For a Friend

your builD hAs changed you'Ve grown into your skIn
and I can't look at your hanDs without knowing I used to know them
you used to have clouds painted on your ceiling
is it selfish for me to be glad she never got to see them?
do you still play james taylor?
does she hate it like i know she does?
cause sometimes it seems i know her better than i know myself
so why didn't i think she'd take you if it's what she wanted?
I didn't know my best friend could break my heart but she is
and she's giving you what i couldn't
swimming at night in the summertime should feel alright
but i'm counting stars so i don't realize you're touching in the dark
maybe i'm always bitter but being home hasn't been sweet
i'm sorry i needed my best friend to survive the Carolina heat
it isn't that you took her from me, it's that you took my heart and never cared about me
and now she's taking you without caring
yes Tess, Yes Tess.. I'm actually hurting
I've been through this before with him
I guess i thought you'd be different
remember those times i'd sit in his driveway and cry while he was upstairs with another girl
when he moved out of that house I'd sit in that driveway and think about all the mistakes i let him make
and all this breaking i can take
he made me think i needed my innocence for him to want me
i wish i never let him have me
there is one thing i need to know
is my best friend a good substitute for the feelings i taught you?

DRAG BAR

I'm standing in a drag bar and it feels like i've got a broken heart
i know you're driving through the west with your camera
while i'm feeling home sick
when you come home will you be pissed?
if i show up at your house with that Journal i've been keeping
I thOught I would Have torN out those pages by now
but like that scar on my hand from the first night we met they're still there
are you over it?
cause i'm not through with you
and we sure made a mess but i know i'm so bad for you
what kind of love is this that leaves you this damaged?
are you over it?
you keep sending me pictures on the west coast beach
is it just to mock me, or do you really miss me?
do you not hate what you did to me?
don't ya know i'm not one to give up
and i guess fate isn't what i thought it was
are you over it?
cause i'm not through with you
and we sure made a mess but i know i'm so bad for you
what kind of love is this that leaves you this damaged?
are you over it?
I know you're over it
I guess that's how it's supposed to be cause i'm only 18
and you're 22 and if i was you I'd hate me too

i've been listening to him talk about her again
on his bedroom floor sitting like a little kid
everything's okay when he's not in his head
or when he's not alone coming Down in bed
he keeps wAking up half rolling
he walks down stairs not knowing how he did it
will he get clean or will he stay like this?
falling in loVe with an addIction
I Don't wanna go to the party
cause he's in love with molly
i wish i was that addictive
and there's nothing i can do to fix it
i wish i was molly
he wants molly to see him like i do
to have patience and love for him too
he's been thinking about leaving her behind
moving far away learning how to say goodbye
he'll listen to Joni's blue with me
let me tell him how i think he can fix things
and i wonder if he'll ever feel free, or if he'll always need a vice to feel something
I Don't wanna go to the party
cause he's in love with molly
i wish i was that addictive
and there's nothing i can do to fix it
i wish i was molly
I wish i was invited to the party
i don't care that you've got problems with molly
i just wanna be with you
i'm sorry addiction loves you more than i do
i hate molly

do you miss me like I MISS YOU
are you dreaming of me too?
i have dreams where you're laying unconscious
i'm so scared that you'll drowned in the darkness
did you think it would get to this where we can't even speak?
am i always in the back of your head?
are you worried about me?
is it selfish that i got kinda jealous she doesn't have to live another day
she'll be remembered beautiful and gentile
i want you to think of me that way
what were you doing when you got the call?
were you happy or anticipating another fall?
you were supposed to get better
what if the sun doesn't come up in the morning?
what if i never see you again would it matter?
i'm so sorry you never got to say goodbye
i wish i didn't know what that was like

Family <3

singing and playing it all came from my parents
from the first day i breathed my momma made sure i could sing
patience is key and jesus is really all you need
be kind when you don't wanna be
my dad taught me how to treat people right
no matter how much money they have
or what their skin looks like
he traveled all the way across the whole united states
to figure out what he wanted and then he fell in love
my brother taught me how to shoot a gun and fight but most of all how to be a good friend through it all
honesty is positively the most important thing to me because of him
he doesn't even know it yet
my cream guitar my white 2001 car were all my oldest brothers first
he took me to my first concerts
he showed me what true love was like
he was writing songs about her long before she called him "mine"
and now she's his bride
(((((and now they have banjo and murphy)))))
when i'm in Nashville i know they'll come and visit me
but eventually my mom will be so proud of me
when i'm finally happy
