Verse 1 / Intro
By trade or by habit,
I made another love song for you.
You don’t have to like it,
Just listen
To what I’ve got to say
In this song.
Verse 2
We started driftin’ apart.
Nothin’ seemed to fit no more:
Schedules and routines…
So many dinners went cold.
I’d come home tired,
Forgot about you,
Lost myself from us.
Verse 3
Clothes, comfort, travels…
Thought that’d be enough to make you happy.
But I never found time for you;
I denied you what you needed most.
Pre-Chorus
The habit was the highway,
The job was the stage.
Chorus
By trade or by habit,
I made another love song for you.
You don’t have to like it,
Just listen
To everything I kept inside of me.
Verse 4
Houses, cars, plenty…
I thought that was enough love.
I set you aside, left you for later,
Shared everything that wasn’t love with you.
Hook
I know it’s late…
I know there’s no turnin’ back.
Verse 5
He works from nine to five,
I was never home.
He lives each moment with you,
I covered you in gold…
But not in care.
Pre-Chorus
The stage and the road
Stole me away from you.
Chorus / Outro
By trade or by habit,
I made another love song.
Everything I kept inside of me,
All I tried to say, but couldn’t.
