​miles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm scared today, more than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left
Proud of me, that's the only way I want you to be
Look at me and love what you see

[Bridge]
I won't make it alone
I need something to hold

[Hook]
Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's

[Verse 2]
We made it out
And all the other people are asking how
This doesn't even sound like truth
To grow from a bruise
But one day we will realize
How hard it was, how hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive
[Hook]
Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's

[Verse 3]
And these are words I wish you said
But that's not how it went
Cause you gave up on us in the end


[Bridge]
I won't make it alone
I need something to hold

[Hook]
Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's
Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
