about

I wrote this while waiting for a friend to get home. I began repeating a Text from the mother of the girl I love out loud, and the next thing I knew I was singing. I wrote the lyrics out on the brown paper bag that my bottle of Captain Morgan private stock came in.

lyrics

She had a bad day
and so have you.
You want to hold her,
but she doesn't want you.
You're lost, alone.
and all you gets a dial tone
You're lost, alone.
You want to call her up on the phone.

She's a bastard,
and you are a fool.
You got her to trust you,
then what did you do?
you were lost, alone.
Through the empty streets you had roamed
you were lost alone
It was too late when you found your home.
to tell her

"you don't have to
give up on a love that's true.
You don't have to
walk a mile in your shoes
I could carry you,
I could carry you."

She is beautiful
and she is smart.
You want to talk,
but she ignores you, cause you broke her heart.
You're lost, alone.
you hurt for her more then she'll know
You're lost, alone.
You want to show her how you've grown
and tell her

"you don't have to
give up on a love that's true.
You don't have to
walk a mile in your shoes
I could carry you,"

She is Terrified
and tides will come and go
sometimes they'll overflow
The highs will turn into lows
You're lost, alone.
Cause the futures never set in stone
You're lost, alone.
and tired you may sink below
just call me

You don't have to
give up on a love that's true.
You don't have to
walk a mile in your shoes

You don't have to
give up on a love that's true.
You don't have to
walk a mile in your shoes
I can carry you.
