[Verse 1]

             
When i was you

              
nger i saw my 

            
daddy cry and 

             
curse at the w

  
ind.
             
He broke his o

              
wn heart and I

              
 watched as he

            
 tried to re-a

        
ssemble it.
             
And my mamma s

              
wore she would

            
 never let her

         
self forget.
             
And that was t

              
he day that i 

              
promised I'd n

            
ever sing of l

ove if it does

 not
  
exist. But dar

ling..

in my soul tha

            
t love never l

  
asts.
             
And we've got 

              
to find other 

              
ways to make i

            
t alone or kee

            
p a straight f

  
ace.
             
And i've alway

his keeping a 

         
comfortable, d

  
istance.
             
And up until n
