"Ten" lyrics

Ten

Whoever said that love is easy
Must has never been in love
Sometimes it's a land mine
One wrong step and it blows up
A word, a look
Lights a hidden fuse

It's hard to see just what you have
When you're seeing red
And it's easy to do something
That you know you both will regret
Better stop, think
Count to ten before I leave

One, I still wanna hate you
Two, three, I still wanna leave
Four, searching for that door
Five, then I look in your eyes
Six, take a deep breathe
Seven, take a step back
Eight, nine, I don't know why
We even started this fight
By the time I get to ten
I'm right back in your arms again

Words thrown so callously
Like weapons when we fight
But when they cut too deep
I wanna leave it all behind
That I've to count to ten
Before I cross that line

One, I still wanna hate you
Two, three, I still wanna leave
Four, searching for that door
Five, then I look in your eyes
Six, take a deep breathe
Seven, take a step back
Eight, nine, I don't know why
We even started this fight
By the time I get to ten
I'm right back in your arms again

You can lose what you're not thankful for
I don't want that to happen to you and me
Better count my blessings

One, you still move me
Two, three, you send chills right through me
Four, you keep me wanting more
Five, when I look in your eye
Six, you're my best friend
Seven, that will never end
Eight, nine, I don't know why
But thank God it happens every time
By the time I get to ten
By the time I get to ten
I can see how blessed I've been

I'd chose you all over again
