A Long And Happy Life lyrics - Delta Rae
I was born to a family of jokers
Gamblers and smokers living on the line
I was raised by strong-headed women
Men who tested limits and did a little time
And it ain't a mystery you fell for me
We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace
Love like ours ain't a masterpiece
It's a good day in the sun
I was born to love you
Out where the water is wide
Make me your country bride
You'll be my prince of tides
You were born to heal me
Under a velvet sky
Cattails dancing in the light
We were born to live a long and happy life
A happy life
Yeah, folks like us
We may lie down in darkness
But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell
Cause we grew up around beauty
Sunsets better than a movie
We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end
And to toast to good nights with friends
I was born to love you
Out where the water is wide
Make me your country bride
You'll be my prince of tides
You were born to heal me
Under a velvet sky
Cattails dancing in the light
We were born to live a long and happy life
A happy life
Hey, a happy life
And it comes to me in waves
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
Knowing I'm so lucky
Your broken heart could love me
I was born to love you
Out where the water is wide
Make me your country bride
You'll be my prince of tides
You were born to heal me
Under a velvet sky
Cattails dancing in the light
We were born to live a long and happy life
A happy life
Hey, a happy life
Happy life
I Moved South lyrics - Delta Rae
I lived in California; I was working in Manhattan
My life was very busy, yeah, but nothing ever happened
I wanted to make music and to show the world my soul
So I moved down south where they still play rock and roll
I always wanted summer; I was tired of the snow
I wanna find a lover where the sweet magnolias grow
Yeah, there's something in the water, on the shores of Muscle Shoals
So I moved down south where they still play rock and roll
I moved south where the grass is green
I moved south where my friends take care of me
Yeah, there's beauty in the valley and good people in the city
But I moved down south where the music moves me
Yeah, I moved down south where the music moves me
I met up with my brothers and I made a couple more
Bought a van that smelled like Armor All and we took it out on tour
From Atlanta to Seattle, we sang gospel and soul
And we'll go to any city where they still play rock and roll
And we go back home where the sweet magnolias grow
I moved south where the grass is green
I moved south where my friends take care of me
Yeah, there's beauty in the valley and good people in the city
But I moved down south where the music moves me
I moved south where the grass is green
I moved south where my friends take care of me
Yeah, there's beauty in the valley and good people in the city
But I moved down south where the music moves me
Yeah, I moved down south where the music moves me
No Peace In Quiet lyrics - Delta Rae
My friends are always over so I'm not alone
And the TV's on the second that they leave
Ghosts don't stand a chance against the radio
That's why I turn the music up to sleep
Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet
Tonight, I'll lay down knowing you're not coming home
Then I'll swear I hear your keys outside my door
And I'll hate myself for checking as if I don't know
That it's just the wind chimes on the neighbor's porch
Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet
I hear you standing in the shower
Hear you breathing in my bed
But there's nothing I hear louder
Than the words I never said
Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet
There's no peace
Ain't Love lyrics - Delta Rae
Clock buzzes, it's 6:00 AM
I know this morning is not my friend
You came home in a fix last night
I told you "baby, I don't wanna fight"
And I know it's easy
A broken heart looks good on me
And I know you mean it
But I won't believe you til you're almost screaming
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Cause it ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
It ain't love til it hurts like this
We only share the happy pictures we take
We put a filter on our own heartache
The evening comes like an unpaid bill
Just say the words, darling, break this spell
And I know it's true
Ooh, a broken heart looks good on you
Yeah, I know that's enough
Hey, let's make it worth it, spend the whole night making love
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Cause it ain't love til it hurts like this, no
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Oh, baby, were we both born sick?
Ain't love til it hurts like this
You, you make me feel
Like gold, white heat, black velvet
And you, you got the touch to heal me
But it ain't enough
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love
Ain't love til it hurts like this
Anthem lyrics - Delta Rae
Am I always on the edge of quitting?
Giving up and just forgetting
Everything I ever stood up for,
The love that I have always lurked for?
The lions and the lambs are fighting
Waking up and reigniting
But I don't wanna fight their old war
Give me something I can hope for
Run lyrics - Delta Rae
We're gonna rob the banks and feel no shame
Burn our fingers and change our names
And I'll tame the roads that can't be tamed
With you
Then we'll race like falcons to crash and burn
Learn the lessons we never learned
If you kiss me harder, some day I'll turn
To you
To you
I want to run
To feel again
To be no one
To run under the stars of Orion
And all my life I've been burdened by the dreams I've had
Now I want to run
I want to run
So let's paint our bodies and chase the sky
The Earth will shake and we'll wonder why
But if I never know, well, at least I'll lie
With you
With you
I want to run
To feel again
To be no one
To run under the stars of Orion
And all my life I've been burdened by the dreams I've had
Now I want to run
I want to run
I want to run
I want to run
I want to
Outlaws lyrics - Delta Rae
Baby we can be magic
Pack your bags because we leave tonight
I've got something to show you
Wrap your arms 'round my waist so tight
Let that hunger control you
Our parents won't understand
They don't know we might not last the day
We ought to make a stand
Holding out for another way
[Chorus:]
Don't you know that we're outlaws?
Giving the finger to death itself
We got no one to hide from
We got no one to toast our health
Rules were meant to be pushed and pulled
We were meant to be sparks of light
Running now with the raging bulls
Baby we can be magic tonight
Ever since I was ten years old
You know that I could feel it
Gasoline coursing through my soul
Light me up like a spirit
Our friends they won't understand
They can't feel all the lust inside our eyes
We ought to make a stand
Holding out for a new sunrise
[Chorus:]
Don't you know that we're outlaws?
Giving the finger to death itself
We got no one to hide from
We got no one to toast our health
Rules were meant to be pushed and pulled
We were meant to be sparks of light
Running now with the raging bulls
Baby we can be magic tonight
Baby we can be magic (Oh)
Baby we can be magic (Oh)
[Chorus:]
Don't you know that we're outlaws?
Giving the finger to death itself
We got no one to hide from
We got no one to toast our health
Rules were meant to be pushed and pulled
We were meant to be sparks of light
Running now with the raging bulls
Baby we can be magic tonight
Baby we can be magic (Oh)
Baby we can be magic (Oh)
Baby we can be magic (Oh)
Baby we can be magic (Oh)
The Dream lyrics - Delta Rae
I have the dream, always the same
I was in white and falling
Pretty red rose pinned to my clothes
I had the dream as always
Scared lyrics - Delta Rae
Remember when you said you loved me?
Remember when you said that it would all work out?
We packed up and we left one morning
And everything you promised didn't happen, and now
I'm swirling softly
Drifting like the cream in your coffee
And you're talking calmly
When I'm scared
To be on our own
When the thrill is gone
And I'm scared
Thinking what we've done
To try to love someone
Baby can you keep your promise?
Baby can I keep you honest?
Cause I'm scared
There's nothing in the sky above me
There's nothing strung below us, baby, if we fall
We're caught between a spark and lightning
We're caught between forever and nothing at all
And I'm sorry, I love you
But even those words are getting see-through
And I'm losing it all to this feeling, baby
I'm scared
To be on our own
When the thrill is gone
And I'm scared
Thinking what we've done
To try to love someone
Baby can you keep your promise?
Baby can I keep you honest?
Cause I'm scared
When you say you love me
When you say you love me
(I'm scared)
Are we ever gonna be okay?
When you say you love me
(I'm scared)
Are we ever really gonna feel safe?
When you say you love me
(I'm scared)
Is there something I can say?
When you say you love me
(I'm scared)
Is it better if I walk away?
When you say you love me?
Cause I'm scared
To be on our own
And I'm scared
Thinking what we've done
Baby can you keep your promise?
Baby can I keep you honest?
Cause I'm scared.
Chasing Twisters lyrics - Delta Rae
I was born with lightning in my heels
Sewed a spur onto my ankle
Bitter horse under the steel
And I lost hope when I was still so young
Had an angel on my shoulder
But the devil always won
And oh, I lost it all when I got hurt
And I can feel you even now
Breakin' horses in the sky
I can taste you in my rage
And in the sweat upon my brow
And I went home,
Chasing twisters in the canyon
My cathedral is the badlands
Dust and devils on my conscience
Come back to me darlin'
So kiss me now
This whiskey on my breath
Feel the lives that I have taken
What little soul that I have left
And oh, my god
I'll take you to the grave
The only love I've ever known
The only soul I've ever saved
And I went home,
Chasing twisters in the canyon
My cathedral is the badlands
Dust and devils on my conscience
Come back to me darlin'
And I've been waiting for so long now
I can feel you in the hollow
And every cloud on the horizon
Come back to me darlin'
Come back to me darlin'
Come back to me darlin'
Ohhh (Don't you know I dream about you?)
Ohhh (Don't you know I dream about you?)
Ohhh
Bethlehem Steel lyrics - Delta Rae
A child was born in Bethlehem,
The son of a steel worker union man.
He grew up tall and he grew up strong,
And when he came of age,
All the steel was gone.
Go to China,
To Vietnam,
There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
He wants gold,
There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
Save our souls,
Cos there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
A reckless kid wants to use his hands,
He's got a real quick trigger and some new demands.
He grew so fast, and he grew so free,
And when he comes around, he finds there's no more steel.
So shaken,
to his knees,
He's got the same old rocket and a new disease.
And he won't take it,
On his neck,
He's got the red hot whiskey,
He's got no respect.
He wants gold,
There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
Save our souls,
Cos there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
Ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
He wants gold,
There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
Save our souls,
Cos there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
You can put your faith in the government,
But there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
Try to get them back, try for reckoning,
But there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.
He wants gold...
Dead End Road lyrics - Delta Rae
The air's crisp
Kinda way that it sobers your mind and drives you back home again
You lift all the burdens from your shoulders and realize
You've reached the end
Tell me honestly what you came here for
When you've had enough but you beg for more
And you talk so tough but you can't ignore
That you're done driving down a dead end road
Done driving on down a dead end road
Late nights, don't they stretch on forever?
You never thought that you would have to ask for help
It's alright, baby, it's just a little static on the line
That time is gonna figure out
You're gonna figure it out
Tell me honestly what you came here for
When you've had enough but you beg for more
And you talk so tough but you can't ignore
That you're done driving down a dead end road
Done driving down a dead end road
You missed it, the sound of tires on the ground
You missed it, the stinging sign, the open arms
You missed it, after the miles you've already traveled
You missed it, how could you ever look behind?
Tell me honestly what you came here for
When you've had enough but you beg for more
And you talk so tough but you can't ignore
That you're done driving down a dead end road
Done driving down a dead end road
You're done driving down a dead end road
Done driving down a dead end road
You're The One For Me lyrics - Delta Rae
We've been walking down this open road for way too long
And I don't wanna lead you on, I don't wanna lead you on
The traffic stops, the doors are locked and no one's near
Never has it been so clear, never has it been so clear
That I could love you so I don't know why
I'm holding back now when everything's right
Take my hand, darling, look in my eyes
Don't wanna close... baby
There's nothing open
The stars are shining, love
We walk in circles
And I don't wanna go, I think you should know
You're the one for me
Can't stop watching you
Little things you do that make me weak
Stop me when I try to speak
And prove that I've got so damn lucky
Cause I've been waiting for some sort of sign
All these days it's been there in your eyes
And I don't wanna f*ck it up the first time
I'll let you know, know, baby
There's nothing open
The stars are shining, love
We walk in circles
And I don't wanna go, I think you should know
You're the one for me
And you know it
And I know it
It's a beautiful thing
Let's just stay in this moment
Let's just stay in this moment
There's nothing open
The stars are shining, love
We walk in circles
And I don't wanna go, I think you should know
You're the one for me
There's nothing open
The stars are shining, love
We walk in circles
And I don't wanna go, I think you should know
I don't wanna go, I think you should know
I don't wanna go, I think you should know
You're the one for me, yeah yeah
I don't wanna go
Cold Day In Heaven lyrics - Delta Rae
It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven
We watched the stars fell, and oh you know we let them
We said it’ll never happen, we said it’ll never happen to us
Keep thinking bout when we started, so innocent
Your heart was a mess and I was lost in it
Keep thinking bout the day that we met, and how you’ve changed
You loved me once, and now you bring me pain
Keep thinking that I will say goodbye
Made a promise that you won’t see me cry again
It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven
We watched the stars fell, and oh you know we let them
We said it’ll never happen, we said it’ll never happen to us
But it’s a cold day in heaven, my love
The sky’s dark and the flowers are frozen, the world is hushed
Our guardian angels have turned their backs on us
Something broken, I thought I could fix it, but it’s broken me
Your kisses are poison and all your words are treason
I’m walking away, you won’t hear me say
"I love you"
Look at all the stars they have fallen
There’s nothing left though you still wishing
The sun it doesn’t rise in the morning
It’s frozen
Look at all the stars they have fallen
There’s nothing left though you still wishing
The sun it doesn’t rise in the morning
It’s frozen
It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven
We watched the stars fell, and oh you know we let them
We said it’ll never happen, you said it’ll never happen to us
Now it’s a cold day in heaven, my love
Cold day in heaven, my love
I Will Never Die lyrics - Delta Rae
Hickory, oak, pine and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul
Spread my spirit like a flock of crows
Cause I loved ya for too long
I loved ya for too long
I loved ya for too long
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss thru electric wire
But I'll never die
Sycamore, ash, moss and loam
Wrap your roots all around my bones
And when they come for me
When they call my name
Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame
Cause I loved ya for too long
I loved ya for too long
I loved ya for too long
(So let the storm come)
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss to electric wire
But I'll never die...
I will never die
You can bury my body but I'll never die
In the dead of the night
(In the dead of the night)
I'm gonna loose this chain
(I'm gonna loose this chain)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run
(Sing on sister)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run
Coming for you again
(Oh I'm coming for you again)
Oh
So let the storm come
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss to electric wire
But I'll never die...
I will never die
You can bury my body but I'll never die
Hickory, oak, pine and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
The Meaning Of It All lyrics - Delta Rae
If I asked you to remember
Why we set out on this road
You gonna fight me or surrender
That it wasn't all my fault
Cause you're breaking down and I can tell it's deep
There's a tidal wave that's rushing towards the beach
But your anger has such beauty underneath
And we all want love, yeah we all want love
There's no end to what we're feeling
Just some breaks along the way
I get so caught up in the meaning of it all
While my heart just wants to crave
So breathe, darling, breathe in deep
Come on, breathe, darling, breathe in deep for me
Cause I'm breaking down and I can tell it's deep
I try to dream about the future when I dream
But I can't bury that sad kid I used to be
Cause we all want love, yeah we all want love
Cause we're breaking down and I can tell it's deep
There's a tidal wave that's rushing towards the beach
But you know I'll be there waiting
With my arms outstretched to reach for you, my love
Cause we all want love, yeah we all want love
Yeah we all want love, yeah we all want love
My Whole Life Long lyrics - Delta Rae
I wanna love you
in the daylight
with the world all alive around us
Cause it's too hard
through a phoneline
to hold you the way I want to
So don't leave me
Say you need me
Have a little faith in what we've made
Just think about how strong our love has grown
Think about how good these seeds have sown
I will love you
I will love you my whole life long
Oh yea, oh oh, my baby
And I wanna love you in the darkness
With the night rolling in like thunder
Cause it's too easy baby
when I've spent so many nights alone
to forget how you pull me under
So don't leave me
Say you need me
Have a little faith in what we've made
Just think about how strong our love has grown
Think about how good these seeds have sown
I will love you (I will love you)
I will love you my whole life long (I will love you)
Oh yea, oh oh, my baby
Think about how strong our love has grown
Think about how good these seeds have sown
I will love you (I will love you)
I will love you my whole life long (I will love you)
Oh yea, oh, oh, my baby [x6]
My whole life long
Yea
My whole life
My whole life
Just think about how strong our love has grown
Think about how good these seeds have sown
I will love you
I will love you
My whole life long
After It All lyrics - Delta Rae
Oh, how I've waited
Oh, how I've dreamt of this
Old in a house made of wood
All the walls painted in gold
After it all, you look after me
All of these things that we made believe
Oh, how I've waited
Oh, how I've dreamt of this
Old in a house made of wood
All the walls painted in gold
After it all, you look after me
All of these things that we made believe
Holding On To Good lyrics - Delta Rae
Baby, I’m not waiting
I’m just holding on to good
It’s still early, it’s still more than I should
I’m off to Carolina
I’m gonna wear my mama’s boots
We may be parted, but that don’t cut us at the roots
’Cause in the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
In the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
It’s colder in November
The leaves are turning on the limbs
The color’s brightest just before the branches thin
And, yes, I still remember
But I am trying to begin
I met a new love and I’m growing into him
But in the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
In the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
I see a new flag rising on an old flagpole
A shotgun fired in the firing hole
I’ll let the snow keep falling till my world is white
I don’t need your hand tonight
But in the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
Is There Anyone Out There lyrics - Delta Rae
Days they pass too quickly
And nights they don't offer enough sleep
My body doesn't fit me
My dreams are like great ships lost at sea
And this heart grows tired
So far from where I started
And so far from where I want to be
The towers I watched when I was young
Are not as tall as I once believed
And this heart grows tired
Is there anyone out there?
You know me
I am the son
Of a lost country, of a new world
And we're born to run and we never look back
Children born tomorrow
May never know the language we speak
The wisdom that they borrow
Will hint at something buried too deep
But we carry the fire
Is there anyone out there?
You know me
I am the son
Of a lost country, of a new world
And we're born to run and we never look back
Oh, when we were young, we never knew
The pain that lay beyond, but then we grew
And all my heroes they were strange
But we all just want to be the same
But who will lead us when they are gone?
Who will save us when the wrong ones have won?
Is there anyone out there?
The Morning Comes lyrics - Delta Rae
Oh, oh. I found a good woman, I found a job that pays.
The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away.
But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised
Head held up, walking tall into each broken wave
And this heart grows tired
I found a good woman
I found a job that pays
The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away
But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised
Head held up walking tall into each breaking wave
'Cause the devil's in the details and he's taking his toll
Sending good men down the foot trails of some lost lonely souls
And I say oh, oh
Rain don't change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
So I'm working the graveyard, I don't sleep till it's light
Ain't calling in favors, I can't swallow my pride
And the bank's on a mission, they want to read me my rights
But they ever show up around here, they're going to be in for a fight
'Cause the devil's in my hometown and I ain't telling him no
'Cause it's my family, it's my love now, that I'm scared to let go
And I say oh, oh
Rain don't change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
Followed the track of my needle
Tried to be good to my people
So why's there no peace?
No break no relief
Can I be blamed if I'm angry?
Can I be saved if I'm barely clinging to hope?
I'm clinging to hope
When I say oh, oh
Rain don't change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
It always rains down on us
And like an old dog lying by a new gravestone
It's still our home
It's still our home
So if you ever feel like you are alone
After the night
The morning comes
If I Loved You lyrics - Delta Rae
If I loved you, life would be easy
There’d be no truth that I’d be scared of
I could walk through every valley
And you’d light me with all of your love
But I don’t love you, not like I want to
I don’t love you and that makes it hard
And every morning, I see how you watch me
And each night I know you feel it and it just breaks your heart
You’d make good money and come home early
And you’d kiss me and hold me each night
We would have children and they would be so beautiful
And we’d raise them and all would be right
But I don’t love you, not like you need it
I don’t love you, good as you are
And when I kiss you, I know that you can feel it
And I see it in your eyes, and it just breaks my heart
I wish to God I could change it, darling
Could make you the one
I will always have these regrets and wonder
What else I could have done
I will
’Cause if I loved you, I could be happy
I would make you the light of my world
I wouldn’t wait, love, I’d marry you tomorrow
And we’d make love and I’d be your girl
But I don’t love you, much as I want to
I don’t love you, no, it would be a lie
And you deserve love, you’re better than a good day
And you’ll find it, but just not in my eyes
’Cause it ain’t here love, no
And it just breaks my heart
Bottom Of The River lyrics - Delta Rae
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
If you get sleep or if you get none
(The cock's gonna call in the morning, baby)
Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun
(Red sun rises like an early warning)
The Lord's gonna come for your first born son
(His hair's on fire and his heart is burning)
So go to the river where the water runs
(Wash him deep where the tides are turning)
And if you fall...
And if you fall...
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight
(Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger)
Drive your son like a railroad spike
(Into the water, let it pull him under)
Don't you lift him, let him drown alive
(The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder)
Let that fever make the water rise
(And let the river run dry)
And I said
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way, a long long long way
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand, long way down, to the bottom of the
Hold my hand, it's a long way down, a long way down
Hold my hand, ooh baby, it's a long way down
Hold my hand, ooh baby, it's a long way down
Hold my hand, ooh baby, it's a long
Hold my hand, ooh baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
Country House lyrics - Delta Rae
In a country house with the windows lit by burning wicks
And the walls held up by wood and bricks and ghosts that wander through
An old man died, but the help won’t come till Monday next
And he’s gone to meet the architects of the only world he knew
And he’s lonesome
And the family mourned, at the wake he lay in front of them
Just as silent as he’d ever been to any young child’s eyes
And by buried skin, they shed their laughter and their tears
The pain of all those early years where innocence had died
But now they’re lonesome
Memorials that we may build
They won’t the holes forever fill
There is a deep and aching chill
That settles in our bones
’Cause we’re lonesome
Did you ever love somebody?
Did you ever lose someone?
’Cause we’re lonesome
In a country house with the windows all lit up
Surrounded lyrics - Delta Rae
I was born in the state where my mother was raised
With the children of soldiers, the children of slaves
And it’s too much to take, the mind how it breaks
The lessons the stories the shame and the glories and all
They linger ’round
Foxes and hounds
Our souls are bound
To older ground
Fell in love with a girl who’s found love before
In the hands and the hearts of the people she wore
She’s all that I see, but there’s things in between
The fractures and fissures of all of the pictures we leave
They linger ’round
Foxes and hounds
They’re with me now
Can’t lay them down
And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded
And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded
And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded by ghosts
So we keep them at home, the secrets and bones
The voices we hear so we’re never alone
They tease and they taunt, comfort and haunt
My mother and father and so many I’ll never know
They linger ’round
Foxes and hounds
My hands are bound
And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded
And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded
And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded by ghosts
Dance In The Graveyards lyrics - Delta Rae
When I die
I don’t want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
And while I’m alive
I don’t want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let’s dance in the graveyards
Gloria, like some other name we kept on calling ya and waiting for change
But I belong to all of your mysteries
And all of us, we’re meant for the fire, but we keep rising up and walking the wires
So when we go below don’t lose us in mourning
’Cause when I die
I don’t want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
And while I’m alive
I don’t want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let’s dance in the graveyards
Oh my love, don’t cry when I’m gone
I will lift you up, the air in your lungs
And when you reach for me, we’ll dance in the darkness
And we will walk beyond
Our daughters and sons, they will carry on
Like when we were young, and we will stand beside and breathe in their new life
’Cause when I die
I don’t want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
And while I’m alive
I don’t want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let’s dance in the graveyards
Fire lyrics - Delta Rae
I, I got my eye on you, I heard what you been saying
These rumors you spread ’round, they burn me down like flames and
We used to be friends, but that ain’t true now
You ain’t got my back, you’ve shown me that so many times
When I need help
Can’t call for help
’Cause no one comes
So I’m calling FIRE
It won’t be pretty, I ain’t no girl cried wolf, I’ll bring this whole damn city
They’ll come from miles around just to see how you cut me down
We used to be friends, but that ain’t true now
You poisoned the well, now I can’t tell who’s on my side
When I need help
Can’t call for help
’Cause no one comes
So I’m calling FIRE
Forgive The Children We Once Were lyrics - Delta Rae
We grew up in golden light
Every chance to get it right
What did we do with it?
It’s gone, what I had back then is gone
Can’t get it back again
Raised by kids who gave us names
These grown up children we became
Who spread the gossip and the shame
We waited
For love, for dreams in the night
For days to come when we’d be all right
I can’t remember why I did the things I did
I was just a kid
All our lives we feel this young
Sorry for the things we should have done
Sorry for the kids we pushed too far
Sorry now for all the lonely hearts who can’t move on because
We waited
For love, for dreams in the night
For days to come when we’d be all right
I can’t remember why I did the things I did
I was just a kid
All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded
All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us
People that I used to hate, I hardly remember
Forgive the children we once were
Unlike Any Other lyrics - Delta Rae
Here I am in this empty room
Miles away from you, if you ask me
I’d get in my car and I’d drive all night
I’m coming home to you, if you’ll have me
But no one needs to know
When you hold me, it’s unlike any other
I’ve been this girl so many times
Blurring all the lines like it’s easy
I can’t believe that I got this close again
Now I’m afraid to move, you might really see me
You don’t need to know
When you hold me, it’s unlike any other
No one needs to know
Hey, Hey, Hey lyrics - Delta Rae
Hey hey hey
Don’t you want to love me now baby?
Hey hey hey
Ain’t you thinking ’bout me?
I’ve been trying to get you off of my mind for some time now
Ain’t going well baby
Ain’t much room left baby ’tween these four walls
Our hearts have grown as heavy as cannonballs
I tried to love you babe and I’m trying still
I’ve always loved you babe and I always will
The neighbor’s dogs are chained, they don’t bark no more
Nothing happens here that’s worth yelling for
But there’d be music babe if we ever walked by
You know we’d wake the world if we only tried, and I say
Hey hey hey
Don’t you want to love me now baby?
Hey hey hey
Ain’t you thinking ’bout me?
I’ve been trying to get you off of my mind for some time now
Ain’t going well baby
Won’t you think about loving me?
Your window’s open babe, but your doors are closed
You want a breeze to sweep in and shake your bones
But the sky is clear as day and the air is calm
So come on out and play I’m not here that long
’Cause the times are tough now babe, but they’re ours to own
Make the most of it or just stay at home
I’ve come by once and I won’t be back again
Aw, who am I kidding babe, won’t you let me in?
Hey hey hey
Don’t you want to love me now baby?
Hey hey hey
Ain’t you thinking ’bout me?
I’ve been trying to get you off of my mind for some time now
Ain’t going well baby
Won’t you think about loving me?
New Days (Acoustic) lyrics - Delta Rae
Changed my name again
Let down my walls to let you in
Was fighting fire with sin
But I found a way to begin
Make right
Shed new light
On to these new days
Wash down on my young face
Lighting up the dark places
Softening the lines
And I love you
After all we've been through
I don't want you changing right before my eyes
Oh, but I know it's right
Oh, it's right
Whoa, fever's running high
Burned off the demons in my mind
I'm seeing with fresh eyes
What we had was built on
Broken promises and hard-won love
And I don't want to lose it in these new days
Wash down on my young face
Lighting up the dark places
Softening the lines
And I love you
After all we've been through
I don't want you changing right before my eyes
Oh, but I know it's right
Oh, it's right

The Morning Comes lyrics - Delta Rae
Oh, oh. I found a good woman, I found a job that pays.
The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away.
But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised
Head held up, walking tall into each broken wave
And this heart grows tired
I found a good woman
I found a job that pays
The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away
But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised
Head held up walking tall into each breaking wave
'Cause the devil's in the details and he's taking his toll
Sending good men down the foot trails of some lost lonely souls
And I say oh, oh
Rain don't change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
So I'm working the graveyard, I don't sleep till it's light
Ain't calling in favors, I can't swallow my pride
And the bank's on a mission, they want to read me my rights
But they ever show up around here, they're going to be in for a fight
'Cause the devil's in my hometown and I ain't telling him no
'Cause it's my family, it's my love now, that I'm scared to let go
And I say oh, oh
Rain don't change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
Followed the track of my needle
Tried to be good to my people
So why's there no peace?
No break no relief
Can I be blamed if I'm angry?
Can I be saved if I'm barely clinging to hope?
I'm clinging to hope
When I say oh, oh
Rain don't change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
It always rains down on us
And like an old dog lying by a new gravestone
It's still our home
It's still our home
So if you ever feel like you are alone
After the night
The morning comes
Darlin' If lyrics - Delta Rae
The light that shined upon us once
Is swiftly dimming now, and I'm
Afraid to watch us tip
Or else to watch us wither
The lips that once spoke truth to me
And brought white heat upon my mouth
Have gone cold at the source
The sun won't lift our winter
And I'm scared cause I can't seem to lift you darling
But each of us falling is not helping either stand
I just want you to know I was sincere
When I said I loved you all those years
And Darlin' if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free
And Darlin' if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free
The child that sleeps within your dreams
But never rested in your arms,
Is now a promise broke
A hurt that I won't share.
I asked you once to let it go
Shed these chains that pull us low.
But if I know you well
These are not words to bear.
But I'm tired cause there's no hoping left in our embraces
I'm watching my one life as it falls to shadows
That haunt your eyes
I will be strong I will be your wings
But I can't stay if our lives are bound to this
Darlin' if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free
Darlin' if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free
So young we started in love
Too old to start again now
So young we started in love
Too old to start again now
So young we started in love
Too old to start again now
Darlin' if
If I don't love you
Could I still
Could I carry your weight
Darlin' if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free
Darlin' if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free
Darling if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay
Darling if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay
Darling if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay
Darling if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay
Young And Pretty lyrics - Delta Rae
The sun had never fully bloomed
Until it washed through her dress in the hours for noon,
Sweeping every sadness from a quiet room, humming a song.
And fires had never felt so warm as when
The smoke rose from our chimneys in the early morn,
All the houses on the block were uniform
Reaching towards the sky in rivers.
You were so young and pretty
I saw us getting married
It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind
But from time to time, I remember it well
And I never felt so safe
As when he stood on the sidelines of that football game
Cheering out to the son who would carry his name
All of our own small victories
You were so young and pretty
I saw us getting married
It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind
But from time to time, I remember it well
So many loves that I've lost in time
Places that I'd like to live in for one more moment
And try to put on those shoes that I wore just once
Visit every bit of my old beauty
You were so young and pretty
I saw us getting married
It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind
But from time to time...
You were so young and pretty
I saw us getting married,
All these years
I've remembered it well
Ooh Caroline lyrics - Delta Rae
Last night I thought I heard the screen door slam and I thought about it
You'd run away and break my heart again, so I'm moving on
And driving downtown to a bottle and flashing lights
Where I'll meet a nice girl, she'll invite me to come inside
And she'll ask me, she'll ask me, she'll ask if I'm alright
But I'm not
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
No, no, no
Five years ago, I thought I found my wife
And I still believe it
But my time with you has been an uphill climb
Like when you hike your skirt up when you're standing in a service line
Or how your ring slips off after one too many glasses of wine
And you ask me, you ask me, you ask me to be kind
When I say,
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
And all the days I spent in Georgia
And all the guys I fought off for ya
Just to hold your hand
Without a back-up plan
For when a better man comes calling
And I'll say,
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, and I can't keep waiting for ya
Cause it's all the time, and I can't keep waiting for ya
Holding On To Good lyrics - Delta Rae
Baby, I’m not waiting
I’m just holding on to good
It’s still early, it’s still more than I should
I’m off to Carolina
I’m gonna wear my mama’s boots
We may be parted, but that don’t cut us at the roots
’Cause in the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
In the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
It’s colder in November
The leaves are turning on the limbs
The color’s brightest just before the branches thin
And, yes, I still remember
But I am trying to begin
I met a new love and I’m growing into him
But in the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
In the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
I see a new flag rising on an old flagpole
A shotgun fired in the firing hole
I’ll let the snow keep falling till my world is white
I don’t need your hand tonight
But in the morning, in the morning
Sometimes I think about the way you held me
Bless You (For The Good That's In You) lyrics - Delta Rae
(originally by Peggy Lee)
(from "Gangster Squad" soundtrack)
Bless you, oh... bless you, oh-oh...
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day
There's some good in everybody, we're just made that way
Good morning, oh miserable, you're not as bad as you make out
That frown don't set right, get right up and shout (yes, shout)
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every night
If you shine like a love light beacon, you'll make out all right
If any old evil comes around today
Turn it right around and chase it away
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day
Oh, oh... oh, oh-oh... oh, oh-oh...
You know that life is like an old steam engine
You can either go ahead, or in reverse
And the road ahead might look pretty rocky
But the road behind is bound to be worse
If you close your eyes, you won't see the sunshine
If you plug your ears, you won't hear a thing
And if you shut out your heart, you'll shut out the feeling
And there'll never be any reason to sing
(Bless you) yes, bless you (bless you) yes, bless you
Ooh, that frown don't set right, get right up and shout
(Get right up and shout)
Oh, bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every night
If you shine like a love light beacon, you'll make out all right
And if any old evil comes around today
Turn it right around and chase it away
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day
Bless you (oh, bless you); yes, bless you (yes, bless you)
Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day
Do You Ever Dream? lyrics - Delta Rae
Do you ever dream?
Do you ever see the future when you look at me?
A little house in the mountains surrounded by the evergreens
A homemade meal and a couple kids
Or is just the moment?
Is it the sex and the comfort and the laughs that keep you coming back?
I hate to ruin the romance baby but I have to ask
Is there something I can't see?
Do you ever dream?
Do you ever dream?
Or do you want to leave this world while you're still young and free?
Live on the edge and leave falling in love to girls like me
And you'd give me just enough
But you never call, you never share
You're never wrong, and it's not fair
I had a vision of who I'd be
And baby I'm not there
Do you ever dream?
Do you ever dream when the nights get lonely?
You're gonna wish that I was there
Do you ever dream how it's gonna hurt baby
When there's nobody that cares
About the stories that you tell?
Do you even get that far?
'Cause I've been living in this moment
And it's all falling apart
Do you ever dream?
Hold on to something you can't see
Give me a reason not to leave
Heart Won't Break lyrics - Delta Rae
I could see it coming a thousand miles away
I keep on running, but this ain't something I'll escape
You're gonna leave me, you say it's better this way
But I know its gonna hit like a hard rain falling on an open field
There ain't no cover, when you say its over you can't tell me how to feel
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
If you say those words, your work is done
And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry
And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye
'Cause my heart will never break the way you want
I try to stay distracted, but the days are too long
Baby, were you acting every night when we were alone?
Felt like magic but it was all just a dream
So you try to let me down easy say you wanna stay friends
Well you can turn the pages of my story, babe
But you can't tell me how it ends
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
If you say those words, your work is done
And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry
And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye
'Cause my heart will never break the way you want
So if you're reaching out
In a month from now
As I'm starting to mend
And you say you made
Such a big mistake
And "could I take you back again?"
No
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
If you say those words, your work is done
And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry
And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye
'Cause my heart will never break the way you want
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
'Cause my heart won't break the way you want
Hitch A Ride lyrics - Delta Rae
Arms like a scarecrow
Hitchin' for a ride
Skin like a leather tomb
Eyes like kilns in the rivers of dry
Dust under a paper moon
It runs hot in the summer in the Piedmont Plains
Meet the devil in the morning sun
And you take his heat
A hundred hours in the week
Til he lets you see the autumn come
It's enough to drive a young man insane
Make a woman wanna run away
I met Jack McKent
He was a handsome man
Was my ticket to a better place
Where do we go when the sun stays high?
Where do we go when we close our eyes?
Where do we go when we feel this tide?
Where do we go?
Well we hitch a ride
Well Jack and me we never left the heat
Got pregnant in the early spring
But when Jack got mean
He'd raise his hand to me
And I never could predict his swing
And on the hottest night
In the full moon light
He stole the one good thing we'd made
And like a dandelion with the feather's flyin'
The wind pulled my heart away
When do you know to put a sick dog down?
Where do you go when you cross that line?
Ain't no secrets in a southern town
Where do we go?
There are children's bodies buried in the grave
No songs to carry all of my love
And I'll run from the sin, and the love, and the devil
And judgement from the Lord above
And I'll leave my fate in the hands of strangers
Every driver on the great highway
I'm a flair to the night
A black widow spider
Another orphan on the interstate
Where do we go when the sun stays high?
Where do we go when we close our eyes?
Where do we go when we feel this tide?
Where do we go?
Well we hitch a ride!
We're all running from something
(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Leaving someone behind
(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Always another car coming
(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
When we hitch a ride
(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
We're all picking up strangers
(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Just trust the look in their eye
We don't know we're in danger
When we hitch a ride
(Hitch a ride, go, go)
No Dry Eye In The Chapel lyrics - Delta Rae
Reverend Riley knows he's prone to ramble
Reads the Bible like it's War and Peace
He goes on and on
You can't help but yawn
Even the righteous start to fall asleep
When he's 'bout to lose that front-row faithful
Pulls an ace out of his sleeve
Knows they need a hymn
So he shouts "Amen! Fire up the organ, Irene!"
She starts hammering glory mountain
Until there's no dry eye in the chapel
No one sitting in the pews
Hands up high all clapping
When Mama starts singing Hallelu-
Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!
No dry eye in the chapel
When Mama gets to singing the truth
Now mama's more than just a Sunday singer
She'll play anybody's wedding or wake
Long-shot, shotguns, third-time's-the-charm ones
Everybody's gonna get saved
When they kiss the bride and the [?]
There'll be no dry eye in the chapel
No one sitting in the pews
Hands up high all clapping
When Mama starts singing Hallelu-
Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!
No dry eye in the chapel
When Mama gets to singing the truth
Then late one night the Devil came calling
And Mama waved him right inside
She sang "Great Ball of Fire" like a gospel choir
And the Devil just started to cry
There'll be no dry eye in the chapel
No one sitting in the pews
Hands up high all clapping
When Mama starts singing Hallelu-
Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!
No dry eye in the chapel
When Mama gets to singing the truth
There'll be no dry eye in the chapel
When Mama gets to singing the truth
Come on, Mama!
One Good Cry lyrics - Delta Rae
Gonna light a few candles and put some old records on
Finally open that rainy day bottle of wine
Gonna lose myself dancing 'round to our favorite song
That's my way of saying goodbye
I'm giving you one good cry
That's all you'll get from me
Soon as these tears all dry
Baby my hands are clean
I could go on and on
But you ain't worth my time
I'm giving you one
You only get one good cry
Gonna revel in every regret, every memory
Gonna let you take hold of me one last time
By tomorrow morning, I'll be pouring coffee and you'll just be history
I'll be strong, I'll move on
But tonight
I'm giving you one good cry
That's all you'll get from me
Soon as these tears all dry
Baby my hands are clean
I could go on and on
But you ain't worth my time
I'm giving you one
You only get one good cry
'Cause you'll be long gone
Where you belong
Yeah but right now
All I need
All I need
Is one good cry
That's all you'll get from me
Soon as these tears all dry
Baby my hands are clean
I could go on and on
But you ain't worth my time
I'm giving you one
You only get one good cry
I'm giving you one
You only get one good cry
Stand-Ins lyrics - Carrie Welling & Delta Rae
Better than a dozen roses
More than a couple drinks
On a sunny desert island, baby
You'll be all I need
If another late night caller
Comes knocking on my door
For instant gratification
I won't give it out no more
I used to call them all by name, now I call them
Stand-Ins wasting my time
If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine
So come and claim your ground and save me now
From all of those Stand-Ins wearing me out
One time I thought I found you
Good thing I let him go
Cause you would never treat me badly, baby
When that feeling comes I'll know
And you're the reason why I call them
Stand-Ins wasting my time
If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine
So come and claim your ground and save me now
From all of those Stand-Ins wearing me out
To that High School sweetheart that I first took home
To that New York drummer I should've left alone
That painter, that surfer, that Wall Street banker
To that Jesus lover that called me he's savoir
Well, I call them...
Stand-Ins wasting my time
If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine
So come and claim your ground and save me now
From all of those Stand and Ins
From all of those Stand and Ins
Still Waters lyrics - Delta Rae
Still waters run deep and far love
I dreamt of rivers that carry our spirits
Through nights of starlight
Through days in the desert
Through pain and glory
They're carving our story
Through stampedes on the prairie
To a hush on the ocean
We keep on going
'Cause no one ever really dies
Hey ya
Oh
Hey ya
Oh
Crisp and frozen
Paint peels off the bones of
That kudzu captive
The voices of Baptists
Rung higher than the ceiling
Swung low sweet believing
If one man is risen
Then no one ever really dies
Hey ya
Oh
Hey ya
Oh
Dancing atoms
Break free from the stratum
Of our weak predictions
Big bang contradictions
It's pieced together
Changes with the weather
But we dig forever
'Cause no one ever really dies
Hey ya
Oh
Hey ya
Oh
(Still waters)
Hey ya
No one ever really dies
(Still waters)
Hey ya
No one ever really dies
(Still waters)
Hey ya
'Cause no one ever really dies
Hey ya
'Cause no one ever really dies
Walk With Me lyrics - Delta Rae
Tonight's someone will hurt someone
Forgive, forget, that ain't no fun
Another heart falls off the tree
But freedom's just 'bout breaking free
A gold dust woman read it in my cards
There's a long parade of us with broken hearts
But if you walk with me
Baby, I'll stand by you
If you walk with me
Take my hand, I'll stand by you
Hand in hand, I'll walk with you
We all walk down these streets of pain
Cause we all woe, regrets and shame
The songs we sing just ain't the same
And then our dreams just drift away
A gold dust woman read it in my cards
There's a long parade of us with broken hearts, yeah
But if you walk with me
Baby, I'll stand by you
If you walk with me
Take my hand, I'll stand by you
Hand in hand, I'll walk with you
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
It's hard to be brave with all that we go through
But it all rides on whatever road we choose, yeah
And if you walk with me (walk with me)
Baby, I'll stand by you (I'll be right beside you, baby)
If you walk with me (walk with me)
Baby, I'll stand by you
I said, if you walk with me (walk with me)
Baby, I'll stand by you (the road is getting long, yeah)
If you walk with me (walk with me)
Baby, I, I'll stand by you (I ain't never gonna leave you, baby)
If you walk with me (walk with me)
Oh... (I'll stand by you)
If you walk with me (walk with me)
Baby, I'll stand by you
Take my hand, I'll walk with you
You Can Tell Him lyrics - Delta Rae
If you want to see the man who broke my heart
You can tell him by the eyes that pierce the dark
You can tell him by the laugh that fills the room
You can tell him by the arms that feel like home
Tried to tell him he's the only one I want
Tried to tell him he's the sun that brings the dawn
When I'm dreaming
And now he's telling me he's leaving
If you want to see the girl who took my place
You can tell her by the smile that's on her face
You can tell her by the way they're dancing slow
That he loves her and that she knows
I could tell her that it probably won't last
Be as jealous of her future as my past
But there's no healing
When he's telling me he's leaving
He's leaving
He's leaving
He's leaving
He's leaving me with no answers
Leaving me with no doubt
Let me feel a love I can't ever live without
And he's leaving me with no shelter
Leaving me with no air
Every morning I'm surprised that I'm still breathing
So if you want to know the reason I went home
I could tell you that I'm trying to move on
I could tell you that I need a change of scenery
But really
I don't want to see the man who broke my heart
I don't want to see those eyes that pierce the dark
I turn a corner and he's there again and baby I'm still reeling
I don't want to see the new girl in his life
I don't want to see the friends who picked their sides
I don't want to come face to face with love that I'm still feeling
So if you see the man I love despite our reason
You can tell him that I'm leaving
I'm leaving
