[ Featuring Audra Mae ]
Empathy's a wild thing
Tugging on my heart strings singing
That one needs a sweet dream
Love can be a nightmare
When you're looking at the moon like it's medicine
Dancin with a fool when you need a man
Come a little bit closer
No don't you cry
I won't give you forever
But I'll give you all night
It's a hard pill to swallow
But you still gotta try
To smile every time another lover says goodbye
Baby I was like you
Maybe I was all too willing
Learning to be lied to
Hiding to protect my feelings
Getting nothing back giving everything
Putting all my pain in the melody
Come a little bit closer
No don't you cry
I won't give you forever
But i'll give you all night
It's a hard pill to swallow
But you still gotta try
To smile every time another lover says goodbye
In a moment of weakness
I'd let you down
And you'd never know it
Until after I'm out
And the truth of the matter is
I'd rather be sorry now
Than lie like the other lovers always lie
To hide while I got you under covers try
To smile every time another lover says goodbye
