lyrics

I meant it when I said
You're the only woman in my head
You were there when I fell to pieces
You were there when I rose to the throne
You were there when I said I love you,
Now leave me alone

I wake up each afternoon
Into the mess I've created
But rather than sit there and take it
I drink it away

Do you believe yourself when you write
I must think it's not worth the fight?
'Cuz I've got a big ol' collection
Of songs I can't play

It's just too hard
To face you with my heart
So I used my mind
I thought I was being kind
But you were too mired to see
It was just me being me

Lately, when we speak
It's a cocktail of honesty
And bitterness and missin' the skin
Of the one you belong to
It ain't like we should just throw it to the dogs
But you're quick to the trigger and I'm slow to the draw
Forgive me my most recent faux pas
But I'm still in love

Do you believe when you write
I must think it's not worth the fight
'Cuz I been thinkin' the hand
Don't fit the glove

It's just too hard
To face me with your heart
So you used your guile and devilish ways
Because you're in denial and you are afraid
I thought you had made me to play the fool
But it was just you being you
