Been A While 04:21

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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
