From the recording Songs I Wrote While My Family Slept
Lyrics
All the good times seem like yesterday
Saw the warning but I didn’t have the strength to walk away
I guess I only got myself to blame
We called it love….but it’s only just a cruel twist of fate
Like a fool I let her in my head
She said “to trust her”
But she shoved it in the oven instead
All the hours that I tried
All the months of: “give it time”
Another year of her lies
Now I know, I should have let her go
With every word she’s twist’n
With every spoon she’s bend’n
Just another// grave she’s dig’n
Now I know, I should have let her go
God I tried to make her happy
With every attempt…it just kept me feel’n sad and lonely
Now she stands like judge and jury
In my defense, there has never been a cure for crazy
She was clearly on a a mission
With her crooked tongue
She was tearing out my nervous system… “And now”
Than one day I thought I had enough
I know it’s sick…
But I swear she was just… warming up
Stone Wall’n ,Steam Roll’n, Soul Crush’n
Now I know I should have let her go
Ball Bust’n, Back Break’n, Brain Wash’n
Now I know I should have let her go
Train Wreck’n, Tear Fake’n, Trash talk’n
Now I know I should have let her go
Fast Talk’n, Fault Find’n, Freak Fly’n
God Knows I should have let her go
