intro]
Can't play house, when no one's home
Save the roots, that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you, but I—
[Verse 1]
Looking at you through the glass on the couch in the living room
Takes me back, you were all that I had broken down in baton rouge
Seems to me the memories are all that's left to keep the lights on
'Cause everyday you hate to talk, I hate to say
[Chorus]
I love you, but I—
Can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight thе truth when we both know
I love you, but I—
Feel likе strangers on the phone
Chew those three words 'til I choke
Say it back when we both know
I love you, but I don't, don't
I love you, but I don't, don't
(I love you, but I—)
[Verse 2]
Done wishin' that we were perfect
Done staring at the bottom of an hourglass
Saying sorry that I'll never be like him
Seven years worth of blood only seemed to leave the memories
Even Jesus couldn't save, 'cause
Either way, we know the plot, we'll never change
[Chorus]
I love you, but I—
Can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you, but I—
Feel like strangers on the phone
Chew those three words 'til I choke
Say it back, when we both know
I love you, but I don't, don't
I love you, but I don't, don't
I love you, but I—
[Bridge]
Can't keep holding onto ya
Killin' myself of things you do
I can't pretend that who you were is coming back
I love you, but I—
[Chorus]
Can't play house when no one's home
Save the roots that we've outgrown
Fight the truth when we both know
I love you, but I— (I)
Feel like strangers on the phone (Damn)
Chew those three words 'til I choke
Say it back, when we both know
I love you, but I don't, don't (Looking at you through the glass on the couch in the living room)
I love you, but I don't, don't (Takes me back, you were all that I had broken down in baton rouge)
I love you, but I don't
