I never asked you to try.
the open road is calling me
and I’m trying to be strong
but as much as I want to stay here tonight,
this isn’t where I belong
it’s hard to look in your eyes tonight
there’s so much I want to confess
like the way I’ll miss the curl of your lip
and waking to watch you dress
it’s hard to love me, I know
but it’s harder to tell you goodbye
and you never asked to watch me go
but I never asked you to try
as days grew shorter and time slipped past
leaving me lost in its wake
I tried to warn you that I never last
while you tried to not let me break
but I drift with the southern wind
and my heart follows the sun
and everything’s beautiful when it begins
and every time, I still run
it’s hard to love me, I know
but it’s harder to tell you goodbye
and you never asked to watch me go
but I never asked you to try
and I’ll be the one to confess
that I can’t go on like this
‘cause it’s hard to love me, I know
but it’s harder to tell you goodbye
and you never asked to watch me go
but I never asked you to try
it’s hard to love me, I know
but it’s harder to tell you goodbye
and you never planned to let me go
but I have to ask you to try
