Lyrics

You’re right across the table
Still I’m staring at my hands
Cokee’s getting colder
And I swear I’m doing all that I can
Now we’re counting down the hours
Til the next big fight
Ten years of trying harder
Never got me close to getting things right

But I do and I will
And I promise, until
And I push, but you hold steady, still

The slammed doors when I get tired
And the tears you can’t explain
Can make it hard to remember
Anything but shame
Sometimes I think I’ll never
Be a good man in your eyes
And some days, I admit
I hardly even try

I can’t forget the morning
I woke with you at first light
I read forever in your touch
And I swore to stay by your side
