Guess

I guess I can guess who came & picked you off your feet
When you swore I was the one who pushed you down
I'm sure she said I'm not pretty, and it never meant a thing
I'm sure she said you deserved more
I can guess where you went to drink away the memories
And I'm sure you found a new good nght kiss
I guess you never told her what was really going on
And what all those candlelit nights really meant
Sonmetimes I think you could have been my friend
And sometimes I wonder what it is you do
Now that I moved on and started back on growing up
But then I remember you're just some old songs
You're Ryan Adams singing to me in the dark tonight
And saying, broken hearts can't ever mend
But I knew who you were and I can guess you know it now
You & I were only meant to end
I can guess the color of your eyes when you look in the sun
And I know exactly what shades you'll put on
To block the lights and dim the summer in your face
With the windows down driving too fast in your car
I bet she said I wasn't pretty anymore
And I can guess you probably held up all my faults
Took me down line by line, each skin cell a fail
I bet she will always love you though all of this
You won't cry, you're too good, and I bet you'll say
I just need some time alone to work this out
You once shone like white sand on a paradise island
But now that past all too far gone
You'll say I should have kept in touch
I suppose it was rude to leave like I did
But now I found a man, and I don't have to take drugs
Just to calm me down so I can believe in love
He holds my hand walking through the grocery store
And opens doors and is a perfect gentleman
He's learned to love my messed up heart and all my pasts
So you're just a memory that helped build the worman I am
Maybe sometimes those college days still haunt me
Like dark ghosts in the shadows that he fills
But he looks in my hazel eyes and sees the truth
I'm just a girl looking for life without guilt
So take this as whatever you think I am
I know sometimes I deserve those words
But I can guess you're probaly already over me anyways
And our lives are better off with out the toxic days
Break this off, print it, ink in proof
I'm done writing you anymore damn songs
It was only a mistake, they happen all the time
And I can guess our memories have hung around too long
I can guess you've been hanging around too long

Move On Again

I just wanted to lie in my bed
Write about my broken hearts and move on
Last night I lit a candle
I bought from the Wal-mart five dollar rack

Do you remember wandering through their shelves
Late at night, with nowhere to go?
In that town the lights had finally gone dim
Just long enough to let the moon go down

I broke off those dark nights
I ended where the neon bar ends
And no longer will we watch the girls
Walk without a sense of where they've been

And I won't be broken
For the past I once I had
It took a few days
And everything was fine
You wrote letters
But you couldn't sign your name
Maybe it's time to move on again
Just maybe it's time to move on again

The dark truck cab rattles
On the rocks under my folks mailbox
They take it in, each day
And across this benchseat, you're so far away

The smell of grease & oil
Just can't take over your summer skin
And the brown warmth in July
You once held within

I still tell myself
I'm prettier than that girl you kissed
Just to get through my day
I guess I'm a hypocrite

And I won't be broken
For the past I once I had
It took a few days
And everything was fine
You wrote letters
But you couldn't sign your name
Maybe it's time to move on again
Just maybe it's time to move on again
