Baby, if Only Half as Much…

I swore I’d follow to the ends of the Earth
dug up my battered soul from the dirt
Just for you, all for you

You’re running towards the sky
And I’ll be left behind
But I don’t care, no I don’t care

Lechery and lies have caught up to you
The easy fix won’t fill it anymore
And I would have bled everything to save you
That’s for sure, now I’m sure


The grand things aren’t anything,
and the small things mean everything
There’s no safety in hiding from what you lack
It will all come back, to find you
Love is the tie that binds two
It’s all that you want to be


I wanted to be your pretty little “wife”
To give you a piece of the good life
You deserve love, even you deserve love

Insecurity and faithlessness will steal
All that you’ve paid into this
Happiness is a scary thing to hold
Dreams were sold, our dreams were sold


The grand things aren’t anything,
and the small things mean everything
There’s no safety in hiding from what you lack
It will all come back, to find you
Love is the tie that binds two
It’s all that you want to be…might never be


I saw past everything else, took my heart down off the shelf
I saw the hurts you couldn’t see
No one can live forever on charm and insincerity
Not even you, no not even you


I heard none of the alarms
Deaf to faults, but not cunning yarns
I hoped to spend life in your arms
Your breathing once matched mine, just mine


The grand things aren’t anything,
and the small things mean everything
There’s no safety in hiding from what you lack
It will all come back, to find you
Love is the tie that binds two
It’s all that you want to be…I hope you’ll be


I swore I’d follow to the ends of the Earth
dug up my wounded soul from the dirt
Just for you, only for you



But it’s no more. Of that, you’re sure.








(December 1st)

Sing-a-long.

Doubts, regrets, and shoulda-beens screamed at me in bed again
I haven’t slept since God knows when
‘Cause you’re not here no more.

I fucked up and fell right in
The tragedy of lust begins
It turned to love and no one was
More surprised than me.

Your addiction
Is your affliction
You can’t be happy
Unless it’s hard.

I might be lonely
At least I’m sober
I‘m the fool here
At least I tried.

Old promises and coulda-beens
siren-songed in my head again
I haven’t danced since God knows when
‘Cause October left me cold.

I knelt down and bled so thin
The pain of all that had to end
I looked for love and no one was
Standing up to see.

Your addiction
Is your affliction
You won’t be happy
That’s just too hard.

It must be lonely
I loved you only
So it’s over
I’m still lost here
Can’t lock the door.
