Christmas Creek

I got some sad news when my mom called me last night

My cousin Nick fought with demons and he lost the fight

The pain in her voice made me think of you

And how I just wanted to call you and tell you what I was going through

We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into

You had to have loved me, to hate me this much

Oh, it's true

The things that I felt, what I kept to myself

There's so much I put you through

But I'm reminded of what my mom said

Letting go isn't the end

I stared out of the window as Tom drove the van

Middle of nowhere, Texas, I think of my dad

When I look down we drove over Christmas Creek

Wondering what you're doing or if you're thinking of me

Well, we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into

And you had to have loved me, to hate me this much

Oh, it's true

The things that you felt you kept to yourself

I'll never know what to do

But I'm reminded of what my mom said

You had to have loved me

Oh, you had to have loved me
