Lyrics

You Were Right

Well, I don't drink anymore, I don't drink any less
Smoke two packs a day, cigarettes
Seem too set in my ways, it's too late to change
The phone don't ring anymore, doesn't ring any less
Folks ask about you, everyone says
You were right when you left
You didn't need me

Chorus:
Now the brim of my hat covers my eyes
And sunglasses hide my tears
If time was a heeler of broken hearts
It's gonna take a lot of years
To piece back together what I've blew apart
You were right when you left
You don't need me

I've got to tell you , I'm trying to change
I even attend the local AA
There's no quick fix, for years of neglect
I hope you can forgive, I can't forget
There's no one to blame but me
Yes, you were right when you left
You didn't need me.

I stand surrounded and shackled with shame
For the pain I've caused since you took my name
It hit me while I was alone, in the dark
That losing in love doesn't leave such a scar
As failing yourself demands a new start
You were right when you left
You don't need me.

Repeat Chorus
Now, I don't drink anymore.
