lyrics

these songs don't work. no they don't seem to get across the way you make me feel and the weight of all this loss. i'm not tryna get you back i'm just tryna carry on. so i write another stupid, angsty song. yeah i write another stupid, angsty song.
these songs don't work. no they just hammer in the pain. get this feeling on my cheeks like i've been standing in the rain and then i get this sudden urge to wipe some water from my eye when i think about the time you said goodbye. when i sing about the time you said goodbye.

i know three chords and i can write a melody, but that don't help me get over this misery. i am dying. i'm deathly ill and drowning too. it's all my fault: my songs don't mean a damn to you.

these songs don't work 'cause when they're bringing up the past, they just serve to remind me that it all went by so fast and though i have more than enough to fill a solid-length cd, that don't change the fact that you're not here with me. nothing can change the fact that you're not here with me.
these songs don't help. no, they just seem to make it worse. i'll trade in my Volvo wagon for a brand spanking new hearse and baby i don't wanna drive yeah you can stick me in the back as i try and find salvation in this track. yeah i try and find salvation in this track.
