Sarah called me Love and asked how I've been

But I was three sheets to the wind

Trying to figure words out

And hide the shake in my voice

Then she sighed and said You know I've played this game

I should've known you would never change

I said It's been a bad scene it's the first I've drank in weeks

Sincerity it had shook my voice

The tears that followed they weren't my choice

I said I missed her bad and I want to make things right

She was taken aback but didn't make a sound

She took a chance to hear me out

She set a time and a place

And she said that we should meet

I see the time we lost treated her well

Can't say the same for myself

She was a Cadillac queen at the age of 23

She smiled softly and takes a seat

I looked away when our eyes would meet

I said I know I fucked up I was scared but dumb to leave

If I could do it again I would make more sense

Of the never was and could've beens

But I'm sober now so at least I'm taking steps

She reflected on the words I said

Compared to the life in which I've lead

There's a stark contrast but I hope the change is clear

'Cause if not

Well at least I did give it a shot

And she said Let's start again

Well I've come a long long way since I started this routine

Ended up in the music scene

Writing my way through life so I don't waste what I bleed

Started playing shows to local crowds

A stranger said Kate would be proud

It made me realize I wrote for more than just myself

Tried to paint a mural on a dirty world

I was still depressed

But self-assured

So I kept to myself and patched up the little hurt

Played it fast and loose till I lost my path

I made a choice I shouldn't have

Now it's 5 years on wishing that this too shall pass

'Cause if not

Well at least I can't say I gave up

And she said What's going on?

Well there was a long night back in Allentown

Where I made a choice and brought the worst of myself out
