Songs I Wrote

Then What?

Little distance, great change

I hoped this when I left

After my great escape, I learned

You only know how to stay the same

You drive over the bridges left burnt

Insult to injury is your new name

You still play all your same games

Now, you're always there

As much as an empty chair

I've got better places to be

I've got better places to go

So next time you let me down,

Just let me down slow

You've let me down again,

You let me frown again,

You let me drown again

This won't end until I'm in the ground and then...

And then...

And then what?

You try to control everyone else

But you can't control yourself

Once again, you've brought your anger

You feel as cold as a stranger

Still trying to intimidate me

Lost the power to sway me

But who could blame me?

I think you're going soft

You've lost your grip on me

Pretend you've still got it

And see how you look

I've got better places to be

I've got better places to go

So next time you let me down,

Just let me down slow

You've let me down again,

You let me frown again,

You let me drown again

This won't end until I'm in the ground and then...

And then...

And then what?

Then what...? Then what...? What do I do now??

What would you do if I died by your own hand?

If I held up a mirror would it help you understand?

All you see is your own beauty

But before me stands a beast

Won't you back up a little?

Some space to breathe, at least

But I find that your ego is as fragile

As a rose petal on the breeze

I've got better places to be

I've got better places to go

So next time you let me down,

Just let me down slow

You've let me down again,

You let me frown again,

You let me drown again

This won't end until I'm in the ground and then...

And then...

And then what?
