lyrics

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
Words & Music written by Justin Stewart Cotta

I want to take the pressure off
I want to bring the temperature down
You know it's breaking me
That you might need
Some time alone...
You don't have to work a miracle
You don't have to play it cool
I know I'm out of frame
I'm splattered paint on your old blue jeans

Baby, I'm still crazy
You don't have to save me

You don't have to love me anymore
But can we still hold hands and clown around at the grocery store?
You don't have to worry anymore
But can we still hang out and I can crash on your bedroom floor?

I won't tell you that your beautiful
I won't call you at 3am
I won't play guitar of your favourite songs by your window
I saw you with a new man
I saw what I could not be
And I'm not gonna lie, I broke down and cried to see you happy

Baby, I'm still crazy
You don't have to save me

You don't have to love me anymore
But can we still hold hands and clown around at the grocery store?
You don't have to worry anymore
But can we still hang out and I can crash on your bedroom floor?

I love you my angel
More than you'll ever know
