Old Ways

I’m back again to my old ways

days of not 
giving a fuck

nobody to answer to

nobody to come home to

Just me and my loneliness
this life is such a beautiful mess
Got my guitar and these songs
big happy family of one

maybe it’s something new
these old ways
them old blues
rainbows and sunshine
somewhere on the horizon

wake up half the time
feeling her suicide
just can’t even stand to think of her
and our beautiful love
became a frozen pond
where bitter memories lay
buried forever with our skeletons
And abandoned fantasies

these old ways
never really got far

it sparkles like an electric dream
suddenly thrown into this world again
in it’s infinite possibilities
this is my new reality

it’s starting to make sense again
songs flowing like beautiful rivers
and my new friends
to trade and share with
our hero stories
exaggerated memories
our hilarious disasters
forgive me my love
but how else am i to live?
for you were my heart

you left me cold
and bleeding out dry
long before we parted
you no longer trusted me
and we became two again
the stage was set
for betrayal and lies
of the worst kind

baby i wanna reach out to you and laugh again
run around naked
singing our silly songs
but i can’t because our love
is dead and gone
and so i’ll just go back
to my old ways again
and i’ll just go back
to my old ways again
oh my old ways again

i’m back again
to my old ways.
