I'm picking up the phone and putting down this pen

To let you know I'm writing you again

But it's not the same the names have all changed

And my best friend and ex girlfriend aren't to blame

I did this myself it's a sick cry for help

But it doesn't mean the situation's clean

Additional stress that will come from the press

The mess I made putting my life on parade

Now the writers can say "we were right all along

You can't make someone love you with your songs"



And you don't know me

But you owe me

A little time to find some piece of mind

And when you hold me

I'm not so lonely

It will be difficult to leave this life behind



My sister always said that hardships come in two's

A funeral and break up afternoon

There is really no good time for anyone to leave

In a couple weeks I'll get my chance to grieve

And hopefully by then my mind will be all clear

And I can cry for the reasons that I'm there

Not for the all things that are happening at home

The church was filled but I was still alone

But this is not a ploy to gain some sympathy

I made this bed and now it's time to sleep



And you don't know me

But you owe me

A little time to find some piece of mind

And when you hold me

I'm not so lonely

It will be difficult to leave this life behind



Its such a shame that the blame has somehow shifted to you

We're both aware through the years that I've been messed up too

And I shouldn't talk I should stop I'm digging deeper holes

It just feels strange that I sing songs for another girl
