Story Behind The Song

It happened to me.

Song Description

A song about breaking up with a girl, but trying to remain friends. At home alone, his world falls apart, but on the weekends when they see each other, they act just as they had while together, except there is no romance.

Disarray

My life's in disarray
My thoughts are all unclear
My bills are left un-paid
Because you aren't here

My apartment's never clean
Dirty laundry every where
My fridge is quarantined
Because you're never there

I just can't seem to leave
You behind where you left me
Just keep looking to retrieve
Shreds of what there used to be
Ahhh...

Still we talk on the phone and we'll always be friends
I'll drive to the city to see you again
I walk through your door to a hug and a kiss
And remember the magic times started like this

We go to the movies we walk around town
And I'll blow you a kiss as the lift takes me down
Then I drive back to P-A and fade from your sight
And call up to say that I got home all right
Ahhh...

Every dish is in the sink
And I can't have company
I'm just living on the brink
Since you said goodbye to me

I've got no motivation
To do much more than breathe
Even lost my imagination
Since you said you had to leave
Ahhh....

Then the weekends come 'round that I drive back to you
We walk around town just like we used to do
We push through the crowds with our arms intertwined
Go shopping for dinner and a bottle of wine

We talk and we laugh as we walk down the street
And we look like two lovers to the strangers we meet
But it's bitter delight when I think that they do
'Cause I know they're not right but I wish it were true
I wish it were true...
Ahhh...

Now my life's in disarray
And my world is just a mess
But if you ask if I'm okay
I grit my teeth and tell you yes
If you ask if I'm okay
I grit my teeth and tell you yes
I tell you yes...
Ahhh...
