Sleep

Folded quilts
On your old couch
Broken in
From years of use
Brown paisley print
And dark, chipped wood
Holds us together
Like ink in a pen

We press the buttons
Just to undo
The ones down your chest
Holding in your skin
Your hand is rough
But feels good
Like those heavy quilts
Pressed to my back

The weight feels fine
Makes me feel home
Your lights are dim
Your TV's on
I look good in the glow
You say with a smile
Your eyes keep with mine
Drawing lines into your temples

You push my hair
And pull my arms
Wrap them across my chest
You curl me in them
Your chin kisses my shoulder
Like a shadow on the wall
Wood planks just line
The room I love

Just kiss me one more time so slow, so slow
I don't want to go home just yet
Just pretend we'll stay awake a few more minutes
I'll lie, say I didn't mean to sleep in your bed

Let's just sleep in this southern state.

You Were Never My Fairy Tale

I listened to
The old cd
I stole from your car
One of our last nights
I took my things
From your old apartment
Left my ring
Beside your bed

I suppose a breakup is exactly that
Leaves you broken, trying to fix the pieces
I suppose some experiments are meant to fail
You were never my fairy tale.

Just take back the movies
From the five dollar bin
I took your t-shirts
And gave them away
That note is hidden
Somewhere between pages
In boxes I packed
When I moved into my parents'

I suppose a breakup is exactly that
Leaves you broken, trying to fix the pieces
I suppose some experiments were meant to fail
You were never my fairy tale.

And my boyfriend asks me who you were
Sometimes I feel his worry
He'll ask why I wrote this
I just know we were never some sort of love story.

I suppose a breakup is exactly that
Leaves you broken, trying to fix the pieces
I suppose some experiments were meant to fail
You were never my fairy tale.

Old Papers

I just found all these old papers
Shoved under my night-table
Folded up in piles with ragged ends
I tried to read them
Wonder where they would end
Guess sometimes we become
Something we never saw coming
I see it in his eyes
My past just breaks his heart
I try to hold it in
Maybe I can just become something better
But on top of all these diamonds
Theres a pile of dirt
I just dug my way
Out of the hole college left me in
It was my emerald city
And I'm not ashamed anymore
I guess I hurt some people alot
I guess I did some stuff wrong
Those pictures sanded me down
To something a bit shiny now
I hide them all in boxes
But sometimes they make me proud
I listened to my old cds today
"C'mon take a step towards me,
so you can figure me out,"
Those words echo some in me now
I just want to hold on
I want to be better, stronger, so new
But I don't want to let go
Of the girl on the bottom bunk of my dorm
She still looks beautiful to me now
I don't care what all these smalltown girls
Did to your heart while I was gone
I know I never had the best record
But I'm new now, so damn brand new
I just miss my old roommate's voice sometimes
And the way a hookah's smoke tasted on my tongue
I just miss the Arch, beckoning me
Like a light from God
I know it sounds silly
Holding on to the broken promises of a Classic City
But all my broken hearts
Made me better today
If you'll be my star
I'll be your sky
I promise, I won't let you feel empty anymore
You won't be dark with me
I found all these old papers
Words in aged ink
I don't know what they mean anymore
I don't know how they sing

So Old.

You can't tell me
You were my best friend
You can't promise
You meant to be a happy end
What would happen
If you had won it all?
I was just a prize to you, a game to you, and I took the fal

It was an everyday broken thing
Like a damn toy, you'd make me move, you'd pull my string
You swore you were better for me than him
Prince Charming doesn't chame in a dark snake skin

Even when he was gone you couldn't ruin my life

You were dark
You sang me songs
He didn't know
He didn't need to know
You were a secret
Laid in bed sheets
Left to go cold
I went cold
You swore 'I need you"
I don't need you
Just let me go
He couldn't be here
This isn't your place
Just go home

I wish I could of said goodbye
Just take this mistake all away
I hope I can forgive myself
For all the pain I let you make

But I will not forgive you
I can't forget
You turned my life into a lie
When you see me smile
From far away
Know it's from another guy

Random Pieces

I'll be your Northstar
Just to fall in your arms
Too many wristbands on my hands
Footprints on your windshield
You scream this is my part
Every part is your part
You were my yellow bird
Bare feet
Cigarette smokes taste of you

White Lies

The truth hurts, it burns, it stings
It cuts you deep with my true meanings
I act, make mistakes; I don't want you to hear
I hide in white lies until the truth comes clear

Sometimes I just want to break
Just break from me
Just take some time
Listenin' to those old records sing
Just take your words
You know you're only full of lies
Just take the door
I don't need you anymore

Just building my wall
While we're pouring down beers in the parking lot
Remember our old cds
You described one as "hot"
And you bore her birds on your skin
I just don't know why
You had to let her in
And had to let me cry

The truth, it hurts, it burns, it stings
It cuts you deep with your true meanings
I act, make mistakes; I don't want you to hear
I hide in white lies until the truth comes clear

Good Ol' Boy

You ain't never held a handfull of red clay
But you sing about it anyways
A true country boy is hard to find
& your backwoods ways are only in your mind

And I don't need a man with a mouthful of dip
I just need a man without a mouthful of lies
Those damn good ol' boys
Don't buy jeans with holes already in the sides

I just want a real man
One who can hold his own
Take care of me
Gets home before dawn
I just want a real man
Not one underemployed
More than they sing in Nashville
More than just a good ol' boy

You don't know what a woman needs
You just keep your head in the weeds
Singing with a guitar 'bout good times past
Honestly, what do you know about Cash?
Or Waylon? or Jackson? or Strait?
Or anything about this Georgia state?

And I don't need a man with a Skoal ring
I just need a man without a mouthful of shit
Those damn good ol' boys
Don't buy the songs Kenny Chesney sings

I just want a real man
One who can hold his own
Take care of me
Gets home before dawn
I just want a real man
Not one underemployed
More than they sing in Nashville
More than just a good ol' boy

Sing to Me

I wanted to write a song you could sing
Just sing to me
And when I write it just screams "I'm about me"
Just sing to me
So I stopped & went slow, knowing where your voice may go
Just sing to me
You'd play those strings & say just so sad,
Just sing to me

And I
May not know
A damn thing
But I
Just want here you say my name
And maybe
Your voice could bring my world some voice
So baby
Just sing to me
C'mon, just sing to me

You brought my promises to my knees
C'mon, sing for me
You sang the loves of my life
C'mon, sing for me
You took me down to my damn knees
C'mon, sing for me
So baby, just lend me your voice
C'mon, sing for me

And I
May not know
A damn thing
But I
Just want here you say my name
And maybe
Your voice could bring my world some voice
So baby
Just sing to me
C'mon, just sing to me

But I just broke down all my walls
With your microphone
Took it hard against my words
& hoped you'd sing along
And maybe this ain't broken hearts
But I wanna scream your name
Just take your open heart
C'mon, just sing for me

And I
May not know
A damn thing
But I
Just want here you say my name
And maybe
Your voice could bring my world some voice
So baby
Just sing to me
C'mon, just sing to me

I Hope You Know (Best Friend)

Sometimes I miss college
Those old bar floors stucking against
Our ankle boots with zippers
The crowded girls' room
Of the bar your boyfriend tended
Upstairs on New Years' Eve

And sometimes I miss the Sunday morning drive-thru fast food
And sometimes I miss elbows pressed against our bathroom mirrors

You're still here every day, even when you're hours away
I hope you know
I hope you know

Sometimes I think of
The blue old couch our old stoned friends
Would lose themselves in
The busted out railing
On our back porch
We'd let the drunks climb in

And sometimes I miss falling down on downtown benches at 4am
And sometimes I miss the smokey basement of the bar we'd pass out at

You're still here every day, even when you're hours away
I hope you know
I hope you know

The one best friend without shared blood, but family stil the same
You had my back, my booze, my hand, on every drunken night
In that crowd, I had your side, something like a family
I hope you know
I Hope you know
I always miss you
I hope you know
I hope you know
I still miss you <3

Run On

I broke your keychain
While you're pickin' on guitar strings
On the one possession
That possesses my dreams
Just like an old mountain song
You bring me back in waves
Lord knows we won't move on
Just forward in this Georgia state

Who won the game?
Who broke whose heart?
These small town ties
Just fray apart

So run with me
Make this world our own
Burn those high school love letters
Let's run on
So run with me
Make our own life our home
Burn the teenage mixtape
Let's run on

She broke your heart
And I don't give a damn
It's just an ex
On a map burnin' in the sand
Your arms bend around me
So I can't help but fall again
Play me sad indie songs
I'll write words to them

Who won the game?
Who broke whose heart?
These small town ties
Just fray apart

So run with me
Make this world our own
Burn those high school love letters
Let's run on
So run with me
Make our own life our home
Burn the teenage mixtape
Let's run on

These small town ties
Just fray apart
These small town ties
Just fray apart

Sing

Keep pushing it out
Keep forcing the words
Just trying to make myself sing
Just pushing it out
Just forcing the verbs
The adjectives to make me bring
This life to noise
This world to song
Anything to make me breathe
Keep pushing it out
Keep forcing the words
To make me sing

He strums a guitar
He plays me a song
He made the words up
In an old notebook
I stole his pen
Wrote myself for him
Tried to make a sound
But it doesn't speak

So when does this moment become something permanant?
How do I make your eyes, your face, something they can understand?

Keep pushing it out
Keep forcing the words
Just trying to make myself sing
Just pushing it out
Just forcing the verbs
The adjectives to make me bring
This life to noise
This world to song
Anything to make me breathe
Keep pushing it out
Keep forcing the words
To make me sing

I broke his keychain
But he keeps playing
He stops to ask me
"Is this too sad?"
His mom drinks her wine
Taps her foot to the time
Loves the way his voice
Bends those strings

And I'm the lucky one who gets to love him 'til I die
Write a sad song for me, make this moment a crime

Keep pushing it out
Keep forcing the words
Just trying to make myself sing
Just pushing it out
Just forcing the verbs
The adjectives to make me bring
This life to noise
This world to song
Anything to make me breathe
Keep pushing it out
Keep forcing the words
To make me sing

Ribbon as a Ring

You tied a ribbon on my finger
Made me all yours
The red satin wrapped around me
Lets me know where I belong
I might be a mess some days
In a hoodie just too big
But you love me anyways
With a ribbon as a ring

I hid under your covers and they fall like rain on me
You're blowing air like tents and I just can't see
My life by anyone else's side, yes, you're all mine & I'll be
Your only girl, I'll tell the world, this fits perfectly

You tied a ribbon on my finger
Made me all yours
The red satin wrapped around me
Lets me know where I belong
I might be a mess some days
In a hoodie just too big
But you love me anyways
With a ribbon as a ring

Move Me Again

I suppose I might write too fast
Take a second, jot some words
Let the ink take the past
Sometimes time moves too slow
Then I wake up and it's November
Where'd those college times go?

Can't memories just shut their mouths
Can't broken lines just mend again
Tell me where you are in your mind
Just one more time
Be my best friend
He'll move me on again

I suppose sometimes we break hearts
But he's moved on and I will too
In this car that just won't start
Felt summer move under my feet
Just like sands of time, passing through
Parked hiding on your street

Can't the present be loved for what it is
Can't our broken hearts just mend again
Tell me where you are in your mind
Just one more time
Be my best friend
And we'll move me again

And dark whiskey flows under autumn moons
And cold glasses shake our hands
Just hold me tight, here comes this adult life

Can't the present just be loved for what it is
Can't our broken hearts just mend again
Tell me where you are in my mind
Just one more time
Be my best friend
And you'll move me again

Abandon

In this darkness
Of our farthest moment
I can't breathe
Past these broken hearts
Try to heal me
Try to hold me if you can
Say you need me
Say this doesn't have to end

And when you have no hope in you
You're losing faith in us
And when you say we're almost through
I'm giving up on love
And when your promises all break
You better find a way
This sinking ship, can it be saved?
You're abandoning me

It's cold tonight
Winters moving in
We're broken hands to shake
Books piled in the den
A fire running wild
Change this course of fate
A sad old country song
Whining out of this old tape

And when you have no hope in you
You're losing faith in us
And when you say we're almost through
I'm giving up on love
And when your promises all break
You better find a way
This sinking ship, can it be saved?
You're abandoning me

Please don't leave me

The right thing's always the hardest
Find yourself a way
You need to move on
Move on!
Make a stand for you & me

I fell asleep
On your shoulder last night
I guess I don't need you
But I want you to make it alright

And when you have no hope in you
You're losing faith in us
And when you say we're almost through
I'm giving up on love
And when your promises all break
You better find a way
This sinking ship, can it be saved?
You're abandoning me

Lead You Home

I've got your ring
And a moonlit glow
I've got the steering wheel
And miles to go
All these curves
You know, I can't take them slow
But we've got nowhere to go

You've got my hand
And a heart on your sleeve
You change the radio
Like you changed everythin' in me
Every fingertip
You know, it's all that I need
When I don't know who to be

So in this fall faded night
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me I'm the red & yellow leaves
In all these autumn trees
So in this fog and this wind
Tell me we'll never end
Tell me I'm the moon on road
That leads you back home
Tell me I'll lead you home

These Georgia woods
Have pines for days
We could get lost in the dark
We could make our own maze
In Southern aisles
We could try to find our way
But I'd rather just stay

And in this fall faded night
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me I'm the red & yellow leaves
In all these autumn trees
So in this fog and this wind
Tell me we'll never end
Tell me I'm the moon on road
That leads you back home
Tell me I'll lead you home

Remember

I remember
The way things used to be
But my dark nights by street lights
Are so long gone

He remembers
The freckles in my eyes
To touch my face, sweep my hair
The sound of my laugh

This can't be some soon to be photos lost in a box
This can't be a overdrawn overexposed lust in life
This is just so much more
And I won't let your memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out

I remember
College fall afternoons
The crunch of leaves under boots & trees
Every bit of red

But he remembers
The words to my words
My favorite song about how you did me wrong
And the night we met

This can't be some soon to be photos lost in a box
This can't be a overdrawn overexposed lust in life
This is just so much more
And I won't let your memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out

Something about that bar night in my small town
Set me straight, set me stuck on you
I won't get lost in the boxes in my closet
I won't get lost without you

And I won't let their memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out

Everything's Alright

The sun is hitting through my blinds
Sifting through piles of white crumpled laundry
Your t-shirts are mixed in mine
And sometimes I swear you're too quick to forget

That job, it pulls you
But I can't stop remembering the night we met
You forget all we do
We've been fighting for this exact moment

And when I hear you say
"Nothings going right,"
I want to run away
Just tell me baby, everything'll be alright

We've made it through my ex-boyfriends and broken hearts
That one fight that almost tore us apart
And the time your pride took you away from me
We've made it through empty bank accounts
And big bills, and every bad rumor we've had to kill
But I know
All this effort just makes me see
Everything's alright when you're next to me

I remember two years ago & before you
When I woke up to every bad day
This is nothing to pain that I once knew
Your eyes now make it all okay

So when you're yelling, so damn frustrated
Can't you see the good in every day?
Our Sunday drives? Our love-filled life?
Tell me you're not runnin' away

I hate to hear you say
"Nothings going right,"
Look out to our whole lives
Just tell me baby, everything'll be alright

We've made it through your ex-girlfriends and broken trust
That one week that almost broke us
And the time my fears almost made me run
We've made it through false friends
And long work weeks, and every cut we've had to mend
But I know
All this effort just makes me see
Everything's alright when you're next to me

Home Again

I used to swear I'd never come back here
I used to swear on big dreams, and a college town
And I thought that I was better
Than all my high school friends who stuck around

But the chill that hits the air tonight
And a hometown crush holding my right hand
Makes home feel like home again
Maybe I just always belonged here

And this small town life I always took for granted
Now shines like the stars without big city bright lights
The wind in my hair, we grew up around here; it all feels right
And now my whole wide world fits in one country night

I fell for the boy who rode my bus
And the homegrown tomatoes in his backyard
The deep red clay that won't wash away
And a front porch beer sitting next to my mom

I thought all my dreams were so damn far away
But maybe my small town is bigger than it seems
Just some football stars and a fall fair are all we have
Maybe I just always belonged here

And this small town life I always took for granted
Now shines like the stars without big city bright lights
The wind in my hair, we grew up around here; it all feels right
And now my whole wide world fits in one country night

Washing Away

I haven't written you in a long time
But with rain down my window it makes me hard to pretend it's okay
You once were the summer on my fingertips, just like sand
Now you're washing away
Hear the thunder, smell the trees, you're here now
But none of this will every be quite the same
I miss your eyes, glowing, still laughing
Now you're washing away

I'm chasing dashboards and street lights
Rowhomes in the dark night
Curbside and a ring hanging by
I'm now just wishing on a soft glow
That I can just come home
And stop all of this rain
Now you're washing away in the rain

Do you remember the fires and tables?
My plea in a parking lot, "stay, baby, stay?"
Do you remember neon lights, up all night?
Now you're washing away

Now we're just washing away.

I Don't Know If I Can Do This.

I don’t know that I can do this.

He once smelled of white t-shirts and grease, cigarettes and stale beer, old garages and car exhausts.
He let me dance on his toes, drive Mom’s first car
…he bought her that car…
He brought me up in love, picked me up in concerts, and showed me things I was too small to see on my own.

I remember,
We used to drive for nowhere, stop for hotdogs, and sing old punk songs no four-year-old should know,
But I knew.
I still know his holes, his eyes, and the way his voice gives podium to the truth.
I still know his fear he glazes with fatherly comfort and strength and he’s stood so tall
For me–for us.

One night Momma left because the bills couldn’t be paid and Daddy tried to put my hair into a tight pink bow, and I cried.
Years later, he smiled to a stadium full of our Tyrone, Georgia smalltown football fans as he held my sister’s hand–proud.
He’s always been proud.

One year later, I was holding his hand as he laid in a hospital bed unable to finger a fork into a soft peach cup.
One year later, I was holding my mother’s hand as she watched her other half lose half his lung to a doctor who had no idea what he even had in his hands.
One year later, I was a woman holding together her father’s small business, her mother’s home, and her sister’s senior year.
One year later, I was a little girl watching her father die,
But he survived.

He fought his whole life to stand for his family and finally he won.
We thought he had won…

So how do I tell my father that I can be that strong again?
How do I face his fears and try to push back the visions of a wedding without someone to lift the veil?
How do I fight my “what-ifs” and tears and own shaking hands to tell him there’s no reason to shake or worry or stress?
He can do this again…

How do I?

How can I write you, look at you, explain to you with words the fear I once felt as I cried into a dark empty night, begging for my father’s life?
And what it means to feel that wordless fear again?
How can I?

Please forgive me if I just stand here with a smile on my face, with a mask of faith.
Forgive me God for my fear shaking in my hands and trying to pry itself through my mouth showing teeth.
I just need him to stand
I need him to believe
I need him to lift me off my own knees.

But how can he when he’s been brought to his own?
How can he?

My father–the man–with the tattoos and motorcycles and scars on the knuckles of his hands.
My father–the man–who puts the fear into my boyfriends and the respect into my heart.
My father–the man–who lost his right lung but never lost his heart, nor his pride.
My father who stands tall with my mother’s ring still holding on to his left hand.
My father–the man.

But my father is just a man. My father is just a man.

I don’t know that I can do this, Daddy, I don’t know that I can do this again.

But here we go again.
We can do this again.

God, I’m praying, I’m begging.
Help us do this again.

God, I’m praying, I’m begging.
Help us do this again.

God, I’m praying, I’m begging.
Help us do this again.

I'm Sorry.

I’m sorry.
I’m sorry you came over that first night.
I’m sorry I cooked for you and let you sleep in my bed.
I’m sorry you kissed me in a dark garden on my green campus.
And I’m sorry I held your hand like you were mine.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry for the text messages and phone calls and for kissing your ass.
I’m sorry I tried to make you smile and in turn, let you take down my walls.
I’m sorry I wrote for you, to you, about you.
And I’m sorry I ever tried to fill your holes.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry she broke your heart and I’m sorry I let you break mine.
I’m sorry I confused sickness with arrogance and I’m sorry I ever excused your ego.
I’m sorry I slept in your bed, hugged your mother, and pet your dogs.
I’m sorry I drove in the rain for an hour to sleep in your arms.
I’m so fucking sorry.
I’m sorry I let you let me laugh.
I’m sorry we slow danced and I’m sorry I thought you were a man.
I’m sorry I gave you a chance when I should of known better than to like a boy in a band.
I’m sorry you can’t say we were dating, and damn, I’m glad we never did.
I’m so so sorry.
I’m sorry I let you call me baby, or even kiddo, in your condescending way.
I’m sorry you bought me drinks, or that I even expected you to act like a gentleman.
I’m sorry we played house, I’m sorry you loved my dog, and I’m sorry I thought you were my best friend.
I’m sorry your friends told you what a good woman I am, and how it will hurt I ever leave.
But baby, I’m not sorry I’m leaving.
No, I’m not sorry, I’m gone.

C'mon C'mon

C'mon c'mon
Write me a song
Whisper something smooth
Let me feel you
C'mon c'mon
Let me be your song
I feel your rain
Let me feel that pain
C'mon c'mon

Sitting in a passenger seat
Half moon hangin' down on me
Sendin' love even I can see
C'mon c'mon
Sweet little fingertips
Pushin' secrets against your lips
Sweet scars even I can't fix
C'mon c'mon

Write me a song
Whisper something smooth
Let me feel you
C'mon c'mon
Let me be your song
I feel your rain
Let me feel that pain
C'mon c'mon

Mixtape playing on your skin
Those lyrics let me in
Ryan Adams callin' us again
C'mon c'mon
You're the lines in my eyes
Even your love I can't fight
Trying to push out too many lines
C'mon c'mon

Write me a song
Whisper something smooth
Let me feel you
C'mon c'mon
Let me be your song
I feel your rain
Let me feel that pain
C'mon c'mon

In The Dark

In your passenger seat
I watch the moon
And gathering clouds, rising
You start to scream out
"Baby, this is my part,"
Every part is your part
When we're sitting here
In the dark

Cigarette smoke fills the car
In this southern state
I undo my seatbelt
You're more than I can take
I want to feel you weak
You kiss my hand and cheek
In the dark

Sometimes sometimes I swear
You're something that was all I need
And when you whisper to me
Baby baby baby you're all I need
And maybe I can't write this down
Or tell the truth to you
But this is all I need
In the dark, with you.

And you can tell 'bout your yellow bird
But baby she just went and flew away
You can tell me 'bout your little birds
But baby, that just makes me stay

Sometimes sometimes I swear
You're something that was all I need
And when you whisper to me
Baby baby baby you're all I need
And maybe I can't write this down
Or tell the truth to you
But this is all I need
In the dark, with you.

Write It Down (Your Song)

She said to me,"Baby, write a note,"
She'll stick in a box with pictures of the hearts she broke
She'll say to me, "You're the only one I know,"
So now I'm falling into letters. So now I'm giving up all hope.

And maybe she asked me sweet, "Don't make this about me,"
But the lines in my heart scream, "You have to let me,"

I don't want to break
Anymore walls down
But sometimes these pills I take
Are all I hold on
And save me, save these texts
And maybe we'll be real
I can't stop the pain
But I can write it down
Baby, baby, baby, I'll write it down.

I whispered in the dark, "I know this is so wrong,"
But in little white lies, I color all the pasts gone
I yelled it out, "I swear I didn't mean it!"
And now in this glow I'm writing you your song

And maybe she asked me sweet, "Don't make this about me,"
But the lines in my heart scream, "You have to let me,"

I don't want to break
Anymore walls down
But sometimes these pills I take
Are all I hold on
And save me, save these texts
And maybe we'll be real
I can't stop the pain
But I can write it down
Baby, baby, baby, I'll write it down.

I just don't think you'll ever read it
I just don't think you'll ever need this
But baby, this is for you, about you, to you
But baby, this is for you, about you, I need you

I don't want to break
Anymore walls down
But sometimes these pills I take
Are all I hold on
And save me, save these texts
And maybe we'll be real
I can't stop the pain
But I can write it down
Baby, baby, baby, I'll write it down.

You Didn't Know (Birds)

I never thought of the end
Or even the beginning
Some people just fall into your life
And you’re never grateful that they never leave

You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we loved you
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we needed you

We didn’t mean to forget
We just didn’t know how to say
All the words you were never afraid of
All the words we’re thinkin’ today

You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we loved you
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we needed you

And now our hearts
They’re breakin’
And now, my God,
You’ve been taken
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we loved you
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we needed you

You didn’t know I loved you, no, no
You’ll never know I needed you
You didn’t know I loved you, no, no
You’ll never know I needed you

You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we loved you
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we needed you

I Can't Help Missin' You

I can't help missin' you
Sometimes I feel so weak
And maybe it's five am
But I haven't got much sleep

You're probably drinkin' coffee while I'm dwelling on the blues
But baby sometimes I just can't help reliving you

You are that stuttering
In a car that just won't start
You are the swollen scars
On my empty heart

And my phone just sits there silent and I just want to make that call
Damn, these feelings just don't make any sense at all

You don't mean anything
More than a boy who wasted time
Sometimes I just want to scream
'Bout the way you haunt my mind

You're probably strumming your guitar to a girl fallin' for you
But baby sometimes I just can't help wanting you

Don't you just want to break?
Just fall for me?
I've been so damn patient
With the secrets you keep
I watch your eyes, I hold your name
Baby, I just can't help missin' you

I can't help missin' you
Yeah, I feel so lonely now
Living in faded pasts
Don't make sense anyhow

You won't miss me and I know you won't call
Missin' you don't make any damn sense at all

But I can't help missin' you.
