I  couldn't walk five thousand miles in your four hundred dollar shoes
I could go any distance but you, baby, you baby, would never know
Took me and put me in a trash can
Said I wasn't enough to ever be yours
Love, tough love, never ever enough
Love, tough love, life is so rough

Never big enough to pay your bills, wasn't worth it
Could stand in your shoes and climb these hills
I had everything and everyone to lose

I try to stay away from all the triggers
But it pulls me back and bites likes slivers
Sharp and sweet, like a bite
Never enough, in your darkest night
Wanted to show, show the world
So heavy hearted, but a heart you still hurled
Show me your lights. in your eyes
So pick me and bring me right upside

I drown alone and die together
Baby, love me now, tame this weather
So beautiful to look at your face
All the bottles though take your place
One drink, every minute
Raise the bar, no limits
Whatchyou want, whatchyou got
Everything you want, everthing I'm not

Whats that, whats that over there
I cant even reach it
Every lesson learned, boy you never teach it
If you write a book with lots of pages
I just need keys for all of my cages
You come to my house and pull a gun on me
You home in my heart and say you want me
Lies that arent enough, life is just to rough
Lies that arent enough, life is just to rough

Save me

Ooooh save me

It's an empire you build with my broken bones
You stack them up like they are just stones
That monster in you did it.
Helped you build, helped your grow
An empire I will never know

I  couldn't walk five thousand miles in your four hundred dollar shoes
I could go any distance but you, baby, you baby, would never know
Took me and put me in a trash can
Said I wasn't enough to ever be yours
Love, tough love, never ever enough
Love, tough love, life is so rough
Love, tough love, never ever enough
Love, tough love, life is so rough

But nothing, not life or love, will make you immortal
