Was I wrong
Or did I do right
Bringing up another thing that’s sure to make us cry
In these hard times
There’s no shortage in supply
Of stuff to keep us up at night
But I couldn’t let it sit there
In the silence that you made
As you took your time looking for the perfect word or phrase
I don’t need your poetry
I don’t want a sugarcoat
I just want the words caught in your throat
I don’t always wanna be the one who’s asking what is wrong babe
Tell me did you think that you were doing us a favor keeping
Everything inside
Let it out babe show your shadows to the light
I will see what I don’t hear
My imagination will confirm my wildest fears
I might toss and turn all night
Wondering if you are alright
It doesn’t matter that you’re right here
Cause I know this feeling
Baby I’ve been here before
If it wasn’t you then it was someone else who I adored
Who tried to hide
Covered pain up with a smile
Insisted everything was fine
I don’t always wanna be the one who’s asking what is wrong babe
Tell me did you think that you were doing us a favor keeping
Everything inside
Let it out babe show your shadows to the light

Haven’t felt the urge to take my pill
Though it may be the bullet that saves
Think I’ll wait another day
And with that in mind I walk into the night
Leaving my doubts behind
Cause I feel fine
So I must be fine
You see there’s nothing wrong with one more sip
Pass it here I can take a hit
There’s nothing wrong with one more sip
Pass it here I can take a hit
Baby do you know how wrong you are
Maybe I should have knownI was stumbling tumbling down
Too many hits from that bottle
Trouble was all around
But I could not see and I could not believe
This would make me seize
Not see and I would not believe
Anything could make me seize
Singing nothing wrong with one more sip
Pass it here I can take a hit
There’s nothing wrong with one more sip
Pass it here I can take a hit
This doesn’t end in a headache and tylenol
This ends in a hospital
You see there’s nothing subtle about the way I fall
You’ll know and you’ll seeI can move my hands
I can tell you my name I can look at the stars
Point to the east
Dance into your arms
Let me live my life, let me live my full
Cause I feel fine, I feel fine, I feel fine, I feel fine...

ask me again

How are you doing?
Ask me again
This time I’ll tell you
Won’t say fine with a grin
Give me a second, and I’ll let you in
Can’t promise pretty
I can’t promise easy
All I have is a feeling
A weight inside me screaming it might not get better
Can you hold that, baby?
Can you hold that, hold me?
Let’s make it better
I weigh the words
And I feel their edges
See them rise up
Turn into fence
Maybe I don’t make much sense
Maybe this should live inside my head
Baby what’s the use
What’s the use in keeping quiet
Let your voice come alive
Lay your worries down by my side
Can you do that, baby?
Can you do that
Can you do that, baby?
Do it for me
Let’s make it better
Let’s make it better

I wake up early
Make my coffee slow
Pour my morning in a cup
When I drink I know
I know that I’ve been living In a lie of your design
Three years in I see the cracks
And I know I don’t need I don’t need you
Keeping me in line I don’t want you making up my mind
Step by step I am walking making my own path
Leaving you behind
What did I miss
Locked inside your gaze
Stuck atop a pedestal
Scared to move or make mistakes
You had me feeling so alone
Blind and deaf to anyone
Telling me I did not need I didn’t need you
Keeping me in line didn’t want you making up my mind
Step by step I am walking making my own path
Leaving you behind
You will never be enough you will always be too much (Don’t listen)
Don’t sit and take it
Days go by
Without a trace of you
And in the space you leave behind
I can tend my garden I can finally say
Without a shadow of a doubt
That when you come around again
Won’t mistake you for a friend
So come in close and listen
Cause I want you to know I don’t need you
Keeping me in line I don’t want you making up my mind
Step by step I am walking making my own path
Leaving you behind

You and me
Standing under poplar trees
Over roots that take us down
To what we lost and what could still be found
So take my hand
And ask if I remember when
Your visits in the summertime
Could stretch a day out along the line
We could sing our favorite song a dozen times
Living inside of the familiar rhyme
Loving the sound of your voice with mine
In you I found a home
Last night a dream
You were living overseas
Cut off by an ocean blue
And nothing I could say was reaching you
So when I wake I listen closely when you say
“Come and take a walk with me
Come and talk underneath the trees”
We could sing our favorite song a dozen times
Living inside of the familiar rhyme
Loving the sound of your voice with mine
You know I’ve missed you so
Don’t waste time
All my life you’ve been by my side
Can’t lose you now we’re 25
Over and over I will remind you how I love you so

This is not a love song
Babe I’m not singing for you
Ain’t gonna cry your name in vain
Not when my whole world
Has got to change
Now I sing for me
Sing for my mother
Sing for my sisters near and far
When I sing this song
I sing for better days
Will you sing this song?
And we’ll make a better day
