She looks to the bedside for some piece of mind tonight
‘Cause the other side is freezing cold
Yet another sign
I’ve fallen short of what you had in mind

She cries,
I know that you love me enough to stay
But do you love me, could you love me, enough to stay away

And these street signs, they are all screaming out your name
As I drive faster to outrun the trail of guilt and shame
And I
I cross the city skyline off this rearview
Just to place the blame on anyone else’s name

She still cries,
I know that you love me enough to stay
But do you love me, could you love me, enough to stay away

And I’ve been searching for a genie at the bottom of every bottle

Silence screams as I push down on the throttle,

I swear he owes me one last wish
And this bottle, it has run dry
I’m cussing out constellations in the midnight sky
I hate to have to wonder why

I lie
I know that I love you

But could I love you, do I love you
Enough to stay away
