just donna

where it all began

with every heartbeat

i don't recommend getting married on your parents wedding anniversary! uggg, can we just remove oct 27th from all calendars please?

i don’t think that passenger seat
has ever looked this good to me
he tells me about his life
and i count the colors in his eyes
he’ll never fall in love, he swears
as he runs his fingers through his hair
i’m laughing cause i hope he's wrong
and i don't think it ever crossed his mind
[he tells a joke, i fake a smile]
that i know all his favorite songs
and…

i could tell you his favorite color’s green
he loves to argue, born on the 2nd
his sister's beautiful, he has his father’s eyes
and if you ask me if i love him,
i’d lie

he looks around the room,
innocently overlooks the truth
shouldn’t a light go on?
doesn’t he know that i’ve had him memorized for so long?
he sees everything black and white
never let nobody see him cry
i don’t let nobody see me wishing he was mine

i could tell you his favorite color’s green
he loves to argue, born on the 2nd
his sister's beautiful, he has his father’s eyes
and if you ask me if i love him,
i’d lie

he stands there, then walks away
my god if i could only say
i’m holding every breath for you

he’d never tell you, but he can play guitar
i think he can see through everything
but my heart
first thought when i wake up is
my god he’s beautiful
so i put on my make up
and pray for a miracle

yes i could tell you his favorite color’s green
he loves to argue oh and it kills me
his sister’s beautiful he has his father’s eyes
and if you asked me if i love him
if you ask me if i love him
i’d lie

"remember, i loved you first and always."

i move on like a sinners prayer
i let 'em go like a levee breaks
walk away as if i don't care
learn to shoulder my mistakes
i'm built to fade like your favorite song
gettin reckless when there's no need
laugh as your stories ramble on
break my heart but it won't bleed
my only friends are pirates, it's just who i am
i'm better as a memory than as your man

i'm never sure when the truth won't do
i'm pretty good on a lonely night
i move on the way a storm blows through
i never stay, but then again, i might
i struggle sometimes to find the words
always sure until i doubt
walk a line until it blurs
build walls too high to climb out
but i'm honest to a fault, it's just who i am
i'm better as a memory than as your man

i see you leanin', you're bound to fall
i don't wanna be that mistake
i'm just a dreamer, nothing more
you should know it before it gets too late

cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
you never know where they're gonna land
first you're spinning, then you're standing still
left holding a losin' hand
one day you're gonna find someone
right away, you'll know it's true
that all of your seeking is done
its just a part of the passing through

right there in that moment
you'll finally understand
that i was better as a memory than as your man
better as a memory than as your man
