  • We pass in the hall on our way to separate rooms
    The only time we ever talk is when the monthly bills are due
    We go to work, we go to church
    We fake the perfect life
    I'm passed the point of giving a damn
    And all my tears are cried

    We can just go on like this
    Say the word, we'll call it quits
    Baby, you can go or you can stay
    But I won't love you either way

    It's been so long since I've felt
    Anything inside these walls
    You can't hate and you can't hurt
    When you don't feel at all
    I used to cry and stay up nights
    And wonder what went wrong
    And it's been hard
    But hearts can only do that for so long

    We can just go on like this
    Say the word, we'll call it quits
    Baby, you can go or you can stay
    But I won't love you either way

    We can just go on like this
    Say the word, we'll call it quits
    Baby, you can go or you can stay
    But I won't love you either way Writer/s: Christopher Alvin Stapleton, Kendell Wayne Marvel, Timothy A. James

  • Just MeWhen I first heard this song,I was blown away that Country music and Chrs in particular could be so real,so raw. Then to learn that it was about nothing in his life, but rather believable bs or a " good idea" that someone actually living those lyric was disappointing to say the least. I hope any song writer would be more authentic than just penning tragic lines that someone else is living. But maybe that's just me,Words do Matter,and especially when borne out in their originators life
