lyrics

You know I cannot stand the nights I'm chasing you home drunk
Or when a certain chinstrap runs his mouth, it leaves me feeling stunned
I'll never understand if they've got better things to do
So light your smokes and point them all towards me
Cuz I am just your lowly GDI

When I think about the ways you drive me up a wall
In the bigger picture of us both it makes them seem so small
Cuz love is not a feeling or a momentary high
But love's a conscious act we choose to never question why

So this is my promise
My way of telling you
There's more to this than feels, it's true
I know that pain that you've been through
But you know that I'm in this
For better or for worse
I'm gonna love you with all that I got
For the love of God quit taking shots

See that's the difference between him and between you and I
I'll never treat the one I love the way he did most nights
So let's be honest, take your pick, cuz most nights were that bad
From lashing out to constant doubt, it's oh so very sad
But a happy melody can't hide the darkness that's beneath
No really man, you're sick, so sick, please get the help you need
I'd heal your pain but sadly that's just not my place to say
I'll leave that to the one who put you here in the first place

So this is my promise
My way of telling you
There's more to this than feels, it's true
I know that pain that you've been through
But you know that I'm in this
For better or for worse
I'm gonna love you with all that I got
For the love of God quit taking shots

Ali's lighting hats on fire
Chloe's texting me at 4
Gleason's spreading rumors
From Ketler's basement floor
Andrew's having trouble wiping
Caleb's looking like Flat Stanley
Felipe's coming strong, but I love her oh so dearly

So this is my promise
My way of telling you
There's more to this than feels, it's true
I know that pain that you've been through
But you know
I'm gonna love you with all that I got
For the love of God quit taking shots
Felipe's coming strong, but I love you
