I´m picking up the phone and putting down this pen
To let you know I´m writing you again
But it´s not the same the names have all changed
And my best friend and ex girlfriend aren´t to blame
I did this myself it´s a sick cry for help
But it doesn´t mean the situation´s clean
Additional stress that will come from the press
The mess I made putting my life on parade
Now the writers can say "we were right all along
You can´t make someone love you with your songs"

And you don´t know me
But you owe me
A little time to find some piece of mind
And when you hold me
I´m not so lonely
It will be difficult to leave this life behind

My sister always said that hardships come in two´s
A funeral and break up afternoon
There is really no good time for anyone to leave
In a couple weeks I´ll get my chance to grieve
And hopefully by then my mind will be all clear
And I can cry for the reasons that I´m there
Not for the all things that are happening at home
The church was filled but I was still alone
But this is not a ploy to gain some sympathy
I made this bed and now it´s time to sleep

And you don´t know me
But you owe me
A little time to find some piece of mind
And when you hold me
I´m not so lonely
It will be difficult to leave this life behind

Its such a shame that the blame has somehow shifted to you
We´re both aware through the years that I´ve been messed up too
And I shouldn´t talk I should stop I´m digging deeper holes
It just feels strange that I sing songs for another girl
