Ruth (feat. Purser)

I've trained myself to hold my breath When your mother's on the phone The tension that you carry Carries over when we are alone I think she's afraid to ask Who's been taking up your time Or if her worst nightmare's waiting for you When you're off the line But you feel like a dream of mine When it's only you and I Cast her words aside Be with me tonight She can't see that it's so right But I will go where you go For the rest of my life My God, you look beautiful tonight As I bite my tongue I capture All the words you cannot say Like "Mother, she's my rapture" "Mom, she made me lunch for work today" I wish it wasn't so hard My love for you is clear to see Will I always look like a demon When she lays her eyes on me? Will no amount of sleepless nights Staying up right by your side Ever make a dent? Darlin, they're hellbent They'll never be satisfied But I will live where you live For the rest of my life My God, you look beautiful tonight The way you love me is so pure Like no one ever has before And I have never been so sure Of something to be fighting for So I will play their devil Just to hold you through the hell they made And I'll be right there when you realize You've got your own soul to save Cuz I will live where you live And I will go where you go And your God will be my God We'll make a path to follow It'll all be alright My God, you look beautiful tonight Well I've heard from the holy order Others who love just like me They've been through it too & They say time & love heal everything
