Drifting
b.l.underwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You told me that our love would never end
I wanna talk but where do we begin
Now I’m losing you
I think we should try to get some help
To speak on all the things that we have felt
What have we got to lose
Now you’re drifting away
I wish you would stay
But I know you’re afraid
Now I’m losing your heart
We’re so far apart
Let’s go back to the start
I told you that I never want to fight
I told you I believe we’ll make this right
Whatever we have to do
You told me you would always hold my hand
Even if you didn’t understand
All of the things I do
Now you’re drifting away
I wish you would stay
But I know you’re afraid
Now I’m losing your heart




We’re so far apart
Let’s go back to the start
