Something to lose

Written by Matt Andersen, Amy Helm and Ian Janes

Days they come and go
years go by the same
all we shared was careless words
keep a watch on the clock
for the little hand to stop
striking a match just to watch it burn

I don’t want to lose this love
haven’t we lost enough
a heart only takes so much
before it falls out of touch
i just want to hold you close
i don’t want to let it go
i’m gonna love you like i’ve got something to prove
i’m gonna love you like i’ve got something to lose

I can still remember
the first time i saw you
you were like a star that fell for me
let’s get back to then
make it new again
we’ve got too much right just to turn and leave

I don’t want to lose this love
haven’t we lost enough
a heart only takes so much
before it falls out of touch
i just want to hold you close
i don’t want to let it go
i’m gonna love you like i’ve got something to prove
i’m gonna love you like i’ve got something to lose
