We Fell Apart
We fell apart and I think you're to blame
I've done my part you should feel ashamed
The outlook is dark but you brung the rain
Gave you my heart, you were just playing games
I kept quiet when you went out drankin' all night long
and I never snitched on all your killin' of your country songs
I'd rather hear nails on the board of the color of your own
Darlin' noones died from leavin' with no makeup on
CHORUS
You say I never take you out, or show you a good time
But I've been broke since you discovered how to shop online
You ramble how you're a man, respect is what you're owed
But if that's what you're lookin' for, you best keep on them clothes
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I've been told that love's a game, with you it ain't no fun
Ya cheat and lie, break all the rules, now nobody's won
CHORUS
Big Red Fire
CHORUS:
Don’t know when I dozed, but when I woke
the fire’s unquestionably dying
Now all that is left is smoldering logs
but the smoke ain’t the reason i’m crying
Day’s a fine one, but I got nothing left
time to pack up and go
Sure I’ll miss it, this trip we’ve been livin'
but I'll miss more the comforts of home
Your desperate reliance on me it sometime faded
I guess I grew out of my limp
Now you’re all grown up and I don’t need a crutch
sure is lonely living healthy and old
CHORUS
We were something, me and you
two happy spiders
all tangled up in our web
But as nature predicted when we were finished
well, you gone and you bit off my head
Lord knows I’m not without blame
it hurts, but it’s the cold hard truth
Cause when we were sliding
I sought to save myself
and watched as ya fell off the roof
CHORUS
Now I sit here alone and I'm chilled to the bone
While you’re off with some other admirer
And all I can do is wail this old lament
for our big red warm loving fire
CHORUS
White Paper Lie
There's a letter I keep in my pocket,
I read most every day
Just words you scribbled down breathless,
How ya loved me but you were afraid
Now my memories and wishes are closer
But paper is useless to save
But it's all that's left, of your love for me
Since you gave the rest all away
CHORUS:
Sometimes a line makes me smile
Sometimes that's enough to get by
But mostly it helps, to imagine you miss me
And keeps me from saying goodbye
There's a memory I keep in my holster,
I feel almost every night
The power that I held to hurt you,
The power that I held to fight
Now I'm haunted at night by indifference
That in day I can pass off as shame
The memory helps, pretending you miss me
And the picture of you being afraid
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
The hole that you left makes me feel less than half
of the person that I was before
And I wonder if memories are holding me back
from feeling whole once more
There’s an image of you I can’t banish
That comes from bouncing through mirrors in my mind
Truth’s been found in false idols
And I find you impossibly kind but mirrors are easily broken
And idols are burned in good time
So when I forget to think you love me
I’ll burn your white paper lie
CHORUS
