That I Do

I wish you didn't need it anymore

I understand exactly what you use it for

And better isn't always doing well

I know because I'm better now myself

And it's true, I need it too

But not the way that you do

I wish I didn't love you quite as much

The reason that we never talk and never touch

Is the same reason that I've never done enough

To show you that you never needed to earn my love

And it's true, you love me too

But not the way that I do

I wish I didn't hold you to your word

Ignited and decided, they are undeserved

I've never discovered when to stop

That giant made of stone came down off the mountain top

See, it's true, I lie to you

But not as well as you do

And it's true, I need it too

But not the way that you do
