BJ Lee 02:51
BJ Lee wasn’t like you and me, he had different opinions on how things should be He grew tired of our society so he went off to live on his own in the trees Yeah he went into the forest to live off of the land Yeah he went into the forest with nothing but his own hands BJ Lee was reported missing cuz he hadn’t been seen by his friends or family They searched the woods and they marked every tree with a pink piece of ribbon to show where they’d been Yeah they went into the forest to see who they could find Yeah they went into the forest but bj preferred to hide A rancher checking cattle that spring found bjs body propped up by a tree He laid to rest not more than 30 feet from a pink piece of ribbon from the search party He went into the forest to live off of the land He went into the forest and ended up in god’s hands

I know your secrets, I know everything you try to hide from me I know you want him, and I know you don’t want me Should’ve changed your email password so something I couldn’t guess on the first try Have a wonderful life with that bastard Remember the better times when you were my wife Have a nice life You don’t belong here, you belong somewhere on some soft secluded beach Missed what was wrong here Missed what was wrong until you were too far to reach

I’ve done it all, all that I could do I did it all, did it all for you I said it all every way I could I said it all hope you understood Broken amps Broken vans Broken strings Broken dreams are all I have to show I’ve seen it all, all that I can see I’ve seen it all, I’ve seen everything I’ve sang it all every way I could I’ve sang it all hope you understood I’m not going down without a fight not tonight

Pretty Sure 03:44
You’ve the most beautiful face I have seen in my whole life But your insecurities are eating a way my insides You’re pretty sure But you hate yourself I’m pretty sure I’ll never love anyone else All I can think about what might have been and never was The world’s conspiring events against the two of us I’m pretty sure I can’t fix myself I’m pretty sure I’ll never love anyone else I hope this finds you well and in a place you call your own I hope to meet you there someday on some nice Spanish road I’m pretty sure That I hate myself I know for sure I’ll never love anyone else

Lend me your ear and I’ll sing you a song Be glad you’re here cuz you’re right where you wanna be Drowning your sorrows and easing your wrongs Be glad you’re here cuz you’re right where you wanna be All the best plans of all mice and men are often fucked up way before they begin Endeavored to live the life that I have dreamed Played with house money but then gave it all back again But I’m right where I wanna be Every choice you’ve made has lead you here Ready or not you are right where you wanna be Only as time goes by it becomes clear There is no fate or god, there is no destiny Seems life is over before it’s begun You know that you’re old when you envy the young Made my mistakes but mistakes that I’ve loved Do it again cuz I’m right where I wanna be Yeah I’m right where I wanna be

Lost a glove, only one just in time for winter Almost new, hardly used, just in time for winter Now one hand is cold but not as cold as my insides as my heart implodes But I’ll soldier on till the snow is gone with one hand and my heart exposed Walk alone headed home, January winter A thick malaise permeates, I hate this fucking winter The night is cold and clear and still without a breeze My lungs are full of air so chilled I cannot breathe They say when you freeze to death it’s just like falling asleep Yeah I could fall asleep Don’t want to fall asleep But one hand is cold but not as cold as my insides as my heart implodes But I’ll soldier on till the snow is gone with one hand and my heart exposed

One hundred billion people lived and died on this earth I’m just another one of them, for what it’s worth Soon enough I’ll become dust, or just a soul It reassures me and helps me know I guess it doesn’t matter I guess it doesn’t matter That you don’t love me anymore Two hundred billion galaxies in the universe Maybe there’s planets just like earth Maybe the alien of me in some bizarro world Managed to hang on and keep his girl Five hundred trillion molecules in my DNA Are all that makes me feel this way It’s nothing more than chemicals being chemicals A simple reaction and that is all
8.
Faster 03:04
I thought you had come Faster than you did last time I thought we were done But you keep saying that youre mine I can’t see a single reason why you would want to cross that line I thought you had come faster than you did last time See you blowing up my phone again Thought that we were nothing more than friends. You show up late, you’re wanting more Don’t know why I ever let you in Thought that we could keep it innocent Till I slammed you up on the bedroom door

Take away the scene we live in all that’s left is bones and skin Feed your ego but how do we know if that does any good at all Does that make you happy? Take the furnishings from this place all that’s left is empty space Go out shopping never stopping Try to fill the void you have Does that make you happy? I got 14 beers in my refridgerator and some taco bell that I can finish later So call in sick to work and have a drink with me Cuz it don’t take much to make me satiated If you stayed a while I’d sure appreciate it We can both fall asleep and I would be happy Cuz that’s all I need Take away all your transgressions, what is left is pretty dull If you were perfect would it be worth it to even be alive at all And would you be happy? Take it all away from me I got everything I need A comfy place to sleep 14 beers and you right here Are all I need tonight yeah I’ll be alright

Those 4 words Don’t say them Don’t mean them I’m begging of you Just go on Just pretend Don’t tell me Don’t tell me the truth And tell me what went wrong I played your favorite song The words became erased With nothing but cold in their place You don’t mean To hurt me I know this I know this of you We both know We know this Obvious We know it’s the truth Outro verse Those 4 words Don’t say them Don’t mean them I’m begging of you Those 4 words You’ll say them You’ll tell me “I don’t love you”
