I want a sober kind of love
I want a sober kind of love
I don’t want to get high on you no more
I don’t want to get drunk on you
I want a sober kind of love
I want to know her kind of love
I don’t wanna turn deaf and dumb and blind
Each and every time I see you
Help me
Help me stay inside myself
And save me
Save me from the demons
That tell me I need you to be
Always lying next to me
I know
It’s not so
Help me
Help me listen to myself
And heal me
Of the lousy messages
I got from all the movies
And I got from all the songs
About what love was s’posed to be
I got it so very wrong
Every morning I wake up and promptly hit my knees
I’m asking God knows what to cure me of this dread disease
Of staking all my happiness on your adoring looks
Of needing you to know my thoughts and read all of my booksWon’t you read this book to me
Help me
Write the final chapter
In the novel with no ending
Of this life I’m done defending
It’s a tale
Of how I failed
Help me
Erase these lying voices
That say love it must destroy you
At the very least annoy you
Or spare you
The pain of being alive
But it won’t
It won’t do thatI’ve been a great romancer I thought that was how to live
If love it is the answer I don’t know what the question is
I’m exhausted by the chase I sure could use some rest
I said goodbye to that old life I’ve only one requestI want a sober kind of love
I’m over that kind of love
The kind of love where I lose myself
The kind of love where you do tooI want a sober kind of love
I want a sober kind of love
Teach me God how to be next to her
While keeping my heart close to you
