[Chorus 1: Tim McGraw]
Your love for me, it didn't last long
One part right, and two parts wrong
One part love, two parts pain
One part sunshine, two parts rain
[Verse 2: Tim McGraw]
My friends told me you were slipping away
I smiled and said I don't believe what you say
As long as they'll always be birds in the sky
Your love, your love for me, baby, will never ever die
Oh darling
[Chorus 2: Tim McGraw & Faith Hill]
Your love for me, crumbling down
One part truth and two parts lie
One part rock and two parts sand
One part stay and two parts ran
[Verse 3: Tim McGraw & Both]
When you took one step I take two
I'm trying my best to hold onto you
But love can't be love without some give and take
And loving you too much was my greatest mistake
Oh darling
[Verse 4: Tim McGraw & Both]
Oh the love that's in you is all that I need
But you just give one third to me
And all of your sweetness
Wouldn't last much longer
And If I had it all I would be much stronger
Oh Darlin'
[Chorus 1: Both]
Your love for me, it didn't last long
One part right, and two parts wrong
One part love, two parts pain
One part sunshine, two parts rain
[Chorus 2: Both]
Your love for me, crumbling down
One part truth and two parts lie
One part rock and two parts sand
One part stay and, baby, two parts ran
Oh one part stay, and two parts ran
Your love for me, it didn't last long
One part right, and two parts wrong
One part love, two parts pain
One part sunshine, two parts rain
[Verse 2: Tim McGraw]
My friends told me you were slipping away
I smiled and said I don't believe what you say
As long as they'll always be birds in the sky
Your love, your love for me, baby, will never ever die
Oh darling
[Chorus 2: Tim McGraw & Faith Hill]
Your love for me, crumbling down
One part truth and two parts lie
One part rock and two parts sand
One part stay and two parts ran
[Verse 3: Tim McGraw & Both]
When you took one step I take two
I'm trying my best to hold onto you
But love can't be love without some give and take
And loving you too much was my greatest mistake
Oh darling
[Verse 4: Tim McGraw & Both]
Oh the love that's in you is all that I need
But you just give one third to me
And all of your sweetness
Wouldn't last much longer
And If I had it all I would be much stronger
Oh Darlin'
[Chorus 1: Both]
Your love for me, it didn't last long
One part right, and two parts wrong
One part love, two parts pain
One part sunshine, two parts rain
[Chorus 2: Both]
Your love for me, crumbling down
One part truth and two parts lie
One part rock and two parts sand
One part stay and, baby, two parts ran
Oh one part stay, and two parts ran
