Dear Alice

I remember the words that you said when we left for Alaska
 Let's pack our bags in the truck with our love and go drive for a while
 I can't understand all the mysteries in this old Bible
 But the closer we get, well, the harder we hurt when we fall
 I can't win them all
 But I still want you
 and I'm hoping deep down that you want me too
 Are we worth it?
 Are we worth what I put you through?
 I can't earn it
 I can't earn it, you've got to choose
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 And I burn for you
 My brother he called and said I should get back home
 Out in East Tennessee where it's prettiest there in the fall
 They say that true love tells the truth even if it's a burden
 Well, I guess I'm still learning
 Cause most of the time I just talk
 and fill up these walls with half-hearted tunes
 I'm a good man with bones that bruise
 I'm not perfect
 But I'm learning to tell the truth
 Show me some mercy
 Cause I'm hurtin, for hurtin you
 Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
 Oh, Oh
 All that I wanted was never enough
 All that I needed was more of your love
 Please come home to me
 Please come home to me
 Please come home to me
