lyrics

She felt like a pillow in the morning
Her kisses soft and tender, passionate
Ever heard of many gods or saints or angels?
But how I know my heaven’s where you are

A hundred miles I'd ride and a hundred more
Realize the pain wasn't in my bones
And here I am, it feels like pain I guess
And then I see your smile, your glow again
It was once for me, but now for someone else
But to see you glow it hurts a little less

When it came to being me I was never brave
When it came to loving you, girl I was never afraid
Watched you leave, wanting you to stay
Prayed to your God to let me burn instead
You weren't beautiful for the shade that you left
No, you were beautiful for the way you felt

So here I am, this feels a little less
You've been gone a while and the road's been quite a mess
A part of me is gone there's not much else
All the love that's in your letters is all I've left

To see you glow it hurts a little less
You said you're happy now, you've found someone else
But to see you glow it hurts a little less
Baby I swear that it all hurts a little less

I once felt that heart beat soft upon my chest
But now that heart is beating
For someone else
