As My Old Man Always Said

Loved you once

Loved you twice

Loved you three times what I should have

But to be real I’m lost without you

Fooled me once

Fooled me twice

You fueled my anger from the inside

You’re no fruit of no labor

A spice with no flavor to me

You still lie to your father

Still crawling all over me

Got caught up in our love

Woke up late again

But better late than dead

as my old man always said

And when all falls you keep walking straight

go on and find a pace

for time will ease the pain

and add some wisdom to your name

And I’m a fool to believe that someday you will come to understand

How you used me on purpose

How did you dare to hold my hand

Pretty girls, pretty faces

But I’m too jaded to keep going

I’mma stay low at least for a while

Just to keep me from stepping out of line

Got caught up in our love

Woke up late again

But better late than dead

as my old man always said

Cause when all falls you keep walking straight

go on and find a pace

for time will ease the pain

and add some wisdom to your name

Guess it’s all part of the story

Without love there’s no meaning

That’s how it is and will be

I better bide my time

Guess it’s all fun and games ‘till

Another man has her smiling

It’s how it is and will be

I’ll find the silver lining

Yet I wonder about that silver lining

Yea I wonder about that silver lining
