Track 10 of "Somewhere You'd Rather Be" by Cody J. Martin
lyrics
Well I feel so tired and oh so low down
Broken like a bone beneath your stare
But I still bend backwards on your barbed wire fence
To watch the sunset paint the night into the air
But there's somethin' in the silence of the darkened country kindness That makes me want to stay
For tonight I've failed to win your heart but tomorrow is a brand new day
And no, I've never called myself a lover
Maybe just a fighter of the same
But I couldn't risk to lose all that I had to offer
Just to live for that lonesome little fame
And there's somethin' in the violence of the city's killin' sidewalks that's too afraid to chase me away
For tonight I've failed to win your heart but tomorrow is a brand new day
And I said, babe
When that hurtin' gets too strong, will you take my pain
Will you take my pain away?
For the sweetest kind of loss
Is when it is your gain
When it is your gain
So when all else is lost darlin'
I will go back home to the that hole from which I've crawled
And I guess I oughta know that it takes the feelin' of a broken heart to heal the one you caused
But there's something in the wind telling me you'll come again
When the world has switched our plates
For tonight I've failed to win your heart but tomorrow is a brand new day
And I said, babe
When that hurtin' gets too strong, will you take my pain
Will you take my pain away?
For the sweetest kind of loss
Is when it is your gain
When it is your gain
