I don't care that you don't care I could smell the magic in the air I could see them standin' in the square Her friend was blonde, and she had brown hair I was always one to take a chance, but this girl wouldn't even shake my hand I met this girl in Abbeville who said she doesn't shake hands and she never will make new friends, she's just some chick that follows trends I can't even remember her name Ah hell I can't even remember her face Oh well you can't win 'em all You can't get high if you're too scared to fall But I don't know what I did wrong Now she's just some lines in a song I don't know, it's not fair She squealed tires gettin' out of there...

I always find my way back here Singing some other sweet nothing in your ear I always find some empty word to say some other empty chord to play I always find a way back into your hearts I kept my key I hope you're never a stranger to me There's nothing quite like this place I'll always make it even if I'm late There's blood all over my guitar It won't get me there...but hey! It's a start Put my stamp on time itself, tainted words for tainted hearts I get my ideas from the bottom shelf sincerity is a lost art, put fire to your soul and watch it melt Fate, my friend...you say the strangest things It's always a broken heart or a broken string

Lately, I've been feeling kind of down I think it's cause I'm in this town 20 years and nothing to show The whole world in my hands and nowhere to go Lately, I been thinkin I just need a fix I need to get the hell out of Ninety Six Cause it's not like you forgot I can't act like what I'm not I'm a thief and I'm a liar and this place is just gas on the fire I was half lit on bad decisions alone I called you, but you didn't pick up the phone All this misery can't just be in my head Get busy livn' or get busy gettin' dead Cause it's not like you forgot I can't act like what I'm not And lately I've been thinking how I should Get the hell out of Greenwood Cause I'm a thief and a liar and you people are just gas on the fire

Half There 01:52
Your faith was gone and you wanted proof Your eyes were cold and you wanted the truth But I just couldn't let it pass my lips You could smell the mistakes on my breath and I could feel the weight on my chest I'm at the edge and looking down but from up here things don't look that bad but if you look long enough thngs start to look back I'm half alive or half dead but either way I'm only half there cross the peach fields of Johnston is where my heart lies somewhere beneath those big green eyes but what do you do when words fail? My wings just can't seem to catch the wind too heavy from the weight of what's gone and been I just can't seem to fly too caught up thinking about what used to be mine I'm half alive or half dead either way I'm only half there

I'm a Liar 02:36
What if I told you that you meant everything to me and everywhere you walk the grass turns green what if i told you that fate was blowing like the wind through your hair and I apologize if i stare what if i told you that you're a lot like the breeze and I'm a lot like the sea and we can make waves what if I told you... what if I told you... I'd bet you call me a liar and you'd be right cause... I'm a liar I'm a liar and I'll never learn I'm a liar I'm a liar and I'm gonna burn I remember, I remember that night I remember the moon hanging just right I remember exactly what you wore I remember saying I loved you til my throught was sore I remember I remember I remember but you forgot! you put me out like a cigarette and now I'm just like ash in the wind I'd bet anything even my soul that all you could was shake your head no I'd bet anything even my heart that you were gambler from the start but you woulda lost that bet bitch cause I'm a liar a god damn liar and I'll never learn I'm a liar I'm a god damn liar and i'll never learn
