i heard her cries from the kitchen
like someone had died
she's screaming just to scream
my bones begin to shake

this is what love does to you
You saw me then
You loved me too

during fights she'd kick him out
i begged him not to go
"she scares me when she's drunk"
i whisper so she doesn't scream
he leaves

this is what love does to you
You saw me then
You loved me too

she's day drinking
passed out when i'd get home
800 miles away
i'd call him
asking for his help, when i knew he couldn't

my sophomore year
shot after shot
i can hold my liquor well
i don't care what it takes to be numb, i think he can tell

now i'm high every night
giggling in the back of jake's jeep
i never go home anymore
she calls me again & again

i begin to lie well
i steal her money, clothes, and change my grades
i'm desperate to escape
this place they all call home

this is what love does to you
You saw me then
You loved me too

stayed the night with jake
she's not calling me anymore
oh i think she's given up
i can feel him doing the same

This is what love does to you
You saw me then
You loved me too

my roommate's a christian
**** i can't cuss
slept in patrick's room
she’s asking where I was

i went to church that sunday
i watched them raise their hands
they're so in love with You
what do i have to do?

all my friends are christians
they’re calling You their friend
they're saying i can know you
i’m scared to love again

this is what love does to you
You saw me then
You loved me too

but now she calls you Father
and my heart's completely dropped
chills running down my spine
I hear you yell “you’re Mine”

this is what love does to you

You’ve chosen me as i am
consistent in Your pursuit
i’ve fallen madly in love

they think i’m crazy

this is what love does to you
