MUSIC FOR SALE

Take another jar

My glass is empty at the bar
Guess I’ll take another jar
To ease my head or numb my heart
But it ain’t working so far.

The music playing on the juke
Well it ain’t helping with my mood
All I think about is you
And why you do the things you do.

Another sip, another hit
Trying hard to make sense of it
But it don’t make no sense at all
This time the writings on the wall.

You say some space will help us think
And maybe bring us from the brink
But we both know, you’ve thought this through
That’s why you do the things you do.

I know deep down I can’t change your mind
The words you used were so maligned,
Unfair, unjust , unreasonable
Hard to swallow, the bitterest pill.

So I guess I’ll take another jar
To ease my head or numb my heart
And understand what I can do
To live my life without you.
