All the Loves You’ve Loved

Sweet thing, I know that your heart stings
And I think I know what you’ve been through
All those loves that you loved, love, that never really loved you
So come to me, cuz I believe that I feel the same way too
And I can’t always be great, but I’ll always be good
I’ll always be good to you

Your sweet heart’s been ripped apart
And, Lord this world is hard enough
Without passing through to salt and pepper the wound
And swallow you right up
Sweet thing, where do I begin?
I won’t be another name to add
To the list of loves that you loved, love, that never loved you back
To the list of loves that you loved, love, that never loved you back

So come to me, I’m down on my knee
Asking you to meet me, asking you to believe me
When I say: Lovely, this is the day I wanna hear you say you wanna marry me
Don’t answer back now, think about it, I won’t back down
You can take your time
You’ve been burned
I’ve been hurt
Through it we’ve both learned time is a lovely ride
I’ve been hurt, you’ve been burned, through it we’ve both learned time is a lovely ride
Time is a lovely ride

Sweet thing, I know your heart stings
Mine feels the same way too
But I won’t be the love that you loved, love, that never really loved you
