lyrics

You still can't nullify my love no matter how hard you try
(Darlin', turn your head around)
You've conjured up your alibis, darlin' what are you afraid of
(Before you fall to the ground)
You've got your reasons and your rhymes, I wish you didn't need them
(Don't look back at me in vain)
I'm going out upon a limb hoping you come to terms this time
(Unless you want to feel the pain)

You've got a mind that varies baby
You've got some baggage to carry
And I can't help you through it, no
You must learn your own way to do it
You've got a soul that's searchin' darlin'
You've got some hearts to be harmin'
So good luck go get to it, oh
I no longer care to pursue it

You can't know where I'm coming from no matter how hard you try
(Darlin', what did I do wrong)
You're asking for a reason why, darlin' they'd only leave you broken
(How could your feelings just be gone)
I just can't stick around this time, my heart is saying go
(Darlin', come on back to me)
Just trust that I still love you though, boy you know that is no lie
(before your love's out of reach)

You've got a mind that varies baby
You've got some baggage to carry
And I can't help you through it, no
You must learn your own way to do it
You've got a soul that's searchin' darlin'
You've got some hearts to be harmin'
So good luck go get to it, oh
I no longer care to pursue it
