It Ain’t Easy
You walk down the stairs
He’s passed out on the couch again
You pick up the bottles
try to tell him to go to bed
News on TV
The room smells of yesterday’s beer
It’s like he don’t care
It’s like he is running away
You wonder will you see him later as you walk out the door
Or will he be making friends already on the bar room floor
He used to be so funny
He used to be so kind
He used to bring you flowers
And take you out for drinks at night
Now you hardly see him
You miss the touch of a loving man
He only gives out
cause you don’t seem to understand
You wonder will you see him later as you walk out the door
Or will he be making friends already on the bar room floor
It ain’t easy smiling sweetly
When you know
Love dies so slow
It ain’t easy smiling sweetly
When you know
It’s your time to go
You thought about leaving
But you are scared of growing old
Scared of being the only one
Scared of being all alone
So you cry in your sleep
hide away the bitter tears
Keep fooling yourself
Hoping he will change
You wonder will you see him later as you walk out the door
Or will he be making friends already on the bar room floor
It ain’t easy smiling sweetly
When you know
Love dies so slow
It ain’t easy smiling sweetly
When you know
It’s your time to go
There’s nothing here
Left for you
November
When November comes around
It lays a frost on the ground
My body finds it hard to wake up
My mind is lost without a coffee cup
And on a morning just like this
I dream of summer morning mist
In the darkness i beg for some light
like the northern sun in a midsummers night
When November comes around
They put up the Christmas lights all around
Not even sure if they celebrate
or try to remind us how to spend our wage
I can smell the Christmas trees
They cut down thousands every year
The Poor old lady can’t afford to heat her home
How did we get it all so wrong
Some say it’s the best time of the year
So why do I feel like I wanna disappear?
I wanna go somewhere warm and nice
and forget about the freaking ice
But maybe if the snow comes around
Lay’s its blanket on the ground
paints everything white
maybe then we’ll get a bit of light
Greener Grass
Hey fortune teller
Can you look into your crystal ball
and tell me where I am going wrong
Hey gypsy lady
can you read from your cards
can you tell me how I got lost this far
It don’t seem to be
like in those old movies
I used to watch while growing up
Where everybody knew
what they were fighting for
and in the end true love was enough
I am looking for the answer from the bottom of my glass
but it don’t seem to be deep enough
You used to be my anchor now you’re heading for the greener grass
and being alone can be tough
I am looking for the answer something I used to have
only know how good it was once its gone
No I can’t help but wonder did you find your greener grass
or are you still all alone
Still all alone
Can you tell her
Next time you see her
That I am moving on with my life
Even though
I can’t fall asleep alone
Until I pass out from the wine
Life’s cruel irony
Playing it’s tricks on me
Never knew what you had till it’s gone
And you forget about
the mistakes you stumbled on
by the time next one comes along
