Assurance

I've seen the way you look at me

I've seen you waiting patiently

I'm fine... well, I lied



If what we are is feeling low

I'd fear this if I had a soul

But you're still mine



I was afraid of being chained

I found a woman who could mend and bend

All of my deepest insights and thoughts



And it's just one more round, one more

One more round and I'm done



So you need assurance that everything's gonna be fine

'Cause you're just a woman who's everything good in my life



And though we've been over, weeping over, our last goodbye

I've learned to live with these fatal gifts

And still you're mine, so I...



So I wrote you this song

But you won't sing along to me

To sing...



The memories that used to be

Are carved into a sweet gum tree

Outside my place where I touched your face



And it was one more round, one more

One more round that I longed for



Still you need assurance that everything's gonna be fine

Yeah, you're just a woman who's everything good in my life



And though we've been over, weeping over, our last goodbye

Well I've learned to live with these fatal gifts

And still you're mine, so I...



So I wrote you this song

You're not here to sing along with me

To sing...
