I wish I could just feel okay
Without a few drinks simmering inside
Take the frames off your walls
That wood won't ever look the same
I don't know how you faked this for so long
I can't even fake a smile
You ran away to some girl with blue eyes
I wonder now if she knows your lies
I never once ran away from home
Only back here when things got hard
I sometimes miss that camo-covered man
The hometown hero who still loves me anyways
How can he see right through me
Yet embrace me and all my holes
That I've fallen into, every damn day
My mom keeps promising it'll be okay
I hope you feel guilty for everything you did
I think you might have broke my heart
Not in the metaphorical sort of manner
But the kind you just can't fix
A boy asked me out today
Since when did text messages become the way
What happened to the gentlemen
The flowers, and picking me up in your truck
Someone just open a damn door
Someone just hold my hands
Someone take care of me, just once,
Promise me it'll be okay
I'm sick of lighting candles, spending my nights
With a bottle of wine and Ryan Adams' songs
To ease this pain, erase your memories
But I wake up and it's still just the same
Someone take me out of here
Someone write for me
Someone told me that my songs were too sad
Then someone needs to give me a reason to breathe
My sister tells me what her world has become
And I swear it'll never be that way again
I will never promise a man I'll always stay
They just take advantage that way
No one is ever going to read down this far
And maybe this isn't as well-written as I'd like
But this old cd is on repeat in the background
No amount of ink will drown this out
Someone say you need me
Someone sit on my porch
Someone once promised me forever
And now someone is all gone
I once drove too fast down Graves Road
Late at night, after a few drinks
In my old Ford, to see your face
And make sure that you were okay
I once told my mom I was at my best friends
Just to sleep in your arms
On your mattress, lying on the ground
Of the bedroom loft at your parents house
I wrote you songs. I pet your cat.
I spent days with your sister
Giving her advice on the boys in school
I bought your sister-in-law a Christmas present
I held your hand when you cried
Someone ask him why he lied
Someone tell him you killed her inside
I refuse to let you know I'm weak
But sometimes I still just cry
You won, you won, you broke the girl
Who broke down all her walls to love you
Someone hit him in the face
Someone put your hands around his throat
Someone tell him he ain't that big
Nor is he as cute as I swore he was
I don't know how to end this
Somehow I let you walk away with my all
Even after I brought you all your things
You still kept my clothes
It's just like you to take my things away
It's just like me to give you too much time
So let's somehow make this the end
I'm all alone now and I feel just fine
Someone tell him this is ending
Someone end this with me.
