- Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long.
- You hold me without touch, you keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
- Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be, but you're on to me and all over me.
- You loved me 'cause I'm fragile when I thought that I was strong, but you touched me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
- You're neither friend nor foe, though I can't seem to let you go. The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down.
- She went down in an airplane, fried gettin' suntanned, fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand. Help me, help me! I'm no good at goodbyes. She met a shark underwater, fell and no one caught her, I returned everything I ever bought her. Help me, help me! I'm all out of lies and ways to say you died. She was caught in a mudslide, eaten by a lion, got run over by a crappy purple scion. Help me, help me! I'm no good at goodbyes. She dried up in the desert, drowned in a hot tub, danced to death at an East Side nightclub. Help me, help me! I'm all out of lies. And ways to say you died.
- I know there'll come a time when I look you in the eyes and say I told you so. And I promise you this- you're gonna miss me, miss me as long as you live, you're gonna miss me, miss me.
- It's like a postcard from Paris when you've seen the real thing. It's like finding out your diamond is from her old promise ring. A call back from your fortune teller, she read your cards upside down. The meanest thing you ever did was come around. And now I'm ruined.
- Like snowflakes when the weather warms up, like leaves on the trees when the autumn comes. Like the dogwood blossoms in the late spring rain, or the disappearing bubbles in a glass of champagne. Like a red kite lost in a blue sky wind, I don't know where the good times went. It ain't nothin' we ever said or ever did wrong. It's just love done gone.
- I'm still breathing and my heart's still beating. I might as well start living again.
- The land of the livin' ain't no place for a heartbroken zombie like me.
- I look around and see a lot of single people, but not a single one like me. Because they all want to leave here with somebody, and I just want to leave.
- This is gonna take some getting used to, baby. I'm gonna need more time because I still say "us" when I oughta say "me". I still say "ours" instead of "mine". Every plan I make, every road I take, I still see you riding along. Then suddenly, it hits me. Oh, yeah. You're gone.
- I can be in love with you, without you.
- Where are you now? What have you found? Where is your heart when I'm not around? Where are you now? You gotta let me know. Oh, baby, so I can let you go.
- I'll move on, baby just like you. When the desert floods and the grass turns blue. When a sailing ship don't need her moon. It'll break my heart, but I'll get through. Someday when I stop loving you.
- I guess it's gonna have to hurt, I guess I'm gonna have to cry and let go of some things I've loved to get to the other side. I guess it's gonna break me down, like fallin' when you're trying to fly. It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life starts with goodbye.
- There's gone for good and there's good and gone and there's gone with a long before it. I wish she'd been just a little more clear. There's gone for the day and gone for the night and gone for the rest of your dog gone life. Is it a whiskey night, or just a couple beers? I mean what kinda gone are we talking about here?
- Who do you think you are, running around leaving scars? Collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul. So don't come back for me, who do you think you are?
- When my heart ain't hutin', when I've got you off my mind. When I know that I can make it through one day without crying. When I've convinced myself that I am really all alone, baby that's when I'll believe that you're gone.
- I got nothin'. No magic words to stop her leaving, to end this hurt. I'm just blank. Staring into space, praying please, please let me think of something- 'cause I got nothing.
- Don't think I don't think about it. Don't think I don't have regrets. Don't think you don't get to me- between the work and the hurt and the whiskey. Don't think I don't wonder 'bout- coulda been, shoulda been all worked out. I know what I felt and I know what I said. But don't think I don't think about it.
- The space between the tears we cry is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more... but will I hold you again?
- I'll let you go, I'll set you free and let you see what you need to see. When you find you, come back to me.
- Lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright. Lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night. I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart. Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie.
- If we put too much lying on this, we'll see through all the cracks.
- Can't erase, so I'll take blame.
- Your wheels just turn down the road ahead. If it hurts at all, you ain't shown it yet. I keep looking for the slightest sign that you might miss what you left behind. I know there's nothing stopping you now, but I'd settle for a slowdown.
- When you think about me, do you think about seventeen? Do you think about my old jeep, think about the stars in the sky? Funny how a melody sounds like a memory.
- I've cried and begged and cursed and prayed, but nothing's worked and nothing's changed. No way I win when you keep score, but I ain't gonna take it, I ain't gonna take it anymore.
- Now I can't help but think of you, looking back in my rear view, but I've been down that road before.
- In my dreams I'll always see you soar across the sky, in my dreams there'll always be a place for you for all my life. I'll keep a part of you with me and everywhere I am, there you'll be.
- It's gonna take time, but I'll forget. They say I need to get on with my life, but they don't realize- 'cause when you're dialing 6 numbers just to hang up the phone, driving cross town just to see if she's home, waking a friend in the dead of night just to hear him say it's gonna be alright. When you find the things to do not to fall asleep 'cause you know she'll be there in your dreams, that's when she's more than a memory.
- 'Cause when you're talking out loud, but nobody's there. You look like hell and you just don't care. Drinking more thank you ever drank, sinking down lower than you ever sank. When you find yourself fallin' down upon your knees, praying to God, begging him please, that's when she's more than a memory.
- What she's doing now is tearing me apart, filling up my mind and emptying my heart. I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows and I wonder if she knows what she's doing now.
- Dreams, that's where I have to go to see your beautiful face anymore.
- If you ask me how I'm doing, I would say I'm doing just fine. I would lie and say that you're not on my mind. But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two and finally I'm forced to face the truth. No matter what I say, I'm not over you.
- Took this heart and put it through hell and still you're magnificent.
- I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me, I turn around and I'm back in the game even better than the old me.
- Are you over me now? Tell me how does it feel to be the one that's without, to lose something so real? Now that your world's crashing down, are you over me now?
- I got a feeling by the time the night finds the morning, I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning.
- My heart said a long time ago "Buddy, tuck your tail and run. 'Cause it ain't love and you're stuck on the wrong end of the gun."
- Better to have loved than never loved at all. Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall. Better to have held you and let you in than never to have touched your skin. Better to have hurt and screamed and cried, fall into the earth for a trip to the sky. Better to have loved...
- Don't wish, don't start, wishing only wounds the heart.
- Don't remember that rush of joy. He could be that boy, but I'm not that girl.
- Every so often, we long to steal to a land of what might have been, but that doesn't soften the ache we feel when reality sets back in.
- Don't put your lips up to my mouth and tell me you can't stay. Don't slip your hand under my shirt and tell me it's ok. Don't say it doesn't matter, 'cause it's gonna matter to me. I can't be alone with you've got me out on the edge every time you call, and you know it would kill me if I fall, but I can't be alone with you.
- She was the one that got away, the one who wrecked my heart. I should have never let her go, I should have begged her to stay, she was the one that got away.
- There is no Arizona. No painted desert, no Sedona. If there was a grand canyon, she could fill it up with the lies he's told her, but they don't exist, those dreams he sold her, she'll wake up and find there is no Arizona.
- I pray your brakes go out running down a hill, pray a flower pot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I'd like to. I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls, I pray you're flying high when your engine stalls, I pray all your dreams never come true. Just know wherever you are, honey, I pray for you.
- I pray your tire blows out a hundred and ten, I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend and wake up with his and her tattoos.
- You and I both loved what you and I spoke of and others just read of.
- And it's okay if you have to go away, just remember the telephone works in both ways, but if I never ever hear it ring, if nothing else, I'll think the bells inside have finally found you someone else and that's okay 'cause I'll remember everything you sang.
- It just took a day for you to change your mind. 24 little hours like crumbling towers, a day for you to realize that enough's not enough 'cause your life's getting rough, so just say what you mean and stick by it for more than a day.
- Please don't say your love has lost me. Please don't say I've lost control. Please don't say your eyes can't see me. Please don't say I've lost it all.
- She only smokes when she drinks, she only drinks now and then, now and then when she's tired of being let down by men. You could give her a light, but it's not what you think. Everybody knows she only drinks alone and she only smokes when she drinks.
