Like I wasn’t her only boy

I tossed those words in the fire

Watched them burn learning chords

Turned the ache into rhymes

Until I didn’t hurt, no not today

Or something like that anyway

Verse Two

She left a note in the morning rain

Eight words in her Tuesday script

You’re too much babe

Gotta run anywhere but you

I tossed those words into the howling wind

Sat with Georgia til morning

Plucked her strings with bleeding fingers

She’s gone and I’m better off

Poured another drink, cause nothing lingers

Or something like that anyway

Chorus

Or something like that anyway

That’s what we say when it hurts too much

Hide behind our pretty masks

So no one sees the demons

I’ve been leaving before I’m left

Since I learned that’s how it goes

Convinced I’ll die alone

Or something like that anyway

Bridge

You told me something real

Like you already knew my song

Then took it back
