She used to talk about Wyoming like it was heaven here on earth
You could see for 50 miles on the worst day
Drink its living water and not be bothered with new birth
Slip into the wild and all your sins be washed away
It was there you said you knew I never loved you
I could not convince myself you were wrong
So I went and found somebody else I could hold on to
And now you're gone
You used to talk about tomorrow like it was ours and set in stone
A love from dust into existence on our first day
But we carried so much sorrow in our hearts and in our bones
Learned to love each other in the worst way
It was there you said you knew I never loved you
I could not convince myself you were wrong
So I went and found somebody else I could hold on to
And now you're gone
It was there you said you knew I never loved you
Even though we both knew well you were wrong
So I went and found somebody else I could hold on to
And now you're gone

All Those Pretty Things

All those pretty things
Things you said to me
What I thought we were
What we'll never be
What was there to lose
It was only just a game
If none of it was true
You didn't feel the same
Like we met in a crowded bar
In a heavy haze of smoke
And you offered me a drink
Pretend to laugh at my joke
Or we met stepping off a train
Sure to never meet again
Only pleasure now no time for pain
No real beginning just an end
All those pretty things
Things you said to me
What I thought we were
What we'll never be
What was there to lose
It was only just a game
If none of it was true
You didn't feel the same
Now there's nothing left to do

400 Cigarettes

It's been about five days,
400 Cigarettes
I ain't shaken you yet
Don't know whether to laugh or to cry
To freeze or sweat
Worst of all, I don't know how to forget
I miss you
Seems like everything's lost its shine
Still so bright I'm going blind
And peace is getting harder to find
If you'd touch me one more time
For a moment, you might ease my mind
And we, we could leave this all behind
I miss you
I can see you standing there
Morning sun reflecting off your hair
But you, you're not gonna pull me in again
One more time, I swore I'd be done
You're hope and misery wrapped up in one
But everything, everything's gotta come to an end
Lord, I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

I'm prepared to hate myself
And for you to hate me too
It's what I do
It's what I do
Throw away the things we have
It won't make me any more or less sad
It's who I am
Who I am
And I hope that one day you'll forgive me
Try to remember all the good
Though I couldn't figure out how to be what you deserve
Know I would
If I could
Now I'm sitting in the kitchen floor
Trying to sort through what's mine and what's yours
What was it for
What was it for
Though neither of us wanted this
I suppose it's just the way it is
It's how it is
How it is
And I hope that one day you'll forgive me
Try to remember all the good
Though I couldn't figure out how to be what you deserve
Know I would
If I could
I left the letter where you'd leave your keys
It's the last you'll ever hear from me
You'll never hear from me
You'll never hear from me

Good morning from Nashville
Hope you're feeling alright
We came and we saw what we could
Put up a hell of a fight
We fell hard in Nashville
But the time wasn't right
How the moments are fleeting
You think you'll always have more
Took my hand and you smiled as you said
Please don't call anymore
I know that it hurt you
And it all felt so heavy
As you danced out the door
It ain't easy leaving what you love
Sometimes believing just ain't enough
Put a rose in my doorway
And a note on my car
I keep them pressed up in a book somewhere
So you're never too far
We ended in Nashville
Burning hot and collapsing
Another dead star
Good morning from Nashville
Wherever you are
It ain't easy leaving what you love
Sometimes believing just ain't enough
Good morning from Nashville
Good morning from Nashville
Good morning from Nashville
Goodbye

Self Defense

Loving you was never the problem
Only believing you did the same
Whatever your sins
Time would find a way to absolve them
I could not get past the pain
I was looking over my shoulder
Haunted by my checkered past
These things never leave
Only fester as they get older
Nothing's really built to last
Trying to justify
I was pleading self defense
I don't believe it now
And I didn't believe it then
You can do whatever you want to
I don't need to do the same
Whatever you want
All's I need is for you to see me
I guess some things never change
Trying to justify
I was pleading self defense
I don't believe it now
And I didn't believe it then
Now I'm stuck looking over your shoulder
And I'm ever haunted by the past
These things never leave
Only fester as I get older
Nothing's really built to last
Trying to justify
I was pleading self defense
I don't believe it now
And I didn't believe it then
