You can tell I'm a long way off from where I figure I might ought to be

Give me a one way ticket on to nowhere to fix it and a guitar for company

I just might write a few lines about heartbreak and all the other pain I've been through

But it just won't do me no good to write about you

Oh I'd love to pick out a good strong melody and pair it with the good times I've had

And would it be a crime if I slowed it down and really made you feel my sad

Then maybe again you'd appreciate it more when I kick it up a notch or two

But all things considered, only thing I'd end up with's another sad song about you

Yeah that whiskey in the cabinet's done lied to me enough telling me it might end up Okay

To dig up what's already long since buried and give common sense a break

But the words that spill on the page in the notebook, that I wrote when I've had more Than a few

The more they don't make sense, the more you know they're right about you

Oh I'd love to pick out a good strong melody and pair it with the good times I've had

And would it be a crime if I slowed it down and really made you feel my sad

Then maybe again you'd appreciate it more when I kick it up a notch or two

But all things considered, only thing I'd end up with's another sad song about you, yeah

But all of the memories where I couldn't seem to please you

I just can't get out of my head

All the times you lied to me, it's burning inside of me

We'd be better off if you left

Cause I just want to pick out a good strong melody and pair it with the good times I've Had

And would it be a crime if I slowed it down and really made you feel my sad

Then maybe again you'd appreciate it more when I kick it up a notch or two

But all things considered, only thing I'd end up with's another sad song about you

Yeah you're all gone forever, never hate being right, but I hated being right about you
