I got a letter in the mail today
My future's knocking at my door again
And I don't know if I can take much more
Momma, I'm sorry
That this is how the cards play
But I can't do what you want, I gotta go my own way
Gotta line my eyes up on the horizon
Life is a climb and I'm on the rise, so
Don't say I don't love you if you just want me to be safe
I got a letter in the mail today
My future's knocking at my door again
And I don't know if I could take much more
If you ain't doin much
I know some things we could do, I love you too much
And I can't do without you so we could
Get away, run away, stay away
From everything that I can't take
Cuz running from it's keeping me awake
My pocket's empty
And I've only got envy now
It's a hell of a lifestyle, oh yeah
Pride will take you miles, oh yeah
They said it'd be worth your while
I got this feeling in my soul
This something's really got a hold of me
And I don't feel like I have control
I got a letter in the mail today
My future's knocking at my door again
And I don't know if I could take much more
If you ain't doin much
I know some things we could do I love you too much
And I can't do without you so we could
Get away, run away, stay away
From everything that I can't take
Cuz running from it's keeping me awake
Know what I feel I just don't say it
Melodies in my head but I won't play them
You said I make you light up when I step in
I remembered this, I try to savor it
I remember the color of your eyes now
How could I let those waters break me down
You let me, you let me, you let me go
You let me, you let me, oh
But if you ain't doin much
I know some things we could do, I love you too much
And I can't do without you so we could
Get away, run away, stay away
From everything that I can't take
Cuz running from it's keeping me awake
