That Wouldn't Be Me

It's a Sunday
And I'm locked away
I tried writin' you a letter, but I don't have nothin' to say
You say you don't like
How you feel tonight
And there's nothing you'd rather do than just get it right
You can try for better weather
But don't wait for the call
'Cause you tried to make things better
Than you lost it all
Do you dream at all about me?
Is it hard to live without me?
Baby, I ain't one for crawlin' back, and fallin' at your feet
Did you really think that I would never leave?
'Cause that wouldn't be me
I'm doin' alright
Tryin' to win the fight
And it's an uphill battle on the way to feelin' right
Like a sad song
Goin' on too long
It's a whole lot better than hell, but it's still wrong
So I'll drink this dedication
To the dreams I've left behind
And the tragic realization
That you can't stop time

I Won't Be Long

How did we get here?
I never seem to really know
What made you happy
At all
Days turn to nights
And the nights to weeks
Rollin' along, and it's killin' me
It's too close to call
I've got a mind to say
That I'm sick and tired of how it's goin'
Can't you see that this is wrong?
Your heads in the clouds, and you're so proud
But you don't know the seeds I'm sowing
I'm draggin' behind, but I won't be long
Take all the money
Take your brand new shiny car
Take all the reasons
That you are
And write 'em all down in exchange for the truth
Put up a wall that I can't see through
But you won't get far

Pretty Mama

Late in the evening when the lights go down
You're makin' music without makin' a sound
I wish you could see the way I see you right now
Oh, pretty mama
Leave the table, leave the candle in flame
Lock the door, and set aside these crazy games
I know how you're feelin', and I'm feelin' the same
Oh, pretty mama
I tried to keep it steady
But it's so hard to control
And now, you've got me thinkin' that I've lost my very soul
You said "Let's keep it simple,
Let's try not to make a scene"
But the way you let your hair down has got me beggin' on my knees
So if you please, go easy on me
Oh Pretty Mama
They say that half the time love don't last
But my mind is different, I don't care about the past
You've got me fallin' and I can't go back
Oh, pretty mama
And when you lay beside me
The world falls apart
I wish that I could show you what you're doin' to my heart
I was livin' like a sinner
So lonesome I could die
But now, you've got me singin' and I know the reason why
It's worth a try, makin' you mine
Oh, pretty mama

At Home

Bought you flowers this morning
To cover this mess
I was caught in the crosshair
You'd already left
I had time to alone at home
So this evening I went out
To drown all the hurt
But the anger kept growin'
And the whiskey just burned
I had time to waste at home
Woman I hate to see you cry
And I know this ain't somethin' you need
You know, you look good in the firelight
But I can't make you stay and love me
Left a note on the front stair
In case you came through
There's been others but no one
Can love like you do
Make that fire glow at home
If you ever get lonely
And feel like you did
My door is still open
Like it's always been
There's a place for you at home
