lyrics

You can stop a beating heart with good intentions
You can take apart a life and still be kind
I was strong enough to stand by my conviction
These are things I tell myself from time to time

I still drink when I’m alone and far too often
I get sad and then I drive around this town
And every year when summer slips away to autumn
I get scared of winter coming back around

Is it ash or snow
There’s no way for sure of knowing
If you’re going through hell
Well you might as well keep going
For all I know won’t be forgiven
And as I go I pray that I can change
But lord I know as long as I’m living
There ain’t no hope I’ll always be this way

Head out east among the pines and just keep going
All the cinders make it worth the traveling
I want to ride that train I’m hearing in the distance
But it won’t take me far enough from who I’ve been

She won’t get to hear this song or think about me
Still I had to say these words and sing this tune
And I leave you this my last and true confession
So you won’t think of me the way you seem to do
