Ryan Sweezey - Doing Time

The time's got me going
Right out of my mind
You know, it seems like
Only I'm not sure if I'll be alright
And though my face is made of stone
My heart is bursting with life
Can't see what's lying beneath
Under the surface of sight
Darling, I think you know it's hard
To take a blind leap of faith
Will we stumble, will we fall
Will we be lost without a trace
And in the darkness of these shadows
In this town without a name
Pointed fingers blur the lines
Of no one know and who's to blame
Yeah
It's tough love, baby
Ain't no reason or rhyme
I need a rough shove, baby
Just to keep me in line
Seems like being so lonely
Doesn't quite fit the crime
Guilty of loving too much
And now my heart's doing time
Play the cards that I've been dealt
'Cause I know that I can't fold
I know quitting's good for nothing
From the stories I've been told
What seemed like less than silver
Is really lined with gold
And all those warm summer days
Will cure the nights that grow so cold
I can take it for granted
Or take it for what it's worth
I can try to look for meaning
In the songs that I have heard
And I will be there for you, baby
If you ever say the word
This imprisonment my heart is in
Is the worst I have endured
It's tough love, baby
Ain't no reason or rhyme
I need a rough shove, baby
Just to keep me in line
Seems like being so lonely
Doesn't quite fit the crime
Guilty of loving too much
And now my heart's doing time
Instead of this missing key
My pride should have been swallowed
'Cause it don't mean enough to me
To make up for you
Gotta find a way to make you stay
Turn out these words I gotta say
'Cause I was never taught
To sing the the blues
It's tough love, baby
Ain't no reason or rhyme
I need a rough shove, baby
Just to keep me in line
Seems like being so lonely
Doesn't quite fit the crime
Guilty of loving too much
And now my heart's doing time
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
That's why I'm sitting here crying
I'll never say it enough
Girl, I love you so much
Oh, to keep you in my world
I'll put my heart on the line
