Baby I Still Love You (Response to virgo2298248 song "Do You Still Love Me?")

[Verse 1] Sunlight spillin’ on a Sunday lawn Paper plates and kids runnin’ on and on I’m posted at the grill, smoke in my clothes Laughin’ with my boys, but my heartbeat knows Apron on, charcoal in my hands Tryna play it cool like a simple man Then I feel that hush cut through the noise Like the world went quiet on all my boys [Pre-Chorus] You walk in slow, summer dress in bloom Every step you take pulls me ‘cross the room I smell like smoke and meat, but I freeze in place ’Cause time stands still when I see your face [Chorus] Baby, I still love you More than I ever meant to show I wanna say it sweet and say it slow Let the words just take control Baby, I still love you Even after all we’ve been through If I get the chance, I’ll try to play it cool But inside I’m breaking all the rules Baby, I still love you [Verse 2] Friends crack jokes, “Man, flip that steak” But I’m staring at the past and my own mistakes Got jealous of a ghost that was never there Now I’m livin’ in the silence we couldn’t share You laugh with them, head tipped just right I remember holdin’ you on Friday nights I should’ve trusted you when you took my hand Instead I pushed too hard like a foolish man [Pre-Chorus] Now you’re just a heartbeat across the grass But it feels like oceans that we can’t get past If you catch my eye, I might lose control ’Cause your smile still reaches down to my soul [Chorus] Baby, I still love you More than I ever meant to show I wanna say it sweet and say it slow Let the words just take control Baby, I still love you Even after all we’ve been through If I get the chance, I’ll try to play it cool But inside I’m breaking all the rules Baby, I still love you [Bridge] I’m mad at myself for lettin’ anger win For all the little doubts that I carried in I turned nothin’ into somethin’, burned our home to the ground Now I’m searchin’ for your echo in this picnic sound [Breakdown] If I just say “Hi,” will you turn my way? Will you hear the words I’m too scared to say? ’Cause all I really want, deep down in my soul Is to say it sweet and slow, let the truth unfold [Chorus] Baby, I still love you More than I ever meant to show I wanna say it sweet and say it slow Let the words just take control Baby, I still love you Even after all we’ve been through If I get the chance, I’ll stand in front of you And let my heart confess the truth Baby, I still love you [Outro] So sweet and slow, I’ll tell you So sweet and slow, it’s true If you’d let me back inside your heart I’d spend my whole life proving you That, baby, I still love you Yeah, baby, I still love you
