lyrics

i guess you're right we were good together
but like they say there's nothing that lasts forever
tell me what's the last thing you'll remember
is it a knock down drag out? is it this letter?
i promise i'm not asking again

my back hurts like hell, but i've got work tonight
i'd tell you this in person but there’s never any time
tell me you promise that you'll notice
the words i chose to write, the way i wrote them
i promise i'm not asking again

if there's a chance that you've got something left
then i still hope that you can figure all this out
it's been so long out on the end of this rope
i'm tired, i'm sorry, i'm done

can you name what it is that you're looking for
i know it's not a barroom, it's not in any store
when you close your eyes can you even see it
a picture or some words that seem to fit in
i promise i'm not asking again

all we have in common is what we've left behind
i've tried oh i've tried but I know it's just a line
it isn't that i'm questioning your motives
but the things you do are lacking any focus
i promise i'm not asking again
