Broken Sidewalks

from Done. Gone. Folk. by Teo Peralez

lyrics

I know that you're leaving/
And I know that I'm to blame/
There ain;t no use in changing/
It all just ends the same/
I tried so hard to keep you, and you/
You tried so hard to go/
The dreams I made for me and you/
They're scattered to the road...

But another drink, I'll say goodbye/
Another bottle and I can close my eyes/
I'm gonna sing until it hurts/
Leave broken hearts carved in the dirt/
I'll give'em names, let voices crack/
Just like the sidewalks that lead me back/
To the place where we first kissed so long ago...

I finally got the nerve to ask you/
To be my everything/
Knowing you would never believe it was true/
Until you saw that ring/
But that night we sat outside/
And watched the pouring rain/
My dreams flashed before my eyes/
As you shot me down likt lightning once again...

But another drink, I'll say goodbye/
Another bottle and I can close my eyes/
I'm gonna sing until it hurts/
Leave broken hearts carved in the dirt/
I'll give'em names, let voices crack/
Just like the sidewalks that lead me back/
To the place where we first kissed so long ago/
So long ago/
So long ago/
Oh, oh, oh, oh/
So long ago/
So long ago/
So long ago/
Oh, oh/
Oh...

But if you decide you wanna try again/
Come find me 'fore I lose hope/
I'm down where broken sidewalks end/
You know just where to go/
But if you find that I'm not there/
Say my name like you used to do/
Then listen softly to that summer air/
It'll sing this song with you...

But another drink, you'll say goodbye/
Another bottle and you can close my eyes/
You'll wanna sing until it hurts/
Leave broken hearts carved in the dirt/
You'll give'em names, let voices crack/
Just like the sidewalks that lead you back/
To the place where we first kissed so long ago...
