All that beauty's wasted on a love forever lost. Bringing back the taste of guilt when I'm layin' in your arms. You can find another way to watch your memories all rot; I'll wash mine off. I walked right in and killed the party. "Please don't let me break your heart" is what they all say (come and find me) Never really could keep up with the way we felt when we were young. It's hard to keep me in the same place. Come and finish what you started. All that glory gave me was a life that's come and gone. Clinging to the taste of when I finally make my mark. If there ever comes a day when I've been gone for far too long; I'll prove you wrong. But I sit and think about you all day. "Can't help but think you're just as lonely" is what is what they all say (don't remind me) Never really did become what we thought we would when we were young. I never look back on those days and just look at where it got me. Girl, this is my song. You should turn it up. If you can't move to it then I'll sing you one that you know. Then you can go. You can live with the dreams but I'll die with the sorrow. I'll die tomorrow. Maybe today. I'll die with this stupid look on my face. I made you a promise, I made a mistake. I'm stuck with reminders of you. Maybe I can make it this time.

Ms. Kentucky 03:48
Take another drag, take another drink. You can hang back and just listen to me sing about how my breath crept along the side of your neck, and you never learned to love no one else. I hope that helps if you felt that you understand history repeats itself. So they say I can't shake it, can't seem to shake off the way I hate to say it; but I still love the sound of your name. I can take it, baby. Troubles always weighing on me, and I've been aching from decisions I still haven't made. Will this feeling last or will this feeling flee? I'm laying on my back in the middle of the street. I swear the sky came down and stole the shine from your smile; the one that heaven nor hell could create. And to this day that still won't change. I wore my weight in the blood from your face. So they say I can't shake it, can't seem to shake off the way I hate to say it; but I still love the sound of your name. I can take it, baby. Troubles always weighing on me, and I've been aching from decisions I still haven't made. When all your friends have left and you're the only one that can clean up this mess that they made of this city, that she made of your heart. You've never seen it break, but swear you felt it fall apart. You've always had a good time with bad feelings and all these records, now take em all and get back to where you belong. And do your best at picking up the pieces you didn't know existed. I don't see the point in you rebuilding bridge, cause when you are done I will just burn it again. I'll feed you all my secrets and you'll swallow 'em whole. Heres one for the road: I hate you Ms. Kentucky.

Well you were never a princess who needed diamonds and wine. While I chased my demons, you danced through the night. You built my coffin and you did it with a smile. I know how to shut up, when to lay down and die while I'm staring at the moon through the light in your eye. I taste your poison when I swallow my pride. Could never resist when you set my soul on fire. You made me promise not to put it out this time. And I never told a soul what you did with those bones. Leave em for the crows to find in the throws of redemption. If you listen, you can hear the ghost of a man whose heart used to beat like back when we first met. If I was different, I never would've loved you forever (am I supposed to feel better?) Cause it was none of your business what I did with my time. Was I just a loose end you left untied? Baby be honest, don't tell me no more lies. If you know how to shut up, when to lay down and die, why you staring at the moon through the light in my eye? I hear your voice when you crawl through my mind. You got to steppin' and left me behind. My blood,s as rotten as you are divine. You never told a soul what you did with those bones, leave em for the crows to find in the throws of redemption. If you listen, you can hear the ghost of a man whose heart used to beat like back when we first met. If I was different, I never would've loved you forever. The harder it gets to let go makes it harder to hold on. This I swear I promise you I will haunt you through this lifetime. Just like a broken record, I could spin like this forever. I belong here right now and that I'll remember.

The night is raw. I stumble to the top of my lungs. Too stubborn to be wrong. Too tired to keep going. I am not alone. Ghosts roam through these walls I painted gray. Full of flaws, I struggle through the knots in my tongue. Two lovers too withdrawn. Two fires to provoke me. I still don't know if those open roads will stoke these flames. Searching old places looking for your voice. I miss it always. Why build something greater when there's too much to destroy? Clip your wings and sip your way into an early grave. Start to crawl, I shuffle through the thoughts in my gut. Too stupid to hold on. Too smart to keep it growing. I hope you don't think these broken bones will always ache. When I'm gone bury all the songs that I've sung. Too bitter to belong. Too empty to keep hoping. I will not atone, close my throat and tell me I'm okay.

Did we grow up too fast here or is the timing all wrong? Burn marks still scarred on my arm from the sun we were on. And I took that memory and gave it back to your boyfriend. Now I can't help but thinking. Just keep thinking nothing. I'm half broken and you make me wonder how I stand. So cut me open, make me whole again. And I keep finding shrapnel from the time we exploded. You buried my heart in the same backyard where you broke it. You dug up that memory and gave it back to my girlfriend. Now I can't help but feeling. Just keep feeling nothing. I'm half broken and you make me wonder how I stand. So cut me open, make me whole again. We're getting younger and dumber and I can't be sure the liars we are aren't the liars we were. I walk away, I don't say goodbye. The feelings I have are just the feelings I hide.
