The Roof Over Me

Kicked when I was already

Begging on my hands and knees

Learned too much 'bout living

Broke my glasses colored rose

Floored and staying down

My castle on a cloud

Crumbled, rotten with my grieving

Those I truly loved the most

This life just keeps on living

I've already given so much away

Too many days talking with angels

To tell 'em I was grateful

I won't make the same mistake

So I thank the world for spinning

I thank the daylight dimming

And I thank

The roof over me

Scared to face the light of day

Head down in my pillowcase

Looked up and all I'd done

Was waste my time

And still with so much left to lose

I'm shaking in my cowboy boots

Couldn't take one more goodbye

Living in hell watching my father cry

I'm so sick of learning lessons

Here's my confession

I'm terrified of everything

But on nights when I'm real lonely

I know I'm not the only one

Just scraping by

So I thank the world for spinning

I thank the daylight dimming

And I thank

The roof over me

The sound of my friends laughing

My Mama's Southern accent

A breezy day in early August

My lover being honest with me

Now that I think about it, I have everything

So I thank the world for spinning

I thank the daylight dimming

And I thank

The roof over me
