Verse 1 You always say you can’t write songs But baby you’ve been writing one all along In late night calls and honest truths In the way you see straight through You say nobody’s perfect We all got scars and things we regret But what makes me perfect to you Is just the way I make you feel when I’m next to you You said I make you glad to be alive And God… I still hear that line Cause you took all the doubt I carried And made me see myself through your eyes Pre-Chorus And every word you say to me Feels like poetry in disguise Even when it hurts the most There’s still so much love behind your eyes Chorus It’s such a fine line between love and pain Between holding on and walking away Between wanting someone with all your heart And knowing the timing ain’t right today You said you had to step away from me Not cause you stopped loving me But because halfway love cuts too deep When what you really want is everything But baby I still believe These loose ends won’t last forever And one day we’ll look back at this And realize love held us together Verse 2 You said not all men are the same And you proved that with every word Cause you never tried to tear me down You only reminded me what I deserve You told me don’t ever doubt myself No matter what anybody says That I’m special and always will be And those words still echo in my head You said somebody should love me enough To let me breathe and choose And somehow even stepping back Was your way of loving me too Pre-Chorus I know this situation hurts us both And I know I helped create the storm But even in the middle of the heartbreak Your love still feels like home Chorus It’s such a fine line between love and pain Between holding on and walking away Between wanting someone with all your heart And knowing the timing ain’t right today You said you had to step away from me Not cause you stopped loving me But because halfway love cuts too deep When what you really want is everything But baby I still believe These loose ends won’t last forever And one day we’ll look back at this And realize love held us together Bridge You may never call yourself a songwriter But these lyrics were already yours I just gathered up the pieces From all the nights you gave your heart away through words And every “baby,” every “don’t doubt yourself” Every “I just want the best for you” Built a melody between us Before either one of us knew Final Chorus / Outro It’s such a fine line between love and pain But I don’t believe this ends this way Cause some loves are too honest Just to fade away And someday when the timing’s right And we don’t have to hide what’s true I’ll play this song and smile and say— “Baby… you wrote this too.”
