His Front Porch

It's taking the rain real slow
To wash away all the things I didn't want to know
I prayed into a bottle again
Broken like the pieces you left until the end
I wake to reach for your taste
But nothing ever seems to let me let go
No...

I cried into dreams too many times
I swear I won't give you my all
I won't let you have what isn't left of me
My eyes won't let you see it at all
I cannot be fallen
I'll always be the girl on your front porch

The nights and lines are one
Blurring down the road reaching for the sun
I threw my heart away
Ain't much left of it since you left anyways

I cried into dreams too many times
I swear I won't give you my all
I won't let you see what isn't left of me
My eyes won't let you see in at all
I cannot be fallen
I'll always be the girl on his front porch

And please, light the match
Bring me your lighter, bring me back

I cried into dreams too many times
I swear I won't give you my all
I won't let you have what isn't left of me
My eyes won't let you in at all
I cannot be fallen
I'll always be the girl on his front porch

Cracks in the Ceiling

Watching the cracks in the ceiling
I swear they're coming down on me
That ceiling fan's wobblin' and weavin'
And I'm trying to remember how to breathe

I feel like I ought to be praying
Apologizing to God on my knees
No, I can't sleep and you're making weak
Watching the cracks in the ceiling

I'm a sinner, I swear, it's me
I wish I could run from it all
But the past will always bury me
And I can't recover from the fall

So here, right now, hear me
I'm sorry, I'm begging
Just give me one damn chance

I want to be something more than the woman
Who lost herself in three years flat
I'm buried, not beaten, and I'm gonna keep digging
Myself out of the grave I've made

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I am

So leave me here, waiting and watching
I need to get out of the way
The cracks in the ceiling, they're coming for me
I can't remember if I'm breathing

The cracks in the ceiling, they're coming for me
And I can't remember if I'm breathing
But I know, I know, I'm kneeling.

Walk Away

I've gotta say I'm sorry for doing you wrong
You were right all along
Maybe I shouldn't' be here now
Maybe I should walk away now

I can't help but breathe you in
You're like the air, I swear
You've always been there
Maybe I shouldn't be here now
Maybe I should walk away now

But I can't stop, I can't stay
I can't do this, but I can't walk away
I'm so entrapped, I'm breathing rain
You're the one who kept me watching planes
I'm screaming country songs
And I know what Momma would say
But I swear I swear I swear I can't walk away

I didn't forget what those looks mean
I swear you can read me
Maybe I shouldn't be here now
Maybe I should walk away now

I can't help but give you everything I have
Its only natural to breathe
And as you can see, I'm losing me
Maybe I shouldn't be here now
Maybe I should look away now

But I can't stop, I can't stay
I can't do this, but I can't walk away
I'm so entrapped, I'm breathing rain
You're the one who kept me watching planes
I'm screaming country songs
And I know what Daddy would say
But I swear I swear I swear I can't walk away

Prove Me Wrong

Like a wave crash
It keeps coming back
The undertow is nothing I've ever seen before

And will I break my knees
Trying to crawl free?
I just want to be someone's only one

And I swear she was right when she said, "Girl, you'll never be the same again,"
And I swear to God I was right when I said I'd never fall again
And I'm praying please
I'm praying please
Prove me wrong.

My begging eyes
My stubborn pride
Nothing is winning but I'm losing now

I'm running away
But begging you to stay
Won't you please just chase me down?'

And I swear to God mom was right when she said I need to quit giving more
And I swear to God I was right when I said I would walk right out your door
And I'm praying please
I'm praying please
Prove me wrong.

Skinned Knees

I never meant to drag you down with me
I never meant to paint you in my past
But I can't help but hold on to all these damn bruises
I can't help but keep these faded pictures in my head

I can't even damn learn how to heal
So how can I be mad at old letters?
She may of loved you, you may have not
But it's okay, I've forgot
How to forget all they ever did
Which wasn't much but leave me in tears

I should of told you a long time ago
But we both swore to keep the past the past
And here I am digging up yours
Looking for an excuse
To stop loving you and shoot myself out of here

You tell me to stop worrying
I tell you it's all your damn fault
But it isn't you and it's all me and I can't help but not breathe
At the thought this really is all my fault
I suppose this really is my fault

He's still swinging in my head
Causing the mess I'm asking you to clean up
Don't take it all too personally
I'm only losing me and it ain't got a damn thing to do with you
I'm lost in everything I thought I knew

I want to just learn to love
Without begging for your help
I want to want you, not need you so bad
I suppose I've learned from my skinned knees
That people like to push on me
And I suppose you would do the same

Guess I'm the only one here to blame
Yes, I'm the only one who's here to blame
