power - john michael howell lyrics

[intro]
i can’t say “i love you” ’cause that would allow her
to control my heart like the wind to a flower
blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours
for someone who won’t turn its love into power

[verse 1]
she knows the game more than i’ve ever seen
plays her cards with such ease, no one’s seen up her sleeve
it’s hard to trust someone who’s so good a liar
the more you grow closer, the more that you wonder
all her compliments, were they more than chatter?
or havе i always just been rungs on a ladder?

[chorus]
i can’t say “i love you” ’cause that would allow hеr
to control my heart like the wind to a flower
blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours
for someone who won’t turn its love into power
i don’t mean to sound narcissistic and sour
but my hesitation’s only growin’ louder
so call me a pessimist, call me a coward
but i still don’t trust when she says “i don’t love you for power”

[verse 2]
oh, i try not to care so i don’t lose my cool
when i do, my brain goes all numb like a fool
like a thief in the night, she works behind the scenes
steals your heart when it’s dark so no one ever sees
and i couldn’t see her intentions if they were the sun
love is blind, but her silence speaks loudly enough
[chorus]
i can’t say “i love you” ’cause that would allow her
to control my heart like the wind to a flower
blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours
for someone who won’t turn its love into power
i don’t mean to sound narcissistic and sour
but my hesitation’s only growin’ louder
so call me a pessimist, call me a coward
but i still don’t trust when she says “i don’t love you for power”
(power, power, power)

[outro]
so call me a pessimist, call me a coward
but i still don’t trust when she says “i don’t love you for power”
