[Verse 1]
Sitting on the floor alone
Hoping that you might come over
So that I could find a way
To make it up to you somehow
Waking up with growing pains
All the words I didn't say
And the ones I wish I had
Standing right in front of the empty house I call my head
[Chorus]
When we first met, you couldn't put the pen down
Now you got other things that you write all of your books about
And you know that I would give you all my love if you'd let me
Yeah, the feeling's strong, but you're too scared to let yourself be free
[Verse 2]
Hanging clothes up on the porch
There's a T-shirt that I always wore
Ripped up from the night in Georgia
When you tore it off of me in the backseat of your Ford
Now you can't even afford to kiss me
[Chorus]
But, when we first met, you couldn't put the pen down
Now you got other things that you write all of your books about
And you know that I would give you all my love if you'd let me
Yeah, the feeling's strong, but you're too scared to let yourself be free
[Bridge]
And I wonder if ya think of me in bed late at night
Do I even take up space inside your head like you do in mine? (Like you do in mine)
And, when people ask me how you've been, I always say you're doing fine
But, the truth is, I don't really know and I haven't for some time
[Outro]
But, when we first met, I couldn't put the pen down
Now I got other things that I write all of my songs about
And you know that I would give you all my love if you'd let me
I was holding on to somebody I wanted you to be
So, I hope that you found somebody who gives you what you need
We both know that sure as hell could never have been me
