Feelin' 17

Why’d you up and go and make me
feel like I was lower than the
Dirt that’s on the bottom of your
shoes that you had found in 2010
I remember when you bought them
you were so damn excited to fill your soles with
memories of summer and of feeling 17
if you and I are being honest
I still don’t know what it means to take a
break see other people
I’m a one woman man
they said that time could heal any wound
and I sure hope like hell it can
Can you feel it getting colder
wipe your lipstick off my face and take my jacket off your shoulder what the fuck was I thinking, girls like you are the same
always pointing your fingers and never taking the blame
now I’m walking home alone with your shit on my shirt
my mom and dad they never told me how bad this would hurt
but I’ll take it to the face I’ll face whatever’s to come
because our war is finally over our race has finally been run

I know what I said was wrong
I shouldn’t have waited so long
To get this heavy weight off my chest
I didn’t think this was a test
To see who could wait it out
Is that what this is all about
Did you think that you could drag me around
You didn’t seem to like my sound
You’re the kinda girl that makes me wish that I had never even met you
I miss you every day and even though you’re not around I don’t resent you
I’ll write a thousand verses just to cope cuz you’re the only one I went to
No one really know just what it is or what it was that we had been through,
I spent too
Too many days saying its really complicated
I know I said I’d call but to be honest I just got a little faded
You always said you didn’t really like it when I got intoxicated
If you just stuck around another week or two I swear we would’ve made it
But now you’re gone
It’s time for me to finally move on
To take this like a man and suck it up
I’ll pray to whoever’s listening that I don’t fuck this up
I’ll embrace the silence early in the morn
And i’ll know what all this is for
I should be stepping up and looking away
But after everything it kills me to say

(There she is)
Catch your breath
Don’t let the alcohol get to your head
You’ll go and do something you might regret
My only regret
Is that I loved you too fast
I put my faith in things that wouldn’t last
Like all your bottles that are made of glass
They emptied too fast
I guess I’ll take my time I’ll figure it out
I know you don’t have much to complain about
You were the queen of the world, at least the queen of mine
You should do what I do and learn to take your time
Take this slow
Or you might realize you wouldn’t know
A good thing if it hit you nose
You didn’t know
You had the lucky lotto ticket
You had the ticket away
You had somebody at your fingers
He was begging to stay
You had a treasure in your hands and you threw it away
You don’t say
()
Time’s running out, and I doubt have a single doubt
I was right you were wrong, I knew it all along
Just move on

I can hear you pacing up and down the stairs
Nobody cares
What you did last winter
You were young and naive
I’ve got some tricks up my sleep
I’ll make him forget, I’ll make him regret
Everything that he’s done
Cuz after today he won’t have a way
For your name to leave his tongue
I promise to you I’m sticking it out
I’m always an earshot away
But why on that day
Did you fade to grey
And I wake up at 3 just to fall back asleep
And I try not to blurt out the secrets I keep
From you
And do you promise not to let me get carried away
I’ve been looking for reasons to stay
I don’t need you telling me what it is I need
Nobody sees
What I look like when I lay awake till the sun
Rises up before me
And I’ve got to go
I’ve got to find something new
I’ve got a shiney bright future and it’s waiting without you
And I’m standing up on my own two feet
And I’m moving to the rhythm of my own beat
Why don’t you stay as long as you need
I’m begging you to stay you’ve got what I need

Is that the sweater I bought you
On July 13th
I can tell my the color I still have the receipt
It’s pinned on my wall it stares me dead in the eye
It haunts me day and night but I wonder why
I haven’t torn it shreds its a pain in my throat
But it goes so well with your black wool coat
I see it in pictures it’s been worn so well
But it’s awful stretched out
has it been worn by somebody else
Has it been getting around
I’ll bet it doesn’t smell like Jasmin or roses
Or your laundry I suppose its
Probably cigarettes or Jameson
Like all of your nights have been wasted in
A 1973 Chevrolet Caprice
Somebody had better call the police
Cuz to me you might as well be missing or dead
I heard he put it in the dryer I heard it fell apart
The threads came undone it’s not too hard
To read a 3 inch tag it sticks out from the back
I don’t blame you cuz he always lacked the braincells
And the capacity to follow any direction
Its an atrocity the way he treated my sweater
It came from the soul but everything gets worn
Everything eventually gets old
How do you plan to fight the cold
()
It used to be the nicest blend of black and white
But now it’s all just grey
All the tiny little colors have worn away
I hope you wore it to pieces and it didn’t just fade away
That day he threw it in the washing machine
Without a second thought
but the worst part is you weren’t distraught
You said shit that sucks
Throw it in the trash
What did he do to you you were never quite that rash
What made you so rash
()
I haven’t heard from you in weeks

I wish that could do away with you
Because I have nothing left I need to say to you
We were nothing but a lonely summer time
Please stop all your crying I know you’ll be fine
It’s not my fault I was willing to stick it out
I wanted more than you could offer
I wanted more than you would sell me
I wanted more than just your dark red lips
Your long tan legs
You know that I would do whatever it takes
To get you to tell me
You want me just as badly as I want you
You played hard to get and now it’s over with
You were just a joke that I would never get
Now I’m moving on and you can’t stand it
You hate everything I do because you didn’t plan it
You’re a lucky lotto ticket flowing in the breeze
I could pick you up with ease
()
Sometimes you drive me fucking crazy
It’s just like you to blame me
My baby’s better for me
She and I want the same thing
And I want everything she’ll offer
I’ll take anything she’ll sell me
I’m tripping over her dark green eyes
Her soft sweet smile
I’m hoping that she’ll stick around for a while
I need her to tell me
She wants me just as badly as I want her
