Before the Streetlights - How Can I Say I Love You When I Hate You Lyrics

This is when our fights turn into common conversation
You know my heart and all of its scars
The party starts when you arrive but I
Don't consider myself the strong type
You're shattering my confidence with the words you choose to use
This can't be done by sticks and stones alone
They were the words you used at the same time that you said
I can't be myself when all I can see is you

I need to be there with you
And I need to be there with you

And our minds work like two separate souls alone
And I can't be there every time you call
My pen is like a magnet being attached to these words
And spilling out the thoughts that I couldn't stand to say
I brought my self back and I made it to you
To try and say something that could get us through
But every time I end up being the one in the way
So take these words and read them carefully

I wrote this song to remind me of you
Cause I'm alone in this dark room
And all these signs and memories of mine
Keep bringing me back to you
I wrote this song to remind me of you
Cause I'm alone in this dark room
And all the signs and memories of mine
Keep bringing me back to you

Stay now
The suns just coming up and we can
Drive out
It might just change our luck to say that
This night will always last forever
But you still choose to say
Not now
Our timings a bit off and
Your songs still don't mean enough
A lost kiss still means nothing more than
The paper this song was written on

I need to be there with you
I need to be there with you
And I need to be there with you

Don't say this night will end like this
I grabbed your hand and kissed those lips and
It stayed just the same
Make me feel that
My own way won't be with you

You never really knew me
My dreams were a bit too far fetched
Continue to keep me waiting
It's not you on your breath
You never really knew me
My dreams were a bit too far fetched
Continue to keep me waiting
It's not you on your breath
