Got To Play The Blues

"I can feel your body
when I'm lying in bed
there's too much confusion
going around through my head"

Went to bat made a sacrifice
and I did it with zeal
now have the scares to prove it
and lord knows they may never heal

"And it makes me so angry
to know that the flame still burns
why can't I get over?
when will I ever learn?"

Like the sand in the hour glass
evaporates all that priceless time
pour myself into your comfort
but never a time when you were mine

"I can see your face
but I know that it's not real
it's just an illusion
caused by how I used to feel"

Should I be upset with your dealings
no more upset at the fool I played
maybe find comfort in the six string and drink
on the cold desolate bed I have made

"Old love, leave me alone
old love, go on home
go back home"
