MUSIC FOR SALE

Coffee’s cold, your eyes are gone,
You’ve been sittin’ in that silence all morning long.
I ask what’s wrong, you just shake your head,
Like the pain in your chest ain’t got no words to be said.

I gave you space, I held you tight,
Lit every candle just to bring you light.
But baby, you been walkin’ round like a ghost,
And I’m learnin’ the hard way, you need you the most.

Cause I can hold you, but I can’t fix you,
Can’t fill up what the world done missed you.
You got a hole that love can’t fill,
And I’d give anything — but I never will.
You’re searchin’ for peace like it’s somethin’ new,
But I can’t want it, baby, I can’t want it for you.


I’ve been strong, and I’ve been weak,
I’ve watched your soul forget how to speak.
You drink that quiet like it’s Tennessee rye,
But numbin’ the pain just leaves it bone dry.

Yeah, I’ve sang you songs, tried to pull you back,
But you keep driftin’ down some lonely track.
And the truth I hate but can’t outrun,
Is I ain’t the moon, and I sure ain’t the sun.

Cause I can hold you, but I can’t fix you,
Can’t fill up what the world done missed you.
You got a hole that love can’t fill,
And I’d give anything — but I never will.
You’re searchin’ for peace like it’s somethin’ new,
But I can’t want it, baby, I can’t want it for you.


I ain’t walkin’ out, but I ain’t breakin’ down,
A man can drown tryin’ to save what’s already gone.
I’ll leave the light on if you ever come around,
But I’m done beggin’ your heart to hang on.

I can love you, but I can’t save you,
Can’t make you whole when you don’t wanna be.
You got a fire that’s burnin’ low,
And only you can make it glow.
You’re chasin’ somethin’ you can’t see through,
But I can’t want it, baby, I can’t want it for you.

Yeah… I can’t want it…
Can’t want it more than you do…
