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
