lyrics

Gashes in the furniture and bourbon on my tongue
Ink spilled on the first draft of a song already-sung
You sold my Smith Corona for a Greyhound ticket home
And left me here with nothing that I want to call my own.
What did I do lose it all again?
And what did I do to ruin it this time around?
Where can you go when every door is closed on you?
And why is it that these walls are closing in?

Good while it lasted
That’s what they taught me to say
The life we made don’t seem to fade
Though I know you’ve gone away

Fragments strewn across the room of my old wedding gown
Blood stain on the headboard from the time you threw me down
Three guitars I smashed, three different times I lost control
You’ll never make it big unless you wanna sell your soul
Why did I trust that things were gonna go my way?
And how could I think that I’d found my way out?
Where can you use regret except in writing?
And why did I never even doubt it?

Good while it lasted
That’s what they taught me to say
The life we made don’t seem to fade
Though I know you’ve gone away

Cracks in the pavement
And smoke in the air
My life with you was nothing new
Thought you’d be the one who cared

Stole my clothes when I was sound asleep in our old bed
Stripped the copper wire from the wall above my head
If I was not so foolish you could say I was betrayed
But I’ll call you up tomorrow; tell you how I wish you’d stayed

Good while it lasted
That’s what they taught me to say
The life we made don’t seem to fade
Though I know you’ve gone away

Cracks in the pavement
And smoke in the air
My life with you was nothing new
Thought you’d be the one who cared

Good while it lasted
Now I’m caught in the rain
Memories burn and I still yearn
For the man who made the stain
