She always said she loved the Garden District.
She said she warned me, I must have missed it.
I fumble with words to describe all of the feelings I held inside.
And this pain isn't cured by any drug they prescribe, all I am doing is wasting time.
I want to find something that's worth giving up.
I never thought I'd see the day, you'd end up throwing me away. I never thought the time would come, you'd blame me for everything he's done, and use your words against me like a gun.
I built you up, I led you out of your longest lasting drought. You left me dry, you threw me out, what's there left for me to care about?
I was searching for love in a place that gave up on me long ago.
I dove in too deep and got transformed underneath, the fear that came with is now too much for me.
She never had this hate for me, when her lip was between my teeth.
I was the match that set her confidence aglow.
I never thought I'd see the day, you'd end up throwing me away. I never thought the time would come, you'd blame me for everything he's done, and use your words against me like a gun.
I built you up, I led you out of your longest lasting drought. You left me dry, you threw me out, what's there left for me to care about?
Although you were my first, don’t think you’ll be my last.
You will always have a part of me, but I’ll do my best to hide it.
And make room for a someone else, who can help me get past,
all the times we shared and how you couldn't make them last.
