[Verse 1]
'Cause when we're travelling down a one way street
And the ones we love aren't at our feet
When the timing's wrong but we want to make a change
I give parts of me to those who ask
They give back time, it never lasts
What's mine is yours, what's yours is never mine

[Chorus]
Don't try to tell me that it's gonna be okay
I've spent the night here wishing I could make you stay
The only thing that makes me feel like I can belong now
Is holding my guitar and write the words to my song

[Verse 2]
'Cause now there's nothing left to say to you
I've been here before I see straight through
Your empty words won't make a heart feel full
The door slams shut, the chapter's closed
A pen to scribe the future no-one knows
Release my grip and let this go
No, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Don't try to tell me that it's gonna be okay
I've spent the night here wishing I could make you stay
The only thing that makes me feel like I can belong now
Is holding my guitar and write the words to my song
[Bridge]
'Cause my truth is here
And I'll speak it so loud that you will hear
My truth is here and I'll speak it so loud that you will hear
My truth is here and I'll speak it so loud that you will hear
My truth is here and I'll speak it so loud

[Chorus]
Don't try to tell me that it's gonna be okay
I've spent the night here wishing I could make you stay
The only thing that makes me feel like I can belong now
Is holding my guitar and write the words to my song

[Outro]
Yeah
Don't try to tell me that it's gonna be okay
I've spent the night here wishing I could make you stay (I could make you stay)
The only thing that makes me feel like I can belong now (Can belong now)
Is holding my guitar and write the words to my song (To my song)
No, oh-oh-oh-oh
No, oh-oh-oh-oh
