lyrics

I come to your town
so anxious that I can’t sit down
so frightened, I can hardly breathe
You get the water

You say
“Love of mine, where’ve you been
what is wrong this time?
Is there anything I can do, for to ease the pain?”
And I say

How can you love me?
How can you love me
if I can’t love myself?
How can you love me?
How can you love me?
How can you love me now?

So I settle down
I swear I like having you around
You shine like a polished dime
the last one in my pocket

So put the coffee on
or maybe whiskey, we’ll be gone
‘til the morning comes, with bloodshot eyes
and a ringing in my ears
Singing

How can you love me?
How can you love me
if I can’t love myself?
How can you love me?
How can you love me?
How can you love me now?

I can’t decide why I don’t know which is worse:
To give it up or love when you know that love is cursed?
But who cares tonight
All the reasons why it’s just not right
The lights are off, the record’s on
and I don’t want to be alone

How can you love me?
How can you love me
if I can’t love myself?
How can you love me?
How can you love me?
How can you love me now?
How can you love me now?
