You used to be mine
You used to be
You used to be
You used to be mine
But now you gone
Now you gone
Now you gone
But me I’m just fine

Parachutes
Sliced [bad word] over almond mouse
She caught the last train to El Segundo just a -
Pair-a-shoes, short dress, lipstick and a bad mood
She tossed her hair in the reflection
Of the train car window, the main part of a broken heart
Is the PAIN-PART- Fireworks in the same park
Paradise by the Dashboard lights, lost nights that became dark
Thoughts change to thangs a-part, we need to talk
But you not listening
It was diff-e-rent, couldn’t end it with a kiss-again
Her girlfriend said slip into a warm bath and a glass of wine
Said, everything gets better wit a little time
And little wine – she was good friend – she mustered a chuckle
Then hit END
Wonder-in which was the greater SIN
Couldn’t bare to pretend – pulling her both ways again
The charade of chagrin – curtains closing-in
The show is ending, but when it’s all finished
Did any of them wishes meeeeean anythiiiiing to anyone?
Is there a God listening
To little girls prayers or just more fairytales
They sell to dumb children?
To keep her blind in this wilderness
Concubine to towed-lines lower ceilings
And punch-lines
After time the city sky-line faded she laid her head against
The window, closed her eyes and prayed (Simple)
God protect me where-ever this train ends - I’m starting-over

Starting over –staring over –
Staring over he found a letter on the kitchen counter
He looked around and knew that soundless
Sound of an empty house – he sat his bag down
On the couch, open the envelope – a key fell out
Sounded on the coffee table – like a whole KEY fell-out
Caught by surprise – she said she was happy –
Was it lie and why even take the keys
If you was bout to leave out on day nine
Started with I’m sorry – so-hard to explain
I gotta leave you, gotta make a change
Lately, I been re-assessing a few thangs
Some past choi-ces – I hear voic-es
Telling me – how much they’re disappointed
All I ever WAN-ted, was to make them proud
-See how I’ve [bad word] a WO-man now
Really all it did was keep ya [bad word] in
In and out of everything – including LOVE-in
I’m stubborn, yes - but not enough to expect
-She signed it with RE-GRETS
Two hugs and kisses, he closed the envelope
And wondered what he was miss-ing
Found himself in the car keys in the ignition
Driving WAYY toooo fast for his color in this CIT-Y
Arrived at one-fifty – her apartment was empty
The neighbors was friendly – hadn’t heard any-thing
Said let them know if anything turns up
Or if they can do anything else to help
He sat on the steps – thought he could retrace her steps
Something she said – couldn’t re-mem-ber
No flags were RED, palms on his head
Sank back in the car – lit up a cig-arette
Still no call backs – [bad word] is ridiculous
As he pushed through the City
His heart was shattered – he [bad word] God if you listening
-I [bad word] to you often –
But right now I’m so lost, don’t understand
How she could take our plans
And throw into the naked winds
Have thou forsaken men – for less than good intentions
Went back ov-every sen-TENCE
Every line in detail – still couldn’t make heads or tails
Finally – KNEW he had to make that call
To her parents’ house – they didn’t get a-long
That’s why she moved – out
In the first place – back in them first days
Daddy hated him in the worst – way
And it had been that way since the first date
(248) – braced for the conversation
Six in the AM any parent in they right mind
Gone be impatient – bad [bad word] tend to happen
When the AM phones start ringing
Hello MISS **^&%&
Sorry to bother you – But I’m worried about (%*%&$)
She left a letter and my house keys
I have no clue where she could be
Why she would leave – she ain’t answering my calls
They going right to the V…
MISS **^&%& said excuse me –
She’s here with me – I’m sorry she worried you
That’s really not what she told me…
Either way – she safe, she had [bad word] home
There’s only one greater lover that was ever known…
