Lowrider Confessions

Yeah, baby…

I heard what you said.

And for once in my life…

I ain’t got no excuse.

You were right about everything.

I still stare at that telephone,

Like your name might light the screen.

Funny how I had your whole heart,

And still chased everything between.

You gave me every reason to stay,

I gave you every reason to cry.

Now I’m sleeping with the memories,

Of a love I let die.

Everybody tried to warn me,

That a good love don’t come twice.

But I was

too damn busy

Throwing heaven out of my life.

You’re not my fool anymore,

And I can’t blame you,

girl, for leaving.

I was the one who broke your heart,

Now I’m the one who’s barely breathing.

You were everything I needed,

And I still went looking for more.

Now the world keeps on turning… But nothing matters anymore.

I drove past your house last Sunday,

Saw the curtains open wide.

Almost pulled into that driveway,

But I knew I’d lost that right.

I remember how you’d hold me,

Even when I pushed away.

You were begging me to love you,

I was begging you to stay… But only when you walked away.

Now I understand the silence,

And the tears you used to hide.

You were slowly dying loving me,

While I was too damn blind.

You’re not my fool anymore,

And I can’t blame you,

girl, for leaving.

I was the one who broke your heart,

Now I’m the one who’s barely breathing.

You were everything I needed,

And I still went looking for more.

Now the world keeps on turning… But nothing matters anymore.

I could tell you that I’m sorry,

But you’ve heard those words before.

I could fall down on my knees,

But you don’t live here anymore.

And I hope somebody holds you,

Like I should’ve every night.

God, it kills me just to say it…

But I hope he gets it right.

‘Cause I had a little piece of heaven,

And I treated it like hell.

Now I’m living with a stranger… And that stranger is myself.

You’re not my fool anymore,

No, baby, you finally broke free.

And the man who took your love for granted

Is all that’s left of me.

I don’t deserve another chance,

I know what I’ve been crying for.

You finally found your freedom…

And nothing matters anymore.

Ooooh… no,

nothing matters…

I hope you find that kind of loving,

That I was too blind to give.

You learned how to live without me… Now I gotta learn to

live… With what I did.

You weren’t the fool,

baby…

I was. I was all along…
