Tag: Walking on Egg Shells

So while all the years of wisdom washes down the drain …..any one  care to throw in the obligatory “I told you so’s”?

Coffee and Cigarettes~ Michelle Featherstone

But don’t say I didn’t try…….I put myself out there like I always do, I stood on the frontline…..

” I gave up coffee and cigarettes
I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
I thought my problems would just dissipate
And all my pain would be in yesterday”

I am just as bad…..takes me awhile to catch on…..

“I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
And watched my bad habits get flushed away
I thought that that would keep my head on straight
And all my pain would be in yesterday”

It got me thinking though…..I never was in the right…..

” I thought that if I didn’t go and play
The sadness would get bored and go away
I thought that if I didn’t go astray
That all my pain would be in yesterday”

I asked for too much….I always did….

“I sold my guitar and my piano
I thought that it was these that kept me low
I thought if only I could try and change
That all my pain would be in yesterday”

You were right…..words are just words ….written on paper….. never mean anything….hollow meaningless words……that make a lot of noise….

I guess it’s now my turn to walk on egg shells…..

“But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you”
