I make more and more cash, but my money’s only real when it’s shared, when I could spend it with…

Should I ask for permission to write songs about her so I can play gigs at cafes and bars, recite her vows to the crowd, reveal all her secrets so I’ll make an extra cash? It’s all that’s left to gain from us.

What of those performances if I’m paid with more dollars but have no one to share? ‘Cause at her house last July, she ran upstairs and wasn’t mine. August nights I’m strumming encores to myself in some alley. Now with these dollars I’ll pick up tabs for drunkards at a tavern and let this cash go to waste.

It’s hard enough with just a voice and guitar to rekindle the love.

LYRICS: 

Hey...I have no way left of reaching you now, so... i guess that saying this out loud is the last bit of hope  I'm clinging on to.

I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore. I think I need you more than you need me. I want you to know that I'm so, so proud of you. I thought I knew what it meant to have to be strong, but you... you're stronger than I ever was. Some days I still find it hard to believe. Other days my guilty conscience gets the better of me, and the weight of the world crushes any bit of love I had left within me. 

I wish I could talk to you one last time. I wish I could make things right. Because it's a cruel world, but you took me away from it all... and I'm so sorry. 

There's not a day goes by that I don't find myself staring far out to the horizon and thinking about you, and I can only imagine that this is how the story will continue to unfold for the rest of my life... because I've never loved anyone the way I love you. 

Nothing could ever pull you apart from me.
