We ordered up one more bottle of wine
You told me your story and I thought about mine
You said when you lost her you lost everything it all started having a familiar ring
[ guitar ]
So I asked you to take me some place quiet
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
Somewhere around the break of day I could hear it coming from a mile away
So don't say that word not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't it's just the fear of being alone
[ guitar ]
Reckless hearts can clear a path wider than a hurricane's aftermath
We've both traveled down that road where in the name of love anything goes
So don't say that word...

Like a child in the night
With no one to hold you and tell you everything's gonna be all right
I must admit it's been fun but that's no reason to jump the gun
If this is real time will tell so let me bite my tongue and remind myself
Don't say that word...
