I'd Rather Have You lyrics

This is one song I never wanted to write
But it all just poured out on the day you walked out of my life
It was truly inspired by love that once was so strong
But I'd rather have you, I'd rather have you than this song

Now everyone tells me this one could open the doors
The break I've been needing, the one they'll remember me for
Hey and I always dreamed I could make the whole world sing along
But I'd rather have you, I'd rather have you than this song

It came from the heart of a promise that two lovers made
It's a song about love but I hate what it has to say
'Cause it's a constant reminder that the light of my life now is gone
And I'd rather have you, girl, I'd rather have you than this song

Well, as long as there's someone like me lovin' someone like you
Then there'll always be sad songs doin' what good sad songs do
They help us feel better when something so right goes so wrong
Yeah and the medicine's strong, but I'd rather have you than this song

It's eternally with me
A melody I can't tune out
And whenever they ask me I don't tell 'em who it's about
How could a love of a lifetime end up just 3 minutes long
Oh and each time I hear it I'd rather have you than this song

Hey and I always dreamed I could make the whole world sing along
Yeah, it might make me famous, turn my life around
Make lots of money, but as sweet as that sounds
Girl, none of tht matters
I'd rather rather have you than this song
