The Way I Tend To Be

Some mornings I pray for evening For the day to be done And some summer days I hide away And wait for rain to come 'Cause it turns out hell will not be found Within the fires below But in making do and muddling through When you've nowhere else to go But then I remember you And the way you shine like truth in all you do And if you remembered me You could save me from the way I tend to be Some days I wake up dazed my dear And don't know where I am I've been running now so long I'm scared I've forgotten how to stand And I stand alone in airport bars And gather thoughts to think That if all I had was one long road It could drive a man to drink But then I remember you And the way you shine like truth in all you do And if you remembered me You could save me from the way I tend to be Because I've said I love you so many times That the words kinda die in my mouth And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman But somehow it never works out But you stood apart in my calloused heart And you taught me and here's what I learned That love is about all the changes you make And not just three small words And then I catch myself Catching your scent on someone else In a crowded space And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place And then I remember you And the way you shine like truth in all you do And if you remembered me You could save me from the way I tend to be The way I tend to be The way I tend to be The way I tend to be
