Either Way
Lee Ann Womack
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
We pass in the hall On our way to separate rooms The only time we ever talk Is when the monthly bills are due We go work, we go to church We fake the perfect life I'm past the point of give a damn And all my tears are cried [Chorus] We can just go on like this Say the word we'll call it quits Baby you can go or you can stay I won't love you either way It's been so long since I felt Anything inside these walls You can't hate and you can't hurt When you don't feel at all I used to cry and stay up nights And wonder what went wrong It's been hard but hearts can only Do that for so long [Chorus: x2]
