Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look around, every wall talking
Paint still got the year we bought it
Little handprints in the hallway
Old bikes and Power Wheels in the garage
I put time in this dirt
Went to work and came to work
When you said you'd call it quits
Hell yeah, it had me hurt
Ain't just love on the table
It's everything we built
[Chorus]
It ain't just you and me, it's Texas or Tennessee
It's who gets the kids and who gets the blame
Who is smiling, who feels the pain
Who's moving on and who feels the same
Moving on with the breaking up
Got me here hating love
If I had it all in my hands
I'd just make it like it was
If I had it all in my hands
I'd just make it like it was
[Verse 2]
I'm supposed to watch it all with my own two eyes
I'm too real to cry
I'm usually good at this, don't know how to feel this time
Sleeping alone with the static on the FM
Me and my heart, we separate now
It's right where you left him
My kids know my hurt, my heart's in her purse
And my check's in her account
Too late to work it out
She did like them checks and she had bounced
[Chorus]
It ain't just you and me, it's Texas or Tennessee
It's who gets the kids and who gets the blame
Who is smiling, who feels the pain
Who's moving on and who feels the same
Moving on with the breaking up
Got me here hating love
If I had it all in my hands
I'd just make it like it was
If I had it all in my hands
I'd just make it like it was
[Outro]
I'd just make it like it was
Yeah, make it like it was
I'd just make it like it was
I'd just make it like it was
I'd just make it like it was
