Who's gonna worry about you now?
Who's gonna ask the Lord to cover you?
Who's tears will wash away your sins?
Who's sleepless nights will bring rest for you?
Who's gonna call you every year?
Down to the minute anniversary
Who's gonna calm away your fears?
How will you know not to worry?
And I know
I should've been better than that
Who knows what tomorrow brings?
The waiting is worse than the ending
Who's gonna tell you how to feel?
You can't have bitter without sweet

It's Fine
03:27
|

|
I don't have a jagged edge
It's more of a ragged edge
Won't find me on the ledge
Maybe I never left the bed
And I'm fine
It's fine
It's been a time or two
Maybe three since I've seen you
Doing nothin' is my thing to do
And I don't want no trouble from you
I'm fine
It's fine
I'm always late to the party
Better never than late
This mystery that we started
Makes me hesitate
I'm fine
I must confess I have no drive
Dank memes about a happy life
Seams easier than goin' outside
Where might actually wear a smile
I'm fine
It's fine
I'm always waiting for somethin'
The other show to drop
This little war that we started
Makes me wanna stop
There must be somethin' to talk about
Cause the weather hasn't changed much
I'm glad we don't all think out loud
Cause sometimes I think a little rough
I'm fine

She Loves Me
03:15
|
|||
|
In the middle of the night
She wakes up to hold me tight
Cause she loves me
And every single day
She stops and asks to pray
Cause she loves me
If she’s buried in her work
She’ll make our us time work
Cause she loves me
And time and time again
She’ll forgive me of my sins
Cause she loves me
She loves me
In the morning a soft kiss
and a wonderful day wish
Cause she loves me
And when the day is through
I don’t have to feel blue
Cause she loves me
She loves me
If see me with a smile
You don’t have to ask me why
She loves me
And if you ask me how
There never was a doubt
She loves me

There I Said It
02:36
|

|
Life will kill you if you let it
There I said it, don't regret it
I need you to check in on me
Cause I won't be forthcoming with my need
Oh, he told me he was good'
And oh, how I wonder if I did everything I could
Now I live with the regret
Of everything unsaid
And each moment I replay
So I can find the thing I could change
Just to have him here again
Life will kill you if you let it
There I said, don't regret it
I need you to worry about me
Cause the one thing I know is misery
Oh, how he smiled every day
And fought so damn hard to keep the demons at bay
And he hid it from those he loved
Until he couldn't cover up
And now I'll never see him again

You and I
02:36
|
|||
|
Even though our world has turned to scat
It’s better because of all y’all, and that’s a fact
Cause we’re in this together, you and I
We’re in this together, you and I
Even though this situation is shit
I’m not gonna scream out loud and pitch a fit
Cause we’re in this together, you and I
We’re in this together, you and I
Oh
Nobody else could know
Just how low
How low things could go
But we all find the strength to muddle through
and pick each other up, maybe laugh a little too
We’re in this together, you and I
We’re in this together, you and I

She Doesn't Know
03:24
|
|||
|
The sunlight lands on her face every morning, like it always has
But the magic trick has been revealed.
She rustles the kids, to begin the day, just like every other day
She doesn’t know what goes on my head
I don’t really think that our love is dead
But it’s surely seen better days
And the weekend comes, and everybody piles in for the trip
She doesn’t know this is not where I’d go
If I traveled alone, oh the places I would go
I don’t remember what living is, so I just go
Along and act like this is what I had in mind
Then suddenly she clutches my hand
And the rush returns, and I remember who I am
And I’m captivated all over again
She’s everything I had in mind
She doesn’t know who she really is to me
But she knows no one else means this much to me
and that trick revealed is still sweet magic to me
she’s everything I had in mind

Love Is a Lemon
04:21
|
|||
|
Love is a lemon and I wonder why
It can taste of pulp and burn your eyes
But in the right hands with a little time
It becomes sweet lemon pie
One look in the mirror and I can plainly see
I’m not there yet where I should be
Sometimes a lemon without a prayer
With no warranty beyond compare
God is my penpal spellchecks these songs
God’s punctuation is never wrong
He sets the tempo the notes in the air
He told me once, I’m beyond compare
So I believe So I sing
So I give myself to all things
Broken and screwed up
Beyond repair
Broken and screwed up
Beyond compare
Love’s never perfect that much is true
But sometimes it feels that way for me and you
I can’t compare myself
There’s too that much we share
You and me / beyond compare
Love is a lemon and I wonder why
It can taste of pulp and burn your eyes
But in the right hands with a little time
It becomes sweet lemon pie

Don't Try So Hard
02:58
|
|||
|
Why you wanna try so hard?
Why you gotta feel that burn again?
Over and over
I'll be your shoulder
But I gotta be real
It doesn't make any sense to me
Why the burden? Does it fill a hole?
Why the yearnin? Honey don't you know
You're the greatest you
I wouldn't want any other you
And I gotta be real
It doesn't make any sense to me
Contemplating how best to fit in
So exhausting, this war we can't win
I found the key but they changed the locks again
And I just wanna call it even
Can't we just forget about all this?
