Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Painful song lyrics )
DOWN ON THE SIDEWALK
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

6/8
Two floors up above me,
in sweat you lay with your new man.
You never came home last night like you promised.
You'd said that you loved me.
I guess that's not meaning a damn.
I guess your new friend's not so innocent & harmless.
Day lilies open to greet the new sun
as I open up to my pain.

    DOWN ON THE SIDEWALK, screaming your name,
    the whole neighborhood thinks I'm berserk.
    DOWN ON THE SIDEWALK, going insane,
    acting like some kind of jerk.

It's Six in the morning.
Now, somebody's calling the cops.
Some lunatic's out, just yelling like crazy.
I'd missed all the warnings,
your own way of wanting to stop.
Was I in denial, just blind or just too lazy?
Day lilies open to greet the new sun
as I open up to my pain.

    CHORUS

        I scream-, yeah-,
        & the hurt echoes back caught between these high walls-.
        I scream-, yeah-,
        & you're not coming back. You don't hear me at all-.

Who knows what you're thinking?
Who knows what you wanted from me?
God knows that I'll be much better without you.
God knows and He's winking,
so sure I'll eventually see
I had to go through this whole mess that's been about you.
Day lilies open to greet the new sun
as I open to a new day.   (I've been ... )

    CHORUS

To other negative love song lyrics:   STORIES
ALL OVER YOU
I'M TRADING YOU IN
BEAUTY OF THE SCARS
DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE
I'M NOT THAT DESPERATE YET
SHE WILL NOT SAY SHE'S SORRY
SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO CRY
MASSACRE ON VALENTINE'S NIGHT
NO WAY (THAT I'M GOING BACK HOME YET)
To the TOP
