lyrics

She's on a flight coming to see me
Sippin' Bud Light and reading the ahead seat's magazine.
It's been so long I can't picture her smile, but I try.
Yeah, I try.

And in our home, she's been all alone.
And the damn connection on the telephone,
it ain't so strong, well neither am I, but I try.
Yeah, I try.

She's sick of saying "I miss you."
I'm sick of saying it too,
So I tell her to "take my hand, and never let it go.
I'll hold as tight as you do, maybe more."

She tells me that she's scared to see me,
She don't know who I am or if she feels the same way for me
And all along, I've been feeling so good, so I cry.
Yeah, I cry.

She's sick of saying "I miss you."
I'm sick of saying it too,
So I tell her to "take my hand, and never let it go.
I'll hold as tight as you do, maybe more.
Well, I'll try."

She took my pictures down.
When I got home they were on the ground.
Neatly stacked beside the door.
I never knew my heart could feel so sore.

And as I packed.
I counted off the things I lacked.
Until I pulled another man's clothes from my drawer.
I never would have guessed what was in store.

"You must have known" is what she said.
"You must have known that I would fall for him instead.
I wasn't ready to be that honest with you yet."

So here I am
Wondering what the fuck happened.
She asked for me to hold on till her drugs kicked in.
And once they did she left me for him.

"You must have known" is what she said.
"You must have known that I would fall for him instead.
I wasn't ready to be that honest with you yet."
She wasn't ready to be that honest with me yet.
