Should Have Known
Before I knew you, I had never known someone
So overrun, by their demons
Who were so controlling
Constantly scolding
With cold hands unfolding
The soul in me
But you never know what lies behind a smile
A voice that sings so gently
A touch that’s so mild
I never thought I’d cry
I never thought I’d be someone who told themselves it’s fine
Why couldn’t I, Say goodbye
When loving you made me feel so alone
I should have known
You’d see me shine
Jealous of my innocence
My fire burnt too bright
My scars too thin
When I tried to soar
On the wings of my dreams
You’d bring me down
Like gravity
You never know the power of a smile
A voice that sings so gently, a touch that’s so
I never thought I’d cry
I never thought I’d be someone who told themselves it’s fine
Why couldn’t I, Say goodbye
When loving you made me feel so alone
I should have known
The hurt you gave to me was heavy
I was weak from wearing all your blame
I finally found the strength to break free
And I’m never coming back again
I never thought I’d cry
I never thought I’d be someone who told themselves it’s fine
Why couldn’t I, Say goodbye
When loving you made me feel so alone
I should have known
When loving you made me feel so alone
I should have known

Hope You're Lonely

Hope You’re Lonely
You reek of vanity and whiskey
The kind of stink success can bring
I have no interest in your story
Don’t bother asking how I’ve been
Oh, I’Ain’t a fool who’ll fall again
You traded honky-tonks for bistros
Ditched all your friends to drink champagne
So pop the cork to your achievements
With empty chairs you celebrate
Oh, how you liking all that fame?
I hope you’re lonely at the top
I hope it’s full of disappointment
I hope you don’t even enjoy it
Oh my I guess I’ve better stop
I bet you’re wishing you had me around
But babe I’d only drag you down
Don’t be too shy to wave down here to me now,
When you’re feeling
Kind of lonely
At the top
Don’t think I’ve ever been more driven
To put somebody in their place
And honey/darlin’ I might be mistaken
I bet that smirks gone off your face
Oh, how you liking all that “space”
I hope you’re lonely at the top
I hope it’s full of disappointment
I hope you don’t even enjoy it
Oh my I guess I’ve better stop
I bet you’re wishing you had me around
But babe I’d only drag you down
Don’t be too shy to wave down here to me now,
When you’re feeling
Kind of lonely
At the top
Don’t play around you’re back in town for this smile you been missing
Maybe I’ll find it in my heart some part of you worth forgiving
Well…
I hope you’re lonely at the top
I hope it’s full of disappointment
I hope you don’t even enjoy it
Oh my I guess I’ve better stop
I bet you’re wishing you had me around
But babe I’d only drag you down
Don’t be too shy to wave down here to me now,
When you’re feeling
Kind of lonely
At the top

Your Company

Your Company
Came across old pictures of a younger us,
Muscle cars and Bonfires, made us rebels once
And even though that’s come and gone, some
Part of me can’t seem to quit holding on
The fire is bright and brilliant when you find true love
A thing (things) you take for granted when the night is young
And only when the flame is done you
realize no match outshines the sun
Broken down and washed away
I Let our love, grow cold and fade
I regret this mess I made
Why’d I underrate your company
I’ve tried to let you go I guess I don’t know how
In my head faint hope still turns things round and round
I wonder if a piece of you still
love me like you used to even now
Broken down and washed away
I Let our love, Grow cold fade
I regret this mess I’ve made
Why’d I underrate your company
Broken down and washed away
I Let our love, grow cold and fade
I regret this mess I’ve made
Why did I decide that we were
Broken down and washed away
can’t escape this bed I’ve made
I’ll own the sorrow, take the blame
Why’d I underrate your company, Why’d I underrate, your company

More Than A Memory

More than a Memory
It’s been a couple years now
We’ve moved on with our lives
Still something about you
Keeps me up at night
Leaves me staring at the ceiling
Wondering if this is right
I think about your laughter
How it echoed down the hall
And I’d love again to hear it
But I’m too afraid to call
Cause I know that you’ll be laughing
But in someone elses’ arms
But I wonder where we’d be
If you’re heart still longed for me
And I’m glad you’re out there growing up
But I can’t help but wish your love
Was more than a memory
We’d probably have a white house
Like the one we dreamed about
I’d be burning all our dinners
Still trying to figure it all out
And I hope you go and live that dream
But it’s someone elses’ now
Still I wonder where we’d be
If you’re heart still longed for me
And I’m glad you’re out there growing up
But I can’t help but wish your love
Was more than a memory
No plea or apology could erase that all you got from me
Was a broken heart
Broken dreams
Still I wonder where we’d be
If you’re heart still longed for me
And I know you’ll keep on growing up
And leave me wishing that your love
Was more than a memory
more than a memory
was more,
than a cold memory
