lucinda williams cranked up on my stereo
she is so honest
she reminds me of the days
about a year ago
maybe i just need to hear it
need to get it out of my system
you left your true love
and god knows that you missed him
who was i,
to think that i could make a difference?
perhaps i did, but circumstances
lead me to believe
you had to leave
there was no choice
you heard his voice ring louder in your mind
louder than mine
so, i had to take it on the cheek
and in the heart the same
you were not playing me
i was not part of a game
i realize this
and that is why
i cannot place the blame on you
but, i really hope you see that my love is true
i think you do
and maybe some night you will just press play
and hear the words that girl had to say
maybe hear them in my voice
and know you had a choice
