If it's true what they say about the past
Coming back around
Then it's just a matter of time
Before I get let down
Now I'm standing at the place
Where love could go either way
This time maybe
It won't go the same
(Chorus)
But if history will decide
That I'm a goner where I lie
Nothing's gonna change
This path leads right to pain
And I know it sounds cliché
That a new day will tell
But if history will decide
Then tomorrow looks like hell
I can't figure where to put the blame
For the life of me
'Cause love's never been hard to find
Just hard to keep
And any gambler knows
His chances before he rolls
And I keep betting my heart
On true love
(Repeat Chorus)
But if history will decide
(Kenny Alphin/Danni Leigh)
Beatin' my head against the wall
Love can't be figured out at all
I thought the whole thing through
Don't know what else to do
I'm beatin' my head against the wall
What a situation
The perfect combination
We fit together like a puzzle
There was no mistakin'
A true love in the makin'
I didn't forsee any trouble
So how was I to know he'd be the two-timin' kind
Just sparin' me a heartache with his lies
Beatin' my head against the wall
Love can't be figured out at all
I thought the whole thing through
Don't know what else to do
I'm beatin' my head against the wall
I looked him in the eye
Said this is my goodbye
You and I will soon be history
He fell down to his knees
Cryin' baby, please
Don't leave me, I'm so sorry
Now I'm all alone, thinkin' I'm the one to blame
'Cause his memory is drivin' me insane
Beatin' my head against the wall
Love can't be figured out at all
I thought the whole thing through
Don't know what else to do
I'm beatin' my head against the wall
I thought the whole thing through
Don't know what else to do
I'm beatin' my head against the wall
Yeah, I'm beatin' my head against the wall
(Monte Warden/Doug Swander/Danni Leigh)
Chain
Chain me to the railroad tracks
Felt just like a freight train
When you said you ain't comin' back
Heartache, tears, and loneliness
Ain't nothin' you can do to hurt me more than this
Chain me to the railroad tracks
Baby, I'm trying hard to understand it
After all, you said our love was true
Now, you wanna go and leave me
Acting like you don't need me
There's just one thing left for you to do
Chain me to the railroad tracks
Felt just like a freight train
When you said you ain't comin' back
Heartache, tears, and loneliness
Ain't nothin' you can do to hurt me more than this
Chain me to the railroad tracks
You can't make my heart feel like it's over
When pain like this just wants to hang around
Can't you see just what you're doing
With those goodbye words you're using
Might as well go on and lay me down
Chain me to the railroad tracks
Felt just like a freight train
When you said you ain't comin' back
Heartache, tears, and loneliness
Ain't nothin' you can do to hurt me more than this
Chain me to the railroad tracks
Heartache, tears, and loneliness
Ain't nothin' you can do to hurt me more than this
Chain me to the railroad tracks
(Jim Lauderdale)
Divide and conquer
That's what it's gonna do
Getting near every time
She gets close to you
Crying on her shoulder
You say she's just your friend
Why's she standing in the wings
Waiting for us to end
You don't have to be afraid
While I'm away
So don't go crying wolf
To one who's gonna stake its claim
Divide and conquer
Tearing us apart
Hitting me where it hurts
Taking you by the heart
You don't have to be afraid
While I'm away
So don't go crying wolf
To one who's gonna stake its claim
Divide and conquer
I think you know it's true
Always sticking up for her
In everything that she'll do
Divide and conquer
Divide and conquer
Baby, won't you come back home?
I'm tired of bein' all alone
Just sittin' on a barstool actin' like a sad fool
Ever since you've been gone
Do I love you, do I miss you?
Honey, I do
Do I cry, since you've said goodbye?
Honey, I do
Honey, I do, honey, I do
I just put fifty five dollars away
Just to hear that ol' jukebox play
'Cause I found your favorite love song
Played it all night long and all I got is heartache
Do I love you, do I miss you?
Honey, I do
Do I cry, since you've said goodbye?
Honey, I do
Honey, I do, honey, I do
Do I, do I miss you?
Honey I do
Oh, you know I do, honey
I got the honky tonk blues again
This loneliness just won't end
There's your memory in everything I see
Here it comes again
Do I love you, do I miss you?
Honey, I do
Do I cry, since you've said goodbye?
Honey, I do
Honey, I do, honey, I do
Do I, do I miss you?
Honey I do, I do, I do
(Mike Noble/Michael Lunn/Danni Leigh)
We both agreed it'd be wise to be free
Two weeks gone by and all I do is wonder why
Maybe we were wrong
'Cause here's what's been goin' on
Long empty nights, still hurtin'
Alone, knowin' I want you
Wastin' all this time apart
Ain't worth it, tell the truth
Feels so lonely
How does it feel to you
Do you miss me, too
Word all over town is you've been out but lookin' down
Me, I'm doin' fine, except when you come to mind
Every minute or so
Baby, I can't let go
Long empty nights, still hurtin'
Alone, knowin' I want you
Wastin' all this time apart
Ain't worth it, tell the truth
Feels so lonely
How does it feel to you
Say you need me, too
Bring your sweet love back to me
Baby, it's worth the wait
I know how your kisses feel
Please don't hesitate
Long empty nights, still hurtin'
Alone, knowin' I want you
Wastin' all this time apart
Ain't worth it, tell the truth
Feels so lonely
How does it feel to you
Say you need me, too
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
How long can a girl keep goin'
Like every day's the last
I've paid off the rent and the government
Maybe I could pay off the past
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
Wouldn't I be on easy street
Livin' this life of mine
I could keep right on till the hurt's all gone
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
If the jukebox took teardrops
Open the door try me once more
I'm not the one that you knew before
If you'll let me stay, I'll find a way
Back in your arms again
I tried to hold on but you were too strong
I gave you the world but my intentions were wrong
If you'll let me stay, I'll find a way
Back in your arms again
Even fools get a second chance on love
Only a fool would even need a second chance with you
Let down your guard don't break my heart
All that I want is to be where you are
If you'll let me stay, I'll find a way
Back in your arms again
Even fools get a second chance on love
Only a fool would even need a second chance with you
Let down your guard don't break my heart
All that I want is to be where you are
If you'll let me stay, I'll find a way
Back in your arms again
If you'll let me stay, I'll find a way
Where you gonna go, babe
When the sun goes down
When you're all alone, babe
Ain't no love around
When your glass is empty
And it can't be filled
And you're thinkin' about you and me
And you're thirsty still
What 'cha gonna do about losin' me
What're you countin' on
What 'cha gonna do about losin' me
Once I'm gone
Did you think that you could just keep using me
Do you really think I was that kind
What 'cha gonna do about losin' me
What 'cha gonna tell yourself this time
How you gonna feel, babe
Come some sunny morn
When it dawns upon you
How it all went wrong
And will you remember
Will you ever see
I was only worth
What you could get from me
What 'cha gonna do about losin' me
What're you countin' on
What 'cha gonna do about losin' me
Once I'm gone
Did you think that you could just keep using me
Do you really think I was that kind
What 'cha gonna do about losin' me
What 'cha gonna do, babe
What 'cha gonna do, babe, yeah
What 'cha gonna tell yourself this time
Weren't you the one
You've been throwing stones upon my bedroom window pane
Standing in the rain at midnight, calling out my name
Sittin' on my doorstep cryin', trying to make me think you're dyin'
I'd be a fool to think it's true
Weren't you the one who walked yourself right out the door?
Said you're never coming back no more
Didn't even give one reason why, you said goodbye
Weren't you the one who said I was your one and only?
The same one who left me lonely, weren't you the one?
You've been making gestures like there ain't no yesterday
Playing on my heart, as if you never went away
Thinking you still own my kissin', honey, you go on, keep wishin'
Ain't nothing further from the truth
Weren't you the one who walked yourself right out the door?
Said you're never coming back no more
Didn't even give one reason why, you said goodbye
Weren't you the one who said I was your one and only?
The same one who left me lonely, weren't you the one?
Weren't you the one who said I was your one and only?
The same one who left me lonely
Weren't you the one who walked yourself right out the door?
Said you're never coming back no more
Didn't even give one reason why, you said goodbye
Weren't you the one who said I was your one and only?
The same one who left me lonely, weren't you the one?
Weren't you the one?
Didn't you say goodbye, baby
Weren't you the one who walked out?
Weren't you the one?
(Phil Lee)
That girl gets away with murder
That girl really likes to hurt him
Well, if I recall, I never ever did you that way
If I did, I'm really, truly sorry
I hope nobody ever pointed and said
When I was still in his world
Saying somebody oughta do something about that girl
That girl only wants to use him
Spend his money and confuse him
Sometimes, it might've seemed like I was doing him like that
But I know we're in it together
I hope nobody ever whispered my name
Down some dark alley
Saying somebody oughta do something about that girl
Yeah, somebody oughta do something about that girl
Some girls you just don't trust
Some girls are always one up on us
Breaking your heart, taking him away
Well, someone's gonna get her one day
That girl really likes to hurt him
That girl really don't deserve him
Well, once or twice maybe, I hurt him like she did
But I tell you, I didn't mean to
Well, I hope nobody ever pointed and said
Danni Leigh's the one wrecking his world
Saying somebody oughta do something about that girl
Yeah, somebody oughta do something about that girl
Somebody oughta do something about that girl
(Lucky Lawrence)
These darker skies
Know somehow where to find me
As far as I run
They're always right behind me
To take my hope away
With every passing day
I know from now on, my last chance is gone
I hear the voices
Saying have mercy
Behind your wicked smile
The truth lives in your eyes
This game, I cannot win
The victim once again
I know from now on, my last chance is gone
Helpless, I fall
Sweet poison pulls me under
Breath of your kiss
The magic and the wonder
It's useless to pretend
My sorrow knows no end
I know from now on, my last chance is gone
I know from now on, my last chance is gone
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
I watched him buy his ticket in Charlotte, North Carolina
I heard him say, "One way, please to Denver"
He's goin' to meet that other girl
Won't do us no good to cry
'Cause she's wearin' his ring on her finger
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
I watched him tip the porter
As he stepped aboard that midnight train
Bound to take him far away forever
I watched the tail light fade away
Knowin' he was gone to stay
I just wish this broken heart was with him
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
Little things you do lead me on
Weak in those knees
Till all my will is gone
And you don't want this heart
No, you go too far
The way you use your eyes mesmerizes me
With those lips and that kiss
I'm gonna be cast in your arms
Taken by your charms
And all your little things
I can't hold back, baby
Please, please, please, won't you save me?
With just one touch or I'll go crazy
Little things
I can't hold back, baby
Please, please, please, won't you save me?
With just one touch or I'll go crazy
Little things you do turn me on
Makes me feel like you're the one I want
Honey, there's no doubt
Don't wanna live without
All your little things
Honey, there's no doubt
Don't wanna live without
Standing on the westbound track with my hands in my pockets
The wind blows against my back pushing me down the line
Guess I've had enough of this empty feeling
Finally gonna leave all this pain behind
Haunted by a past of a love gone lonely
Bought a ticket, free at last, figure I'll take a ride
Around here I can't shake what seems to ail me
I'll be somewhere else, come morning light
Gonna take the last train to San Antone
Give my troubled mind somewhere to go
Want to get lost in that old city
A stranger there may have some pity
What's around the bend, I'll never know
If I'm not on that train to San Antone
Staring out across the night, I find hope through the darkness
I feel a rumble, see a light, it looks about a mile away
My anticipation of tomorrow
Keeps my heart from hanging on to yesterday
Gonna take the last train to San Antone
Give my troubled mind somewhere to go
Want to get lost in that old city
A stranger there may have some pity
What's around the bend, I'll never know
If I'm not on that train to San Antone
I feel a heartache comin' on
I feel a change in the wind
Your restless heart is almost gone
And I'll never see the likes of you again
God, I hate to think about lonely
How can I love someone new?
I loved being your one and only
And I just can't see me without you
I feel a heartache comin' on
I feel a change in the wind
Your restless heart is almost gone
And I'll never see the likes of you again
Once we had it all, but it's over
Now there's a new look in your eyes
Soon I'll be yesterday's lover
Just as soon as you tell me goodbye
I feel a heartache comin' on
I feel a change in the wind
Your restless heart is almost gone
And I'll never see the likes of you again
Your restless heart is almost gone
Chain gang, chain gang
Oh, turn me loose
Why don't you set me free
Of heartache and blues
Well, he's gone, he's gone
I can't stand the pain
Set me free, turn me loose
Chain gang, chain gang
Well, I'm G U I L T Y
Guilty of a heart that breaks
Darlin', I loved you, but you said goodbye
You left me shackled to an old heartache
Chain gang, chain gang
Oh, turn me loose
Why don't you set me free
Of heartache and blues
Well, he's gone, he's gone
I can't stand the pain
Set me free, turn me loose
Chain gang, chain gang
And all day in, and all day out
Darlin', I'm just doin' time
I'm sentenced to life without you
Baby, it's a doggone crime
Well, he's gone, he's gone
I can't stand the pain
Set me free, turn me loose
Chain gang, chain gang
Set me free, turn me loose
(M. Barnes/J. Browne/D. Jarvis)
I've been down a highway
A lonesome, two-lane highway
Driving hard all night
I've been thinking about you
The truth is ringing so true
The picture's clearer in the light
I've been running from a good thing
It's been right here in my hands
You know you can't build a better love
Than what we had
You can climb a mountain
Way up on a mountain
Till you hang along thin air
You can cross the river
But the other side, it ain't no greener
Once you're standing there
See, I've been running from a good thing
It's been right here in my hands
You know you can't build a better love
Than what we had
Babe, I took so much for granted
And I've had so many doubts
But I'm gonna hold on to this good thing, baby
'Cause we've build the kind of love no one can tear down
You know you can't build a better love
You just can't build a better love
No, you can't build a better love
Than what we had
Than what we had
You just can't
You just can't
I can't believe
You're telling me
You were with a friend
'Til morning again
If you think that I
Stayed home and cried
Darling you better think again
(Chorus)
'Cause I saw you dancing with your
So called friend
And I saw you holding her so tight
So I'm sure you won't mind
If I go and find
My own so called friend tonight
As the music played
I saw the way
She looked at you
And you wanted her to
'Cause you left the bar
And she got in your car
I can't believe that I was such a fool
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
So I'm sure you won't mind
If I go and find
Seems like with every step I take
It's in the wrong direction
And every little move I make
To try and get your attention
Turns out to be dead wrong
If I've been wasting my time all along
Tell me true
Am I damned if I do
I'm all grown up and can't believe
I'm acting like a kid
While my heart hangs out on my sleeve
You keep your feelings hid
I'm on the edge about to fall
Still you don't give me a sign at all
Tell me true
Am I damned if I do
I push you away
The harder I try
I get so scared you'll say goodbye
And I've never wanted a love this much
That's why I'm carrying on and such
All I really want to know
Is dear do you care for me
And if you do I need to hear it
Would you tell me please
Should I stay or should I go
Which way do I turn I don't know
Tell me true
Am I damned if I do
Should I stay or should I go
Which way do I turn I don't know
Tell me true
Am I damned if I do
Oh whoa tell me true
The way you touch it left me
Thirtin' for your love
The first was one too many
And a thousand wouldn't be enough
Where'd you come from baby
Now why'd you leave so soon
It feels just like the ghost of you
Still lingers in this room
(Chorus)
I can hear your whispers cry out loud
Echoes of the love you left
Were in hidden in that sound
And my soul has never known a longing like this
Haunted by that unfinished kiss
That old clock is ticking
Moonlight lonely time
Memories of you and me
Keep running through my mind
I know you'll come back baby
'Cause I felt in when you fell
Just knowing how your loving feels
I don't wait so well
(Repeat Chorus)
And my soul has never known a longing like this
Haunted by that unfinished kiss
(Chorus)
I know that it's real
Every time you hold me
Can't hide the way I feel
Waiting on you to show me
I'm hoping that you'll tell me where to start
Honey I can help you find your heart
When I'm alone I sit and wonder
How much you really care
I worry if I tell you that I love you
Will I get nothing but a stare
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm aware your hearts been broken
Loving before brought misery
A wall around your heart will keep you lonely
Take a chance on me and just believe
(Repeat Chorus)
Honey I can help you find your heart
Words of love roll off your tongue
So easily
They blind me to the point
I don't even see
All these nights you're somewhere else
I'm killing time all by myself
But I know you'll call
You always do
(Chorus)
Masquerade of a fool
Living a lie
Believing it's true
How long can I
Keep up this charade
Hiding behind
The masquerade of a fool
The way you say my name
Makes me forget
Promises you've made
But never met
Even though I know it's wrong
I'm still here hanging on
Hopelessly forever
In love with you
(Repeat Chorus)
How long can I
Keep up this charade
Hiding behind
The masquerade of a fool
Hiding behind
I live in the house of pain
It always seems to rain
The rooms are dark and plain
Now that he's gone
And no one ever calls
And I've climbed every wall
My life's a crying shame
Here in the house of pain
Flowers used to bloom on the windowsill
Bluebirds used to sing in the yard
When the sun went down
We had the lovingest home in town
That was all before you broke my heart
Now I live in the house of pain
It always seems to rain
The rooms are dark and plain
Now that he's gone
And no one ever calls
And I've climbed every wall
My life's a crying shame
Here in the house of pain
A broken girl, a broken home
Broken dreams are all I own
Empty words, empty sighs
Fill my empty rooms at night
I live in the house of pain
It always seems to rain
The rooms are dark and plain
Here in the house of pain
My life's a crying shame
(Malcolm Holcombe)
I've heard misfortune blossoms
And wasted ways before me by the cause
Of giving someone time enough for spending
Love only borrowed
I've placed myself at ease
Listening to the lies and self-belief
Of wanting something close enough for keeping
A far cry from here
But I believe in wasting years
To speaking of the deer who has been spared
Innocence so near
A far cry from here
Even still, the night's passing
Behind a heart, an emptiness still follows
The distance stands the swallow's heart from lending me
Love only borrowed
But I believe in wasting years
To speaking of the deer who has been spared
Innocence so near
A far cry from here
Some are sad of truly knowing
There's belonging in just longing for someone
My shoulder rests a road I only follow
Love only borrowed
But I believe in wasting years
To speaking of the deer who has been spared
Innocence so near
A far cry from here
A far cry from here
(Jim Lauderdale/John Scott Sherrill)
Let's take a rest
Your kisses take my breath
You are the best
It's never been like this
He used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
Tell you he'll never leave
He used to say that to me
It thrills you so
When he whispers soft and low
Please hold me tight
I need your love tonight
He used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
Tell you he'll never leave
He used to say that to me
I'm yours, he sighs
And he means it at the time
But someday, he'll go
If you're wonderin' how I know
He used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
Tell you he'll never leave
He used to say that to me
He used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
Tell you he'll never leave
He used to say that
He used to say that
He used to say that to me
Well, you wish that I would treat you
Like I did the times before and I would
But I don't feel that way anymore
There's no more flowers, there's no more spring
There's no more promises of golden wedding rings
I'd love to care enough to slam another door
And I would but I don't feel that way anymore
I don't want to write you letters
I don't want to write you songs
I don't want your damn forgiveness
When I go do something wrong
Well, I'd love to take my clothes off
And throw them on your floor
And I would but I don't feel that way anymore
I'd love to hold you when you come home tired from work
I feel guilty when I act just like a jerk
I'd love to talk to you and act like I'm not bored
And I would but I don't feel that way anymore
I don't want to write you letters
I don't want to write you songs
I don't want your damn forgiveness
When I go do something wrong
Well, you know I'd love to care enough
To slam another door and I would
But I don't feel that way anymore
I don't want to write you letters
I don't want to write you songs
I don't want your damn forgiveness
When I go do something wrong
Yeah, you know I'd love to talk to you
And act like I'm not bored and I would
But I don't feel that way anymore
Yesterday, I still believe in love
And everything I was dreaming of
Suddenly, when you told me goodbye
I had a thousand tears to cry that didn't ease the pain
One long night, cold and dark, along them
Broken hearted, your memories standing in the way
It feels like it's killing me but even on my knees
I'm crawling out of yesterday
There's nothing left to say and all
That I can change is hurting over you
One long night, cold and dark, along them
Broken hearted, your memories standing in the way
It feels like it's killing me but even on my knees
I'm crawling out of yesterday
Got to find a way to carry on, even though a love
That's gone keeps hanging on so strong
Yesterday, all that I can change is hurting over you
One long night cold and dark, along them
Broken hearted, your memories standing in the way
It feels like its killing me but even on my knees
I'm crawling out of
One long night, cold and dark, along them
Broken hearted, your memories standing in the way
It feels like it's killing me but even on my knees
(Monte Warden/Danni Leigh)
Teardrops, teardrops
Can't catch you, if you fall
Can't erase the memory
Of a love that's gone wrong
Can't chase away the misery
When it comes to call
Teardrops, teardrops
Do me no good at all
Nothin's lonelier than lonesome
Ain't nothin' good with goodbye
I just want the hurtin' to be over
But what's the use to sit and cry
Teardrops, teardrops
Can't catch you, if you fall
Can't erase the memory
Of a love that's gone wrong
Can't chase away the misery
When it comes to call
Teardrops, teardrops
Do me no good at all
Teardrops, teardrops
Can't catch you, if you fall
Can't erase the memory
Of a love that's gone wrong
Can't chase away the misery
When it comes to call
Teardrops, teardrops
Do me no good at all
Teardrops, teardrops
Sometimes in the middle of the day
When the sun is high in the sky
It can be a hundred degrees
And a shiver of lonesome runs through me
And sometimes in the dark of the night
Covered up, safe and warm
I can be fast asleep
And a shiver of lonesome runs through me
Don't know why every time you cross my mind
I can feel that old chill run down my spine
I can know that I'm over you
I can be so sure of myself
Feel so free, then just one memory
And a shiver of lonesome runs through me
Don't know why every time you cross my mind
I can feel that old chill run down my spine
I can know that I'm over you
I can be so sure of myself
Feel so free, then just one memory
And a shiver of lonesome runs through me
Feel so free, then just one memory
Ol' Lonesome ain't so lonesome anymore
Kicked ol' heartache, tears and trouble 'cross the floor
Phones are ringin', lovebirds singin'
Guys are beatin' down the door
Ol' Lonesome ain't so lonesome anymore
Oh yeah, you knocked me to my knees
But that was strictly temporarily
While you and your friends were talkin'
I overheard you jokin'
Callin' me Ol' Lonesome
Well now, I ain't missin' no one
Ol' Lonesome ain't so lonesome anymore
Kicked ol' heartache, tears and trouble 'cross the floor
Phones are ringin', lovebirds singin',
Guys are beatin' down the door
Ol' Lonesome ain't so lonesome anymore
I guess you thought you'd see me
Out of control completely
Teardrops streamin'
Boy, were you dreamin'?
Ol' Lonesome ain't so lonesome anymore
Kicked ol' heartache, tears and trouble 'cross the floor
Phones are ringin', lovebirds singin'
Guys are beatin' down the door
Ol' Lonesome ain't so lonesome anymore
Oh, cruel heart, how could you lead me on
Then tear my whole world right in two
I thought you were my friend
Then you let me down
Oh, cruel heart, you scared him off
You loved too much and now he's gone
What'd I ever do to you
Cruel heart
All I ever wanted was the best for you
And you showed such good intentions from the start
Now, here we are, the two of us left lonely
'Cause you fell too fast and overplayed your heart
Cruel heart, you lead me on
You tear my whole world right in two
I thought you were my friend
Then you let me down
Oh, cruel heart, you scared him off
You loved too much and now he's gone
What'd I ever do to you
Cruel heart
I'll bet he didn't know what he was in for
When you came right out of nowhere from the dark
You didn't listen to what he was feelin'
Now all this hurt is bound to leave a mark
Cruel heart, you lead me on
You tear my whole world right in two
I thought you were my friend
Then you let me down
Oh, cruel heart, you scared him off
You loved too much and now he's gone
What'd I ever do to you to make me so doggone blue
What'd I ever do to you
Cruel heart
Is that you?
Looks like you changed your ways again
Is that you now?
It's funny how I can't remember
I knew you better than that
At least I thought I knew you than
What I know now
It's not always a happy ending
But hey
Here comes that rainy day again
And hey look at me
Don't feel like crying
And hey, hey
Here comes that rainy day again
But hey look at me
I don't feel like crying
Who said love is a game?
And who said love can be gambled
Gambled away?
Is this me now?
Looks like I changed my ways again
Is this me now?
Funny how you can't remember
You knew me better than that
At least you thought you knew me then
What you know now
It's not always a happy ending
But hey
Here comes that rainy day again
And hey, look at me
Don't feel like crying no more
And hey, hey
Here comes that rainy day again
But hey, look at me
I don't feel like crying no more
Look at me, look at me
Look at me, look at me
Look at me, look at me
A thousand miles
A month of emptiness
A million tears have been dried
I recall the look in your eyes
When I told you goodbye
You said darlin', you're makin' a big mistake
And you'll never see it through
It's been 30 long days, 29 nights
And I'm still over you
The pain of doubt
The fear of loneliness
They're behind me now
And memories that used to torture me
They don't bring me down
Never let myself completely fall apart
Like you said I'd do
But it's been 30 long days, 29 nights
And I'm still over you
Over you
I'm over you
Still over you
Over you
You said darlin', you're makin' a big mistake
And you'll never, no, you'll never see it through
But it's been 30 long days, 29 nights
And I'm still over you
But it's been 30 long days, 29 nights
And I'm still over you
Over you
I'm over you
Still over you
Ooh yeah
I wanted love so bad
I gave it all I had
It made me feel so good
I gave it all I could
But now the love is gone
I just ride the storm
Oh, the things I do
Trying to get over you
Trying to get over you, yeah
Travel around to who knows where
In every crowd, I see you there
I hear your voice in all the towns
It breaks my heart with just the sound
And now the love is gone
I'll just ride the storm
Oh, the things I do
Trying to get over you
Just trying to get over you, yeah
There's so many ways to hide
Things that hurt us deep inside
Yeah, I'll get by just fine
But you're still in these dreams of mine
And now the love is gone
I'll just ride the storm
Oh, the things I do
Trying to get over you
Touch me, touch the hand of a girl
Who once owned all the world
Touch me, touch the arms that once held
All the charms of the world's sweetest man
Touch me, maybe someday you may need to know
How it feels when you lose
Touch me, you'll know how you'd feel with the blues
Watch me, watch the eyes that have seen
All the heartache and pain in the land
And be thankful you're happy though standing so close
To the world's bluest girl
Don't forget me, take a good look at someone
Who's lost everything she could lose
Touch me, you'll know how you'd feel with the blues
Watch me, watch the eyes that have seen
All the heartache and pain in the land
And be thankful you're happy though standing so close
To the world's bluest girl
Don't forget me, take a good look at someone
Who's lost everything she could lose
Normally I go through each day like everything is fine
Till they ask if I still love you, I said no
It's been a whole week now since I told myself that same old lie
Sometimes it hits me so hard, I wanna lay down and cry
Sometimes there's nothing to do but think of you
Sometimes it drives me right out of my mind
I'm almost to the point of finding that it's no use
I always want to see you sometimes
Usually I try to sleep at night like I never cared
But I'm always waking up and looking around
At the empty room that's telling me you're still really gone
Well, I don't need a bad dream telling me what's wrong
Sometimes there's nothing to do but think of you
Sometimes it drives me right out of my mind
I'm almost to the point of finding that it's no use
I always want to see you sometimes
Sometimes there's nothing to do but think of you
Sometimes it drives me right out of my mind
I'm almost to the point of finding that it's no use
I always want to see you sometimes
Sometimes there's nothing to do but think of you
Sometimes it drives me right out of my mind
I'm almost to the point of finding that it's no use
Longnecks, cigarettes
It's always the same
Late nights, bright lights
Trying to ease the pain
You went away
What can I say?
I'm havin' more than a few longnecks, cigarettes
And memories of you
[Unverified] when you held me so tight
I don't know why I couldn't see
I only wish I had a chance to make it right
And baby, you'd come back to me
Longnecks, cigarettes
It's always the same
Late nights, bright lights
Trying to ease the pain
You went away
What can I say?
I'm havin' more than a few longnecks, cigarettes
And memories of you
I've never acted so foolishly before
I'm always the one to draw the line
But my heart is sayin' go ahead and have one more
Next thing I know, it's closin' time
Longnecks, cigarettes
It's always the same
Late nights, bright lights
Trying to ease the pain
You went away
What can I say?
I'm havin' more than a few longnecks, cigarettes
And memories of you
Longnecks, cigarettes
(Chorus)
Shame on me
For making believe
You'd always need me
And never leave
I should have known
Your history
You could never stay true
Shame on me
From the sweet words that you told me
You made my heart come all undone
Tell me lee those lies would haunt me
I thought you were the one
(Repeat Chorus)
I heard the rumors spread about you
The careless way that you would love
Without a cause I couldn't doubt you
I didn't listen close enough
(Repeat Chorus)
You could never stay true
Scream to the driveway
Run in slam the door
Trying to get away from
What I just can't take no more
I don't wanna hurt myself
I'm scared that it's too much
And I'm afraid that I'm wrecklessly falling in love
(Chorus)
Day by day
I'm going out of my mind
Oh I get a little crazy
Ooh each and every time
That you kiss me oh so gently
And you hold me in your arms
This feelings almost painful
As it's pounding at my heart
I love you more
Day by day
Could it be I'm dreaming
About a love so true
When I close my eyes at night
All I see is you
And I keep hearing voices
Whispers in the wind
Telling me to stop off of the edge
And just give in
(Repeat Chorus)
Finally I can touch
My sweet forever
(Repeat Chorus)
Day by day
(Chorus)
I'm a quarter over you
And I'm halfway down this bottle
Three quarters left for the jukebox
It's my last time to crawl
One more night of living
With the memory of your leaving
These heartbroke crying songs
Help my last teardrop fall
My whiskey ways
To shake these blues
I've been on this old barstool
A time or two
'Cause I went back
To play your fool
This time I'm one two-step away
From over you
(Repeat Chorus)
And I still feel
The pain inside
But it'll be gone
When my last tears cried
So when the hurtings done
I'll dry my eyes
And I'll leave here with my heart
At closing time
(Repeat Chorus)
These old heartbroke crying songs
I can't believe this
You just walked out
You gave no good reason
Left my mind spinning round
Why did you say
You were so satisfied
If you knew
Someday you'd just leave
(Chorus)
Was it worth it to you
To tell me your lies
And tear my poor heart it two
Was it easy for you
To see me break down and cry
Tell me was it worth it to you
For two years
I gave you
All that I had
Anything you wante
No questions asked
I sacrificed
All of my pride
With nothing in return from you
Still you made me believe
Someday you'd change
But the truth is
I was your fool
(Repeat Chorus)
Was it easy for you
To see me break down and cry
Tell me was it worth it to you
You promised me forever
When I met you
You swore to me
You'd always be true
I must've been mistaken
Or you lied
I thought forever was a long, long time
I thought forever meant
You'd never leave
So now I'm uh
Sitting here alone
Happy ever after must be make believe
That fairytale ended long ago
I must've been mistaken
Or you lied
I thought forever was a long, long time
I thought forever meant
You'd never leave
So now I'm uh
Sitting here alone
Happy ever after must be make believe
That fairytale ended long ago
I must've been mistaken
Or you lied
I thought forever was a long, long time
I must've been mistaken
Or you lied
Farther leads to you
Sink and whine
Livid cries
I'm still in line
Loose me
I cling to this
I know it's on you
It's around
This time I will be calm
See it in time
As far as I know
You will be with me
There is no color here
I'll wait one more minute for you
I suppose I might leave cause I can see
Cause I can see him
I see my killer
My shadow has disapeared
So has my ghost
I'm still waiting
I'll get you before you get me
So many people aren't here
But I know I was meant for you
Done the last real life
Beside it's hard to see
The dotted line leaves space for you
To jump on the next ride
If luck runs out
Blame this interception
Forget that it could do harm
Unless it's blown out of the water
I know how to help this one out
So here comes your turn
Now I'm feeling something tonight
What is the next concern
Too perfect, it's a possible return
Open up
I once was sleeping
All remains are in safe keeping
Looks like everybody knows
I want to learn the secret my way
It's right behind me
So softly
Centered in a field
Hold to kill
I'm in the same rotation
Waiting on a clear reason
Why this is the wrong way out
It's right behind me
So softly
Lock down inside
More of you buys my time
I can go with the thought
Everlasting sore at some
Not a joke not for long
Take a breath, persistence can wrong
Stop slow, I could go on and on x2
Cause i've done well or second guess myself
Take a spot here among those who taste
Everything they want
Pockets full onto you
Break us off a piece to take home
Stop slow, i could go on and on x2
Cause i've done well or second guess myself
No Sleep, Real Heat
How can this be a good thing?
Seconds, Hours
Far from truth
Stop slow, i could go on and on x2
Left alone
To hang on your last words
Taken out slowly
Those eyes feeding
Love don't you feel the beating
Left alone
To hate the last ten seconds
Ever needed someone whole
Say it before I'm done
Can't you say it
Before I think of the next time
A fatal incision cuts apart
Inject the living, don't you breath too hard
No lines to rehearse, no spell, no curse
It's all or nothing to take til tomorrow
Before you take it in under your heavy hand
Before you get pinned for nothing
A light goes farther away, go away
Take this body to study and know it's name
A timeless face will haunt you
Don't you worry it's just for a lifetime
Before you take it in under your heavy hand
Bofore you get pinned for nothing
