Currently Listening Love On The Inside [Deluxe Fan Edition] By Sugarland Keep You see related

People always ask me how I can listen to country music, and I always come back with the response that I can relate to the lyrics of the songs.  And now I have found the song that give the best example of how I relate to the lyrics.  On Sugarland's newest album, "Love on the Inside" the song 'Keep You' describe a time of my life where I was in so much pain I was numb.  I was so hurt from what did/didn't happen with a guy and I trying to find out what was wrong with me, I just became numb.  There were no ups or no downs, no sadness(even thought I was in the most depressing time in my life) and no joys.  I was just existing, not  a way to live. This time of my life I have never been able to put into words, till I found this song.  I hope this leaves you with a little understanding of that time of my life. 

From the Sugarland website:

'Keep You'
Is it possible to write an emotional song about being numb? It’s like writing a song about being loud by being quiet, Nettles and Bush think. That irony, blended with a bittersweet epiphany of knowing it’s time to walk away, make this one of the most contemporary done-me-wrong songs of our time. “Subtlety and nuance make all the difference in this song. Painting emotions with broad strokes is easy, but this time we’re using a toothbrush to dig through the finer emotions,” says Nettles, comparing the duo to archeologists. And the vocal range she plays with throughout keep this song on the edgier side, because of the way she explodes into huge notes that few singers can even attempt.

From the album liner notes:

"When a pending pain is so big, there is an inner place that a soul will go to keep from breaking.  A place where it sits and hold terrible still, an emotional coma that allows our heart a moment of Peace so that we can begin to heal.  In this place we find a void, where there is no feeling, no up, no down, so sound, no taste.  This song is about that void.

The lyrics:

We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic.
But we couldn't make us disappear.
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.
So run away, I'm glad you're still here.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' the ghost in front of me.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

I wrote a couple of notes.
One in love, one in anger.
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer.
Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
He loved me until I loved you even more.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' someone else who wanted me.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting
Till you can't feel anything.

You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it.
As if your words were my tears.
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.
Then all that disappears.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.

What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

Radiator says 95
but I ain't felt a drop of heat all night
here in this motel there's no tellin me nothin'
I come here five nights a week
to clean the toilets and change these sheets
my name's Maggie Duran
Baby ain't that somethin'

Chorus:
If you want it
Come and get it
If you want it
Come and get it
You'll understand
You take me as I am

I know these corners I know these streets
Curbside prophets they're yellin' at me
He can save my soul for a drink and a dollar
They keep starin' at my tattoos
We all live with the scars we choose
They might hurt like hell
but they all make us stronger

Chorus

Slow to trust but I'm quick to love
Push too hard and I give too much
I ain't sayin' I'm perfect
but I promise I'm worth it
Now I'm standing here in front of you
Tell me boy what you gonna do
My name's Maggie Duran
Baby ain't that somethin'

Where was this song 4 years ago when I really could have used it...

She couldn't see the way your eyes,
Will light up when you smiled
She never noticed how you stop and stare
Whenever she walked by

And you couldn't see me wanting you the way you want her
But you are everything to me

And I just wanted to show you
She didn't even know you
She never loved you like I wanted to
And you just saw right through me
But if you only knew me
We could have been a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible

Their is a fire inside of you
That can't help but shine through
She's never going to see the light
No matter what you do

And all i thought about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be

And I just wanted to show you
She didn't even know you
She never loved you like I wanted to
And you just saw right through me
But if you only knew me
We could have been a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible

Like shadows in a faded light
Oh we're invisible
I just wanted to open your eyes
And make you realize

[Chorus:]
I just wanted to show you
She don't even know you
Baby let me love you let me want you
You just saw right through me
But if you only knew me
We could have been a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible

She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile

Cold As You

You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take
You take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want
Cause I'm not what you wanted

Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
So just walk away
No use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you and washed them all away
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
So just walk away
No use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You never did give a damn thing, honey
But I cried, cried for you
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died
Died for you (died for you)

Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending give to a perfect day
Every smile you fake is so condescending
Counted all the scars you made
Now that I'm sitting her thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

~Taylor Swift & Liz Rose
