Nothing New

I would've loved to be in your life
but I couldn't stand in line
it was me and you against the world one time
then you took off to take that world
with your cheatin' ways and your brown eyed girls
and you and I both know that you won't go that far at all
too many women and too much time
not enough love now that you're done with mine
you took the high road to the lowest low and there you'll find
that its sad but true
all those things you do
thought you were hurting me
but the only victim here was you
say you're jealous of my game
I played by the rules, the ones I knew I could break
thought be goin' out my mind tryin to get you back
but I was wrong this time
tried hard not to take that fall
a long time coming, my how time crawls
fed me your lies; therein lies your one true fault
it's nothing new
all those things you do
thought you were hurting me
but the only victim here was you
it's nothing new
all those things you do
thought you were hurting me
but the only victim here was you
it's nothing new
all those things you do
thought you were hurting me
but the only victim here was you
I would've loved to be in your life
but I couldn't stand in line
it was me and you against the world one time
say you're jealous of my game
I played by the rules, the ones I knew I could break
thought'd be goin' out my mind tryin to get you back
but I was wrong this time
it's nothing new
all those things you do
thought you were hurting me
but the only victim here was you
its sad but true
all those things you do
thought you were hurting me
but the only victim here was you

Run Away

this touch feels so wrong
like ice upon my skin
though its taken so long to reap what I've sown
and I still haven't realized
for the better part of my life
my love was strong for you
does it make it any better to live without me?
why can't I just run away
why can't I just run away
I used to take my time when holding you
nowadays its so lonely here in my bed
and sooner or later
when these nights are too long
I'll find someone new
but I'm afraid that I'll find all I want is you
if you could take me home again would we still get along
sometimes I can't help but think though I know its wrong
can you take it all away from me if you please
because I'm not the same as when it was you and me
now I know that this is over
and I know that I was wrong
well I can take the blame for some things
but I'm not the only one at fault
it gets harder to remember
when both time and fate deny
and if you question my sincerity
just look into my...
no longer will I bother with broken dreams
no longer will I look back at you and me
I can't run away but that don't mean that I can't leave
I just wish it didnt take this much to make me see

I don't know about this crazy notion
that he was the right man from the start
you know he lies to me just to keep from talking
about all the things that are tearing us apart
he knows the way to make me go crazy
he can tear me down with just the slightest touch
and it makes me sick when he comes home and says to me
"girl I love you but I think we've had enough"
take me back to the place I was before
back when all of this was still new
when my man first had the thought that I was the one
I could look him in the eyes and I could break his heart in two
so now hes gone and I'm here all alone
he made it my fault when the blame was his
and I tried to be the good woman I knew I was
but meanwhile he had another wife and another kid
about two years gone by when I got the news
he took it upon himself with his old man's gun
he left a note that read "I'm sorry girl"
and even though he lived alone he addressed it to 'my love'
now that he's gone for good I can't help but cry
even though that man made me mad no man deserves to die
I can't look back now with fond memories
cause they died with him they were never a part of me
