I'm trapped in a hospital room That hospital room is inside my head Doctors are trying to mend the stitches on my broken heart Lord, get me out of this goddamn bed I fell in love with a woman She's the sweetest girl I've ever seen Tried to show her the better side of myself Give her the best part of me There's one thing that can give me back my freedom I just wanna hear you say my name It was short-lived love Runnin' down the highway Gettin' all the back roads open If the rain came down on a Sunday Stay a little longer I don't wanna wonder if I'm gonna see you next weekend Now your memory's all I got It was short-lived love I've tried everything to forget about you Mixed more gin with tonic than an average man should Powdered my brain with the harshest of chemicals Tried to disappear for the greater good There's something about the way I look at you There's something about the way you look at me Can't seem to recreate that with another woman That's enough to tell me I ain't ready to set you free It was short-lived love Runnin' down the highway Gettin' all the back roads open If the rain came down on a Sunday Stay a little longer I don't wanna wonder if I'm gonna see you next weekend Now your memory's all I got Now your memory's all I got It was short-lived love It was short-lived love It was short-lived love It was short-lived love It was short-lived love
