<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Kissed your lips and said goodnight<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I never thought I’d be here again<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Was forever broken hearted but you changed my mind<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
It’s a re-do, repeat, same old story<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Flash right back to before me met<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
And I said forever to someone else<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I said it once and I’ll say it again<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Feels like I’ve said it a thousand times<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I’ve always meant every word but some would say it’s just a line<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Well I can’t change yesterday and I don’t know if we’ll ever see tomorrow<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
So forever is as far as we’ll go<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Home safe, has a great night, and I miss you already <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I’ve never felt quite, like this before, is what we say but already know <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
That every single things been already said before <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
To a one time true love romance has been<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We say it anyway<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I could copy paste every text from my last ex and youd never know<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Because it’s the same old words<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Same old lines <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
But with you it’s a whole new story<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Now it’s matching tattoos of a lyric no one else would understand<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stay with me a little longer<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Telling stories of our scars<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Let the silence do the talking<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Under South Georgia stars<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Tell me what is, what you see, what you want, what you need<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

Like a siren song<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Whispered on the wind<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
You’ve been calling out to me<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
So I’ll let you draw me out<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Let you clear away the rubble<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Tend the scrapes and scratches <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Wipe the dust from my eyes<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Ease the pain of years<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Spent in this cramped confinement <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Of the prison I’ve called safety<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The kiln fired cast I’ve worn forever<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Protection from the world or myself I can’t be sure<o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Briefly lighting your face<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Seen from the darkness a block away<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
drawing me in<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I can almost imagine<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The scent of smoke on your skin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Mixed with bourbon and vanilla <o:p></o:p></div>

That I can’t help but drink in<o:p></o:p></div>

And what I said got lost in what you thought you heard<br />
Because sometimes it’s not anything deeper<br />
Sometimes it’s just the honest answer<br />
Even when it’s not what you wanted<br />
When you’re digging for meaning where it doesn’t exist<br />
Because I said all<br />
<br />
But I didn’t say now

<br />
But there’s an addiction<br />
To this loss of control<br />
<br />
That I hate and can’t get enough of<br />
That I wish I could keep at bay<br />
<br />
But your pull is unavoidable<br />
A riptide fastened to my soul<br />
<br />
Sewn so deeply in my bones<br />
I don’t know where it starts and I end<br />
<br />
It’s safer to stay away<br />
But I’ll let you pull me under<br />
<br />
To feel that burning in my lungs<br />
And the sweet relief of letting goKae Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323813115250638719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5807381283964603043.post-47538105941796909892019-04-28T18:04:00.000-05:002019-04-30T21:31:55.297-05:00Remember<br />
