lyrics

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
But I’m not sure you even care about me
And if you’ve got another place to be
I’ll go my own way and you’ll go yours

Cause I don’t wanna waste my precious time
If you’re already at the finish line
And if regrets are littered on this highway
I’ll just take a separate course

I can’t make you feel what you don’t wanna feel
And I can’t put you someplace you don’t wanna be
Namely, close to me
And frankly, I don’t have the energy
To go black and blue and crazy over you

I used to hope that you’d turn on your light
Come in and save me from this long dark night
Well you didn’t think to think twice but it’s alright
I’ve got the strength to make it through

Cause there’s a road I gotta travel down
It might be lonesome but it sure don’t spin me round
At first was sinking now I ain’t gon’ drown
Oh no at least not over you

I won’t reach out for you if you won’t be there
And I won’t sit here wonderin’ calling out your name
If it’s all the same
Well honey, once I played that game
But all I gotta say’s the times they have a-changed

I admit that I was wrong
A million years is just too long
You’re running blind I’m letting go
Ends of the earth are just too far
And I won’t offer up my heart
If it ain’t you I’m looking for

It ain’t you, babe
It ain’t you, no
It ain’t you I’m looking for
It ain’t you, babe
It ain’t you, no, no
It ain’t you I’m looking for
