[Verse 1]

Four walls, a roof, and plenty of

Attention and food to fill me up

All my life should have been enough

To show me how to love you

I'm sorry I don't always know

Just how to let the small things go

Or what to say when it matters most

You make it look so easy


[Chorus]

If you're a river than I must be a spout

Where you deliver, I barely spit it out you know that

No one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean

You're what love is made of

My imitation's cheap


[Verse 2]

Honest I don't remember when

I had a thought pass through my head

Not about me in the end

And I don't know how to curb it

Can't help but wonder why I don't

Ever feel ice in your tone

Or have to hear I told you so's

Heaven knows I've earned it


[Chorus]

If you're a river than I must be a spout

Where you deliver, I barely spit it out you know that

No one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean

You're what love is made of

My imitation's cheap


[Interlude]


[Outro]

I don't wanna lose you

I know you're not just a game I'm playing

When'll I ever understand?

The more I know it

The less I wanna show it:

Love means folding with a winning hand
