lose Enough to Hurt
Written by Shan Gilbreath

Verse 1
You walked in dressed like fortune
With a voice that cracked the sky
You dangled all the carrots
While you fed me every lie
You danced just out of reach
In every song I tried
You pulled me close for comfort
Then left me in the night

Chorus
I gave you all my fire
I gave you all my gold
Your whispers like a promise
Comin’ in from the cold
I’ve been chasing those dreams
Like chasin’ a skirt
I’ve always loved you
Close enough to hurt

Verse 2
You kissed me in the spotlight
Then left me in the dark
Every song I wrote for you
Became another scar
I caught a glimpse of heaven
But you pulled me down to earth
You showed me all the riches
Then left me in the dirt

Chorus
I gave you all my fire
I gave you all my gold
Your whispers like a promise
Comin’ in from the cold
I’ve been chasing those dreams
Like chasin’ a skirt
I’ve always loved you
Close enough to hurt

Verse 3
I thought I’d found a way
But you always pull me back
You played me like a fool
Your deck is fully stacked
I almost touched the dream
But you never let me through
Now I’m stuck here in your shadow
Just a fool for beggin’ you

Final Chorus
I gave you all my fire
I gave you all my gold
Your whispers like a promise
Comin’ in from the cold
I’ve been chasing those dreams
Like chasin’ a skirt
I’ve always loved you
Close enough to hurt
