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
