Stop Me - Dear Love

We used to be like gospel

A constant star I followed

Always overheard

Like light inside a vacuum

A tree and a fallen apple

It wasn’t blood but it was family

That I thought you’d protect

So where were you when I needed us

Who’d you trade me up for

Now that I’m gonna walk out the door

You won’t stop me, stop me

Way back when things were so innocent

When it all felt so sure

Now that our paths don’t cross anymore

You won’t stop me, stop me

We were a safe confession

A bond I never questioned

Ground broken in youth

Like life and death both have us

A crawl before we stand up

Universal truth

One I thought you knew

So where were you when I needed us

Who’d you trade me up for

Now that I’m gonna walk out the door

You won’t stop me, stop me

Way back when things were so innocent

When it all felt so sure

Now that our paths don’t cross anymore

You won’t stop me, stop me

When it all turned in

I hid your blame

You hid your face

I bore the weight

And you let me sink

Under their shame

I keep the pain

As all that’s left of you

The pain as all that’s left of you

So where were you when I needed us

Who’d you trade me up for

Now that I’m gonna walk out the door

You won’t stop me, stop me

Way back when things were so innocent

When it all felt so sure

Now that our paths don’t cross anymore

You won’t stop me, stop me

Where were you when I needed us?

Where were you when I needed us?

Where were you when I needed us?

Where were you when I needed us?
