Been A While

I've been staying up all night thinking about you
Do you lie awake thinking of me too
Can you put your pain and hate and disdain aside
Just for tonight
So what can I say so you won't stray
So what can I say that will make the distance fade
Will you put your pain and hate and disdain aside
Just for tonight
So we can have some fun tonight
Cuz it's been a while
Since we sat and we talked
When we really opened up
Shared all our dreams
Honey you know that it's really been a while
So when did the emptiness start
So when did you finally have a change of heart
Can you put your pain and hate and disdain aside
Just one more time
Your pale eyes never look the same
Your timid smile has seen much better days
We'll close our eyes we'll drift away
Just for tonight
So we can have some fun one last time
Cuz it's been a while
Since we sat and we talked
When we really opened up
Shared all our dreams
Honey you know that it's really been a while
I miss those wild nights
I miss those romantic nights
Let's have a good time
If only for tonight
Because it's been a while
Since we sat and we talked
When we really opened up
We shared all our dreams
Honey you know that it's really been a while
(It's been a while)
Honey you know it's really been a while
Honey you know that I missed you all the while

Song For Lovers
03:16

I've been walking along these darkened streets
Trying to find a better way
It gets cold in the middle of the night
And everybody knows your not alone
You can see it on my face
All this heartbreaking misery
If your heart lies with someone else
Please don't drag this out for me
Please don't drag this out for me
Little girl I wrote this song for lovers
Who are in love with someone other
Who've been making the best of their bad hands
That's been dealt right out to them
When you hear this song turn it up
I know you're happier with someone else
You won't be crawling back to me this time
I had a dream last night we made it right
We set out on a brand new start
But as time went on we gotten bored
We ended up giving up
Wedding bells no longer ring
It's just another divorce tragedy
We're both bitter and bold but we're both to old
To keep up with this charade
Let's stop playing this charade
Little girl I wrote this song for lovers
Who are in love with someone other
Who've been making the best of their bad hands
That's been dealt right out to them
When you hear this song turn it up
I know you're happier with someone else
You won't be coming back to me this time
You once had cold feet for me
No I'm out here in the cold
But I can't find the strength
To let these feelings go
You've made the right kind of moves
on the wrong kind of men
And I don't understand
Yes I don't understand
Why you left me
Will you listen to me please
Don't go

Old Sad Songs
03:48
|
|||
It's early in the morning you're alone in your house
Listening to your favorite songs still trying to figure out
Exactly how your fragile heart shattered on the ground
You've been crying selfish tears now
It's later in the morning I'm alone in this house
Listening to The Horrible Crowes I turn them up real loud
I grab a drink and I'm wondering exactly why you left
And I wonder if I'll see your face again
The words and chords will always change
but they share a constant theme
There's something about just writing down
All this agony and pain
Well the words and chords will always change
The songs remain the same
There's something about just singing these songs for me
It's early in the afternoon
And I'm off to leave this house
Going down to the liquor store
To drown these sorrows out
I'm listening to the old sad songs
The high and lonesome sound
And I wish that you with me right now
The words and chords will always change
but they share a constant theme
There's something about just writing down
All this agony and pain
Well the words and chords will always change
The songs remain the same
There's something about just singing these songs for me
Take a long hard look tonight
Empty bottle of sleeping tablets by the bedside
With all the unsent letters aging like a fine red wine
With I'm sorry and I miss you all the time
The words and chords will always change
but they share a constant theme
There's something about just writing down
All this agony and pain
Well the words and chords will always change
The songs remain the same
There's something about just singing these songs for me
There's something about just singing these songs for me
There's something about just singing these old sad songs

Yesterday
04:37
|
|||
The dust is building up
(Dust is building up)
And your '72 Pinto has rusted
This house is full of memories
And the closet is just how you left it
I can't bring myself to pack it up
It will serve to remind me of our time
The old porch light is busted (It's busted)
And the deck boards are wearing thin
The worn pipes their leaking
And this basement is flooded
As the paint recedes like our hopes and dreams
The cuts and stitches, your words they stay with me
If I can go back now
And say all the things I wanted to say
Would it be all different now
If I poured my heart out
If I go back to yesterday
Our foundation fell in a sinkhole
(What will we do)
With the ghosts of our old home
If I can find the strength and the will
To stop medicating once and for all
I'd ignite this past and let the ashes fall
If I can go back now
And say all the things I wanted to say
Would it be all different now
If I poured my heart out
If I go back to yesterday
If I can go back now
And say all the things I wanted to say
Would it be all different now
If I poured my heart out
If I go back to yesterday
With a can of Kerosene
And a Machiavellian dream
I'd light the fuse
and let it all burn away

The Denial
04:03
|
|||
The days are getting shorter
And I'm staring at the phone
It's been days since we have spoken
And the days turned into years
The fact of the matter
Well both our lives are shattered
I don't think it's over
But you made your decision
I hope you're happy with them
Well I'm here grieving
I know I'm better than this
I know I'm better than nothing
But that's the way you make me feel
And I'm over with this hurting
I don't think it's over
But I made my decision
I'm gonna get my shit together
And I'll set myself up straight
'Cause I'm doing fine
I'm doing alright
I'm numb to your pain
Hell I'm numb, numb to your games
Well the days are getting better
And I've taken the first steps
I've moved on from denial
I've moved on from denial
And I'm doing better without you
And I'm doing better without you
