Lyrics

Persistent

We both dreamed a white fence
Would wrap our front yard
How my arms have held you all these years
Now I wake in the morning
And roll to find you
Damn you, sunshine and the shadows you make

If you don't love me anymore
If you don't love, you don't love me anymore
I'm gonna go out knowing I tried. Persistent
If you don't want me anymore
If you don't want, you don't want me anymore
Persistent so I know I tried
I did my best now I must survive and keep
Pushing on

I had a daughter as tall as I am
In my sleep I see the craziest things
Over her shoulder I saw you smiling
Now I don't want to wake up and it fades

If you don't love me anymore
If you don't love, you don't love me anymore
I'm gonna go out knowing I tried. Persistent
If you don't want me anymore
If you don't want, you don't want me anymore
Persistent so I know I tried
I did my best now I must survive and keep
Pushing on

When I'd swim in the ocean
I'd miss your skin
So fair the summer would burn it
When I'd hike up a mountain
I'd miss your smile
You'd love the view from the top of it
I would be reminded every day
I would be reminded every day of my shame

If you don't love me anymore
If you don't love, you don't love me anymore
I'm gonna go out knowing I tried. Persistent
If you don't want me anymore
If you don't want, you don't want me anymore
Persistent so I know I tried
I did my best now I must survive and keep
Pushing on

If you don't love me anymore
If you don't love, you don't love me anymore
I'm gonna go out knowing I tried. Persistent
If you don't want me anymore
If you don't want, you don't want me anymore
Persistent so I know I tried
I did my best now I must survive and keep
Pushing on
