Cleaning the closet, emptying the drawers Packing boxes, sweeping up the floors Seems like yesterday we moved in here together And now I'm moving out alone Where did your love for me go If you find it will you please let me know I won't say it was a waste of time But I'm not waiting for you to find it So when you do will you let me know She said we can't live like this And the truth is what it is It's not about what we were Or what we were supposed It's only about what we are now Where did your love for me go If you find it will you please let me know I won't say it was a waste of time But I'm not waiting for you to find it So when you do will you let me know When I call she doesn't take the phone I just want to know how you're doing I hoped that one day we'd look back and say we were wrong But I don't think that day will ever come Where did your love for me go If you find it will you please let me know I won't say it was a waste of time But I'm not waiting for you to find it So when you do will you let me know

Unlike the days of wisdom when we're fighting to be someone Our lives have taken steps in directions that we don't know And all the paths we've dreaded among the crowded dreams We walk the final mile taking the long way home The long way home Taking the long way home We walk the final mile taking the long way home My life's afforded privileges that only I can understand And it cost me almost everything to get to where I am But looking back will only keep me from moving on Nobody goes the same way taking the long way home The long way home Taking the long way home Nobody goes the same way taking the long way home

Every now and then things get out of hand And we say things that make us feel pain But it's hard because we don't want to stop Fighting to get the last word I don't want any trouble tonight Though it's hard to deny it All I want is you, me and the silence Sometimes I think we do it for the sport Just to relieve the pressure But no punching bag could handle the blows That we dish out to each other I don't want any trouble tonight Though it's hard to deny it All I want is you, me and the silence Tomorrow is another day and what we feel now won't matter So close your eyes and sleep it off In the morning you'll feel better I don't want any trouble tonight Though it's hard to deny it All I want is you, me and the silence

I came here tonight, to tell you that I’m Not coming around anymore But while I’m here, I might as well just stay I tried to quit you before, but I can’t let you go Your grip is strong and for too long you held me tight So I came here tonight, to tell you that I’m Not hanging around You came to my door, what for You ain’t supposed to come around here anymore But while you’re here, you might as well come in You quit on me once, now you’re back And there’s nothing left to say So turn around and go back to where you came Cause you’re out here tonight, to tell me you’re not Hanging around I came here tonight, to tell you that I’m Not coming around anymore But while I’m here, I might as well just stay I tried to quit you before, but I can’t let you go Your grip is strong and for too long you held me tight So I came here tonight, to tell you that I’m To tell you that I’m Not hanging around

If you come back we could reconcile the differences If you come back we could try to make it work If you come back we could start at the beginning If you come back I'd give you everything But it's not easy being me It's not easy now you know It's not easy being me It's not easy why'd you go If you come back I'll take you to the country If you come back I'll buy that new dress If you come back I would take you home If you come back I would lay you down But it's not easy being me It's not easy now you know It's not easy being me It's not easy I'm not making any promises I'm not saying you should Life's too short to be angry And too long to be apart If you come back I will be the man If you come back I'll find that new job If you come back we'll have the family we wanted If you come back we'll be happy But it's not easy being me It's not easy now you know It's not easy being me It's not easy

Tell Me 02:46
Love you should be mine That man you're with will only waste your time You say you love him but he makes you blue I would never act that way with you Woman be with me The one you want is only make believe You say there is love in his eyes But with this man the sun will never rise Friends is what we are And what we have has gotten us this far The grass is only greener in your mind What's real is here right before your eyes So please tell me My heart is ready for your honesty You will never have to say again Just once is all and it will be the end The end of me

When She 03:19
When she's sad I wanna cry When she's alone I wanna die When she's hurt I wanna bleed She's the one The one I need When she's mad I wanna scream When she's tired I wanna sleep When she's hungry I wanna eat She's the one The one for me When she's happy I wanna smile When she dances I wanna try When she sways I wanna swing She's my love My everything When she wakes up I wanna be there When she puts on her makeup I wanna see her When she calls I'll always answer Because she's mine

You left me like a stone Cold and buried in the ground I didn't know How to get out of this hole Maybe with a little more time Take this stone and turn it into gold It ended so fast I didn't know what to do Threw me down to the bottom of the river Leaving me to drown Maybe with a little more time Take this stone and turn it into gold Deep down you didn't want to do it I don't know what makes you this way But it hurts so much I can't take anymore All I can do is wait Maybe with a little more time Take this stone and turn it into gold
9.
I wanted a love but I got a lie I can't hold on now it's too much Mad at a liar and my head is on fire I can't hold on now it's too hot I want you I need you I know I only want something I know I never could have It never lasts now I'm breaking glass You just can't run away and disappear Being alone now that isn't wrong But everyone needs something once in a while I want you I need you I know I that I can't I want you I need you I know I only want something I know I never could have
10.
Let You Go 01:06
I know he hates it when I call But he'll have to get used to it for now I might call you on your birthday I might call to say hello I hope he treats you like I did I hope you can fly I've had time to think about you I wanted to let you know I'm moving on without you It's time to let you go
