I Swear I'm Okay
I throw on an old t-shirt
And your favorite pair of shorts I bought
Down on Virtue Avenue.
And I take a good, long look around
At everything that I've become
Without you.
But I'm not broken
And I'm still flyin'
And I just want you to know
That I'm doing just fine here on my own.
I'm running out the front door
And racing to my beat up car
So I can drive fast and feel the wind.
I still smile when I think of us
But I don't even feel the need
Without you.
And I'm not broken
And I'll keep flyin'
Because I just wanted you to know
That I'm doing fine here on my own.
My apartment is cold when I come home
And sometimes I slip a
It was a beautiful night,
The night we lost at any cost.
Spoken in fleshy dreams
And fake movie scenes.
I held on tight hoping I was home,
That I had found my place
On this broken road.
I promised to never let him go
If he never let go of me.
He pulled me close
And his lips pressed my forehead,
And he let me go.
How do I forgive you,
When you've done it a million times?
I've forgiven you once already,
And I'm running low on trust.
You throw it in my face every day
That you all think you're better.
The quiet ones will always get you,
And I'll show you I'm smarter.
It's hard to forgive,
Even harder to forget.
You claim you're there and back,
But I haven't been there yet.
Forgiving makes things worse,
Lying without honor.
If I stay here right now,
One day I'll go farther.
We had this talk only a few days ago,
And you told me you'd never lie.
But hearing talk through our old friends,
You lied to my face again.
I still wonder how you

Driving Out to Nowhere
When it's all that I've become
And even you know it's true
I don't care about anything anymore
Except, of course, for you
Because you always stand
There next to me,
Even when my days look grim.
And you'll never leave my side,
I know
Even when our chances look slim.
I push you farther away from me
But you always stay right there
I jump around to get your attention
And you don't smile while you stare
Sometimes you come to me in the night
I crave your touch in the dark
You fill me with love I fear I can't give
And when you're gone, everything seems so stark
These crimes I've committed,
Prosecute me of further crime.
The days when I thought I was living,
What I didn't think was our time.
The clock keeps beating faster,
And my heart is right in tune.
Your kisses are getting sparser,
And you'll move away too soon.
While she's lying on the other side-
We all know she's there.
She pulls off her antics,
And everybody stares.
He's lying closer to her now,
And he's turning his back on me.
I'm running out for a cigarette,
Somewhere far where I can't see.
Feeling short of breath now;
Running far and running fast.
All that I can say is:
He isn't the first and he won't be the last.
You say that now we're cool,
But my phone never plays your ring.
"I meant to call ..." you say again,
As if that means anything.
I sit alone and wonder
If you're wondering about me.
I've done just about all I can,
And I've made my solemn plea.
There are things that you still hide from me.
And things I wish you would say.
I know I messed this up so bad,
And I'm reminded every day.
But will things ever be the same?
Can you still love me like before?
My heart breaks harder every time
I see you walking out the door.
It's the broken hearted songs on the radio
That hit me where it hurts the most.
I know I could give up right

Well you filled up my head,
With so many lies.
Twisted my heart
Til something snapped inside.
I'd like to give it one more try
but my give a damn's busted.
You can crawl back home
say you were wrong,
stand out in the yard
cry all night long.
Well go ahead and water my lawn.
My give a damn's busted.
I really wanna care,
I wanna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper...
Nope...
Sorry...
Nothin'
You can say you've got issues.
You can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents fault,
After all you didn't pick em
Well maybe Oprah's got time to listen.
My give a damn's busted.
(*Well let me get this straight now)
