Demo Version

lyrics

The first night that we met
I passed out on your floor
In the morning you were holding me tight
I knew trouble was in store

Couldn’t shake you with my drinking
Couldn’t lose you with my lies
Seems the less that I gave you
The more that I’d hurt you
The harder you’d try

You didn’t know any other way
Love meant that you had to stay

So your Daddy was a drinker
Did he pull your chain too tight?
I ain’t no Freud, but there has to be a reason
Why I’m your Mr. Right

Standing here, nothing left to say
Always knew it would end this way

We’ve got that summer kind of sad, baby
It doomed us from the start
Now I’m drinking like crazy
Trying to release the guilt
That’s trapped in my heart

You’ve got a quiet way of crying
Your heart holds back too much
You’re too quick to forgive
You’re too quick to give
An ‘it’s all right’ touch
And I know what your gonna say
True love don’t just walk away

We’ve got that summer kind of sad, baby
It doomed us from the start
Now I’m drinking like crazy
Trying to release the guilt
That’s trapped in my heart

We’ve got that summer kind of sad
It’s gone on way too long
You can’t begin and you’ll never win
Against a sadness that strong

Standing here nothing left to say
Always knew it would end this way
