Lyrics

The Key
we started out so young and free
we were filled with the promise of what could be
but in the end when all hope was lost
we paid a terrible cost

do u hear the voices u use to know
or did u find a way to let em go
did u ever remember a single word
believe anything u heard

chorus
you know darlin i love u
why else would i try to
live my life the way i do
it's because i love u

well i got this heart a few years ago
on one of my trips down to mexico
not much left but some unsavory ghost
memories are what i miss the most

sittin here for three long days
i got whiskey and pills and bills to pay
i gotta get up outta this chair
i gotta find a reason to care

chorus
you know darlin i love u
why else would i try to
live my life the way i do
it's because i love u

i wonder where u r tonight
i'm wonderin if u ever got it right
did you ever get to have the final say
or did the devil have his way

did u ever find the key
did u ever finally get to see
that all that glitters is not gold
was it worth the love you sold

chorus
you know darlin i love u
why else would i try to
live my life the way i do
it's because i love u

you know darlin i love u
why else would i try to
live my life the way i do
it's all because i loved u
