Once I had a woman with a high hand
And I let her treat me mighty low man
She made a lover of my best friend
And now he treats me like a has been
Yes I've had my trouble with the world around me
No, I didn't give it my best
Now I get a chance to see some better weather
Intro
If you want to stay forever, why don't we talk about it now
Guess my reputation says I'm flaky
Hey my whole situation's kinda shaky
Some people 'round here think I've lost it
They drew the line I stepped across it
Yes, I've had my troubles in some certain circles
No I didn't bring it on myself
Now I get a chance to know they'll eat their words
And if you don't care what you've heard, why don't we talk about it now
Sometimes I make it all up in my head
There's a whole lotta things that shoulda never been said
But this new ground feels solid that I'm standin on
I have done some things that might amaze you
But then again most things don't even faze you
You got a way of standin' steadfast
I got a way of runnin' dead last
Yes, I've had my trouble tryin' to start all over
No, I didn't give it all I could
Now, I get a chance to know what love can heal
And I you wanna know the feelin', why don't we talk about it now
Yeah if you wanna know the feelin' why don't we talk about it now
