listen to the mp3
she finally found a reason to dig out her magazines
every scrap that she has saved since she turned 14
now the last 10 years are narrowed to 10 days
to put a check by the only plan she’s made
all her friends are coming so i guess i won’t be there
i still think i love her; not enough to show i care
i won’t see the dress or have to shake his hand
i won’t kiss her cheek, leave her lips for another man
she’ll end up unhappy
in some run down trailer park
and i will be the memory
she clings to in the dark
the articles she’s read tell her how to love
he says he’ll stay even when push comes to shove
if he lays a hand on her i hope she runs away
my door is always open – if she wanted she could stay
but for now she’s gonna
find a borrowed blue
and tell herself her dreams are coming true

listen to the mp3
not tonight,not tonight!
please GOD not tonight!
i’m so scared, i’m so tired
i won’t put up a fight
i will dream of hopelessness
i’m tortured, i’m tortured!
these thoughts, they are true
if only i could call in a rescure
where would that leave me then?
right now, right now
they’re in love, they are wed
right now she’s crawling into his bed
oh save me FROM MY OWN MIND!
these nightmares
i know they are real
i’m so sorry i know
this is not how i should feel
but i’ll never see the promised land.
i’m so sorry, so sorry
i’ll never do it again
that’s a lie, you and i
both know this is not the end
the end of hopelessness
right now, right now
God, i hate imagination
can’t You send a distraction?
because I…
I’ve suffered enough
yes, i know i was wrong
i hoped and i believed
and lost it all
i lost it all tonight
it’s not that i still need her
it’s just that i see
all this time i’ve wasted
so foolishly
and now where can i get away?
i wish her the best
at least better than me
right now i wish
i could get some sleep
without thinking
he’s making her so happy

i haven’t seen snow in texas in ten years
but this winter seems cold enough without you here
i don’t know why you have to get married
during the holidays
’cause i gave you my valentine’s
and my 4th of july
now you’ll spend christmas
with some other guy
i guess i really saw this coming, i know
i always thought you fall for me like
texas snow….eventually
i don’t know why you think that guy
can give what i cannot
’cause i gave you my valentine’s
and my 4th of july
now you’ll spend christmas
with some other guy

listen to the mp3
watch the water claim the valley
hear all the rainmaker’s brag
we finally got what we asked for
now we can’t give it back
like a scar on young skin
we will pay for our mistakes
thunder rumbles
as the last time crumbles
nature is more thief than giver
another town joins the river

listen to the mp3
i made you cry
we said goodbye
i feel sick inside
cause i break you down
he fixes your frown
i need some place to hide
i send you to his shoulder
because i love you so
i tell you when you’re wrong
i think that you should know
but i’m sorry…don’t go.
he wipes your tears
he calms your fears
you trust beyond your doubt
that he is your man
but you understand
everything i’m talking about
