LOVE AND WAR
Jul 28, 2009
I don't know what you meant
I just know what you said
So wash the venom from your words
Or say good-bye and leave it
We live on this battlefield
That was our home sweet home
I built it up, you tore it down
And raised barbed wire fences
To fight me in the trenches
You can cut me - you can't cut me down
I call you honey - you call me dirt
I try to kiss you - you try to hurt
I wave a white flag - you wave a gun
I can't surrender - you won't let me
The fires burn on, the doves are dead
So many scars remain
I don't know why you went wrong
I just know where you're going
I call you honey - you call me dirt
I try to kiss you - you try to hurt
I wave a white flag - you wave a gun
I can't surrender - you won't let me

A LITTLE ROMANCE
Jul 28, 2009
We went out once - You stayed the night
We went out again - And got into a fight
We went out again and never again
The times we had weren't so great
I'll get along just fine without your face
Without your face
Without your face
I can't stay with you - I don't wanna get stuck
But I still call you up 'cause I still wanna...
Things I felt you do almost drove me insane
We broke my bed that night - I guess I shouldn't complain
We did it again and never again
I heard you moan another guy's name
But I got what I wanted so get outta my face
Get off my case
Get off my face
I'm not trying to be low - Don't wanna see you no more
I'm not trying to be cold - Don't wanna do you no more
Don't call, don't call me at home
Don't call, don't call me no more
Just go away - Just go away - Just go away
Just go away - Just go away - Once more, okay

come back
Jul 28, 2009
Is she coming back - I don't think so
It seemed pretty final when she walked out the door
She always said she would leave
But I believe it this time
'Cause when she left, the suitcase she had was mine
Yeah, we had a problem - everybody does
But I'm the only thing that our problem was
I did too much, but not enough in hopes that we would last
Moved too far ahead, and left her in the past
And now she's gone
I couldn't see she was the one
But I'm so much smarter now
I've got to win her back somehow
Maybe she'll come back if I promise to change
There is so much in my life I'll rearrange
And if I clean up, straighten out, settle down, sober up
Would she want more or will that be enough
I realized too late that she was so damn good
And did more for me than anybody should
She stood by me when I couldn't stand myself
And now she's gone
And now she's gone
Yeah, I know she was the one
But I'm so much better now
I wanna get her back somehow
She's not coming back - this I know
I saw her in the park about a week or two ago
She was laughing and kissing and holding another man
And they had matching rings on their hands

YOU ONLY LOVE ME TODAY
Jul 28, 2009
YOU ONLY LOVE ME TODAY
I can see that look in your eyes
I know what you don't want to say
If you can't say it without a lie
Then you'd better just go away
I always give you what you want
I turn around, you disappear
You've got someone else on your mind
And like a fool, I'm waiting here
Why should I wait forever
When you never want to stay
Why should I love you forever
When you only love me today
I can't see what you want anymore
I know I should set myself free
I don't want to just walk away
You've meant too much to me
You don't want to feel the same
Why won't you tell me so
If this is a game, you're winning
And it's killing me
I'm not gonna wait forever
And I won't let you stay
I'm gonna love you for never
'Cause you only love me today
