Was a Time

There was a time, was a time

On that long, lonesome journey

When clouds filled up my eyes

Was a day, was a day

On that long stretch of highway

When tears filled up the skies

Was a night, was a night

When I woke up so lonely

And a man knocked on my door

He said “I’m telling you son

You don’t have to run,

And you never have to feel this anymore”

So now I’m lying in this bed

And I’m kicking with no meds

Feeling like I’d rather die

And when I look at your face

In the picture by the vase

I just curl up in a ball and cry

Well it’s my first night here

And I just wish if it was clear

If we’re still gonna share this light

And I just can’t sleep

Because I love you so deep

So I’ll crawl in my skin all night

Was a time, was a time

When I kissed your cheek

Then stole all the money in your purse

But tonight, oh tonight

It’s caught up to me

And I think I finally got what I deserved

If you think it’s time to leave

Then wipe a teardrop with your sleeve

And pick your head up, click your heels, and walk away

Was a time, was a time

When I couldn’t stand the weather

So I stayed in the house all day

So they let me out and then

I messed up again

And you walked right out my door

Now I’m wondering where you are

And every headlight is your car

And I know you don’t love me anymore

So now that you are gone

All I have is this song

Just to sing and feel sorry for myself

And as I look at the past

How it all went by so fast

I’m just wishing I was somebody else

Now the cool autumn days

They have turned into cold

And all the pretty leaves just gets stomped into the road

Was a time, was a time

When I couldn’t live without you

Was a the time, when I couldn’t stay here

Was a time, was a time

When I couldn’t live without you

But tonight, I just can’t stay here
