On the last time we met, your love was dead
You held my hand, bit your tongue
Shut me out, spilled my blood all around
Yea it wasn’t easy to be happy for you
Yea I took the poison praying you’d feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yea it wasn’t easy to be happy for you
All alone, you always felt
We dragged you down, gave me hell
Made your bed, now you sleep
On your own, guess we’ll see
Yea it wasn’t easy to be happy for you
Yea I took the poison praying you’d feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yea it wasn’t easy to be happy for you
I know that you tried
But you were no friend of mine
Fallin’ apart
You played it the best, a dame in distress
Yea it wasn’t easy to be happy for you
Yea I wrapped my neck and prayed that you’d feel the noose
I saw the restaurant, table for two
Yea it wasn’t easy to be happy for you
Yea it wasn’t easy to be happy for you
Yea I took the poison praying you’d feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah it wasn’t easy to be happy for you
Yea
Yea
Yea

Leader Of The Landslide

Every night I saw you there
in your old wicker chair
You were wrong, I was right
Didn’t matter any fight
Coffee mug filled it up
I always knew what it was
Been on your side for years
You can never love without crying
Is she dead, is she fine
Every day, every night
Fate has dealt me a lonely blow I say
Try to help it only hurt, in the end I made it worse
Is she dead, is she fine
Every day, every night
Give back my keys, give back my chair
Take back those clothes you always left on the floor
You drove me wild, drove me insane
Drank the whole bottle and forgot my name
All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time
Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide
She left she left the writing’s on the wall
Please believe me, I smell the alcohol
The only thing I know is that we’re in too deep
And maybe when she’s dead and gone I’ll get some sleep
You blamed it all on your kids
We were young, we were innocent
You told me a lie, fuck you for that
Fuck all your pride and fuck all your prayers
And all this time I waited like a fool and for the first time
Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide
She left she left, the writing’s on the wall
Please believe me, don’t answer when she calls
The only thing I know is that we’re in too deep
And maybe when she’s dead and gone I’ll get some sleep
Out there on my own, I was feeling so alone
Like a poltergeist in the afterlife
Faded by degrees, I was shaking in the knees
In the aftermath of this broken glass
Ohhh

Left For Denver

What time was it when you were only 18 years old
You crossed the street, you crossed your legs
You came across a little cold
It was all, it was all fallin’ apart
Fallin’ apart
What time was it when you were in the 8th grade
You brought the bikes up to the high school
You spiked a Gatorade
It was all for, for the weekend
It was all, all still fallin’ apart
I didn’t say you’d be better off if you quit
Everyone laughed as you held on longer than the rest
What made you leave and when you did you left for Denver why?
What did you know that I did not
That I did not
Is it one or is it two or is it three kids now?
They mark the time they draw the lines around your eyelids now
And is it all still for the weekend
Is it all, all still fallin’ apart?
I didn’t say you’d be better off if you quit
Everyone laughed as you held on longer than the rest
What made you leave and when you did you left for Denver why?
What did you know that I did not
That I did not
