The Worry List

I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark Don't be concerned, it's just the power of a breaking heart How good am I hiding it? Look, I've got some bad intentions Guilty as fucking charged Still standing stable, more than able 'cause I know who you are I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed I regret them all But now I know this I know that God exists I held her in my arms I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong Take me off your worry list It'll be better that way I'm really fine, and Mar, there's nothing we haven't talked about So, take me off your worry list, I said, "Throw it away" This is what my life is about I might have been gone but I never walked out I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view What kind of man would take the trust you break And still follow through? 'Cause I'm standin' right here And you may not show up This same gate 14 where, honestly I'm just sick of calling your bluff And it's just embarrassing, that I nearly threw up Well I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up And at the top of my list, this visitation's no relationship But I gotta make the best of it 'Cause I know I know that God exists I held her in my arms I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong Take me off your worry list It'll be better that way And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty friends around Take me off your worry list Just throw it away Well, it's time to stand up on my own for her 'Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up Everything is quiet and covered in snow There's something wrong here Nobody's at home Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Now, I'm back in the driver's seat Heading back home Yeah, back to Texas on my own Take me off your worry list It'll be better that way And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty friends around Take me off your worry list Just throw it away Yeah, it's time to stand up on my own for her I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today This is what my story's about I might have been gone but I never walked out I'm packin' it up, and I'm comin' today This is what your story's about My pretty little girl, can you figure it out? If it helps to know so there is no doubt Just listen to the stories Not everything is glorious Some hurt, some love, some shout I fought the world and I lost that bout And you are what my album's about I might have been gone, but I never walked out
