It's so cliché how much I didn't say before I watched you drive away Taillights fading and all that, don't think you're ever coming back A rubber band behind my hand sitting where the blood pumps up my veins Stain of pain I try to hide behind, split-second sting, you're off my mind Were we ever meant to be here anyway? Was it real or did I waste those hundred days? Surrounded by my love, I sing a song to what it was Sun rises and it falls a hundred times Ashamed to say that at the time of day when the numbers are the same Breathing prayers I'd see you walking backwards one of these days You walked out and that was when you left me twisting in the wind Now I'd like if you'd give me back the warmth you took away from me again Were we ever meant to be here anyway? Was it real or did I waste those hundred days? Surrounded by my love, I sing a song to what it was Sun rises and it falls a hundred times I know you better than you even know yourself I'm not just here to get you off and let you put me on a shelf By the time you've got it all together, it'll already be too late Who knew eternal love had an expiration date? You give me the type of feeling people have written books about But you know I'm not a not a novelist, so I sing my feelings out I've put pen to paper, then pick to strings a million times before Yet again, the same old song: She wants less and I want more Were we ever meant to be here anyway? Was it real or did I waste those hundred days? Surrounded by my love, I sing a song to what it was Sun rises and it falls a hundred times I know you better than you even know yourself I'm not just here to get you off and let you put me on a shelf By the time you've got it all together, it'll already be too late Who knew eternal love had an expiration date? I know you better than you even know yourself I'm not just here to get you off and let you put me on a shelf, no Well, look who's got it all together, but it's already way too late You knew eternal love had an expiration date

You never know when Lady Luck is gonna tell you that your number's up So pay attention and pray you make it home No time to dodge flying through the dark, and before you know it everything's falling apart And you're busted, broken, dizzy, and alone My world turned suddenly upside-down and before I knew it I was being thrown to the ground Tumbling for seconds that faded into hours I couldn't see what was in my path until it was too late and I was moving too fast And I came to rest by the guardrail in the flowers Oh, these unfriendly winds have worsened Now I'm spinning at the mercy of physics and fortune But I'm bleeding so I know this must be real Sparks fly as Charlotte sails away, and the pain lights the night up bright as the day And my heartbeat drowns out the sound of asphalt on steel And I'm struggling just to breathe, to crawl, to kneel You never know when Lady Luck is gonna tell you that your number's up, so Drink the poison and pray you're not alone You wake up one day, you're 25, thinking hurting's just part of being alive Flesh is easy, but it's harder to numb the bone Mama called Davy, said "Davy come quick! My baby's in the hospital and he's really sick!" If friends can't watch you die, what are they for? High as a kite, having a medicine ball, denying that this was happening at all Cancer was the answer, but I wanted so much more Oh, these unfriendly winds have worsened Now I'm spinning at the mercy of physics and fortune But with each drop of morphine, I forget that it's real Denial as my innocence starts to fade, crying for my youth and loves gone away My heartbeat promises me there's time to heal Oh, shuffle up the deck; this has got to be a misdeal These unfriendly winds still blow and I'm still struggling to let it go But I don't wake up in a cold sweat anymore I'd like to think that it's all in the past, but the plastic in my chest tells me "not so fast" Maybe the healing's never over; maybe that's what suffering's for But it's easier with a brother who's tasted death before

If she could see what I have seen and if she knew what I knew Then she never would've done what I just watched her do, but It's okay. Just walk away The Pack has held a meeting, yeah the matter's been discussed And out feeling of acceptance she's replaced with disgust, so It may sound bad, but you know we're glad to see her go You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you walk away (Let her watch you walk away) Trust me dude, she's bad news; we never liked her anyway (We never liked that bitch anyway) "Life don't have to be that hard," we both know that's what Mama would say You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you, watch you walk away Well, we know from past experience the bottle's not your friend But you've got Jesus and Chewbacca until the end, so Just lean on us when the times get rough Sometimes people come into your life to help you learn and grow But then others only wanna have you under control, well As a great man once said, "Homey don't play that." You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you walk away (Let her watch you walk away) Trust me dude, she's bad news; we never liked her anyway (We never liked that bitch anyway) "Life don't have to be that hard," we both know that's what Mama would say You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you, watch you walk away (guitar solo) You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you walk away (Let her watch you walk away) Trust me dude, she's bad news; we never liked her anyway (We never liked that bitch anyway) "Life don't have to be that hard," we both know that's what Mama would say You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you, watch you walk away You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you walk away (Let her watch you walk away) Trust me dude, she's bad news; we never liked her anyway (We never liked that bitch anyway) "Life don't have to be that hard," we both know that's what Mama would say You don't need that bitch, so let her watch you, watch you walk away Let her watch you walk away Watch you walk away Let her watch you walk away

I lost my job today, I don't know what to say Bossman told me that he don't need me around here anymore Tossed me out the door, now I'm in this bar waiting Waiting for whatever comes next I don't know what to do, but sit here and sing the blues Barkeep you know this tune, so won't you Turn around and help me when I say Pass the whiskey, let it hit me Drown my sorrows in that sweet amber Tennessee burn Pass the whiskey, it whispers to me "Tomorrow is another day, boy, maybe it'll be your turn" Tomorrow I'll take my turn I lost my love today, my baby's gone away Left me a not saying she ain't stickin' 'round here anymore Oh, what can I do but scream and cry to you 'Cause there's got to be somebody out there Who understands me when I say Pass the whiskey, I wanna feel it hit me Drown my sorrows in that sweet amber Kentucky burn Pass the whiskey, it whispers to me "Boy aren't you tired of this dizzy dance? When are you ever gonna learn?" When am I gonna learn? When am I gonna learn? I lost my mind today, I can't carry on this way It seems at every turn I'm losing, and I can't help but wonder if this is all my fault Joe down at the liquor store greets me by name when I walk through that door He begs me to take it slow 'cause he can't stand to see me like this anymore But then again, Jack and Jim have always been my best friends Like no one else, they know exactly what I need, so I scream Pass the whiskey, let it hit me I drown my sorrows in that sweet amber Tennessee burn Pass the whiskey, I hear it screaming to me "Close your eyes boy, enjoy the ride 'cause you're never gonna learn" Pass the whiskey, I wanna feel it hit me I drown my sorrows in that sweet amber Kentucky burn Pass the whiskey, I hear it screaming to me "Close your eyes boy, enjoy the ride 'cause you're never gonna learn" I'm never gonna learn
