Another Shot

Only had a few loves made nearly all of them cry
Been a bad man In a bad dream on a
Saturday night
Talk about a long walk home
Talk about a waste of time
When I look in the mirror all I see is a heart on fire
Used to have some one to hold
To give all of my love
But my dumbass went and fucked it all up
If you got a broken heart
Wanna get outta town tonight
You can ride with me just pay the tolls and
We'll make it through the night
I've been wondering how you've been
I don't care who it's with
I’ve got a lot I need to say to you but I don’t think you care
Darlin the neon stopped glowing
How well have you been sleeping?
I wish another shot would take all my troubles away
Darlin the neon stopped glowing
How well have you been sleeping?
I wish another shot would take all my troubles away

Going Out Tonight

Ballerina
You went down without a fight
It was perfect in every single way
You don’t even try
Still you always get paid
When the time comes you take what you need
I’m going out tonight
I don’t care if I ever make it home
I don’t care if the moneys gone
I saw blood on the floor
And I remembered what you said
There ain't nobody worth more than the rest
I know what that means
Still I’ve gotta get out
I'm quitting this whole crazy scene
I’m going out tonight
I don’t care if I ever make it home
I don’t care if the moneys gone
When I’m talking
I don’t feel nothing
You stare serene into the sky
What makes us so different from each other?
I can tell it makes you want to cry
All my fears
Fell from my mouth
When I saw you dance in the backyard
What makes us so suspicious of each other?
I know it makes you wanna cry
Its alright if you cry
Hell I might even cry
I’m going out tonight
I don’t care if I ever make it home
I don’t care if the moneys gone

Time Slips Away

No I don't care if I fall
Been there before and I've loved them all
I can feel it in my blood
Time slips away in the shadow of the sun
Just how you're looking at me now
You're feeling pretty bad cause you're gonna let me down
You're afraid of what's to come
I'm afraid to but what's done is done
Oh I'm still alive
Though I've feared for the end a million times
Take what you're owed and get out
Those crocodile tears ain't fooling me now
I steeled myself when you knocked
I knew what you meant when you asked if we could talk
No I ain't mad I'm just right
I knew this was coming didn't put up a fight
That whole scene is on replay
I tell you goodbye and you just walk away
Oh I'm still alive
Though I've seen my own end a million times
I see those silver wings in the sky
Taking you away to a brand new life
I must be an ant on the ground
I'm feeling like a beggar lusting after the crown
Oh I'm still alive
Though I've wished for the end a million times
But if I walk away
If I give up
Oh I'll never know if it was enough

Tip of My Tongue

|
I know we don't talk much anymore
But I've been burning up inside
Gotta get out all the things I've always tried to hide
It ain't easy for me
To just say what I need
But if I wait another day
I'm afraid I'll lose the nerve to say
Whats been tearing at my mind
Why's courage so hard to find
Oh if I just give myself away
In little pieces
What'll be left when I get back to all those lonely nights
I'm tired of looking over my shoulder
I'm so sick of all the fights
But if I never try again
Will I ever be content
With the emptiness in my heart
Is it better to quit before I start
I know we don't talk at all
But you've been on the tip of my tongue
