I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark
|
Don't be concerned, it's just the power of a breaking heart.
|
How good am I hiding it?
|
Look, I've got some bad intentions.
|
Guilty as fucking charged.
|
Still standing stable, more than able 'cause I know who you are.
|
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed.
|
I regret them all.
|
But now I know this:
|
|
I know that God exists.
|
I held her in my arms.
|
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
|
Take me off your worry list.
|
It'll be better that way.
|
I'm really fine and there's nothing we haven't talked about.
|
So, take me off your worry list I said, "Throw it away."
|
This is what my life is about.
|
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
|
|
I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view.
|
What kind of man would take the trust you break and still follow through?
|
'Cause I'm standin' right here.
|
And you may not show up.
|
This same gate 14 where, honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff.
|
And it's just embarrassing, that I nearly threw up
|
And I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up.
|
And at the top of my list, this visitation's no relationship.
|
But I gotta make the best of it.
|
'Cause I know -
|
I know that God exists.
|
I held her in my arms.
|
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
|
Take me off your worry list.
|
It'll be better that way.
|
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around.
|
Take me off your worry list.
|
Just throw it away.
|
Well, it's time to stand up on my own for her.
|
'Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today.
|
|
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up.
|
Everything is quiet and covered in snow.
|
There's something wrong here...
|
Nobody's at home.
|
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
|
Now, I'm back in the driver's seat.
|
Heading back home.
|
Yeah, back to Texas on my own.
|
|
Take me off your worry list.
|
It'll be better that way.
|
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around.
|
Take me off your worry list.
|
Just throw it away.
|
Yeah, it's time to stand up on my own for her.
|
I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today.
|
This is what my story's about.
|
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
|
I'm packin' it up, and I'm comin' today.
|
|
This is what your story's about.
|
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?
|
If it helps to know so there is no doubt,
|
Just listen to the stories.
|
Not everything is glorious.
|
Some hurt, some love, some shout.
|
I fought the world and I lost that bout.
|
And you are what my album's about.
|
I might have been gone, but I never walked out.
