Lyrics
ANYMORE
E. Mayhan/T. Bland
Verse
Sometimes I lie in bed?and
Think about the things I said?oh
I probably should have changed the words
Maybe I would have felt the same?
Move through time frame by frame
All you want to do is change the past
When you?re living in a house of glass
Chorus
But now I?ve got both feet planted
Firmly on the ground
And I can?t afford to take second best
So I did what I could do best
And I don?t recognize the sound of you coming around
Anymore!
Verse
Life is short but it felt so long?and
It shouldn?t have to feel this wrong?I was
Hiding in a callused shell?and
Living in a crazy hell
I can?t believe I liked your phony smile
Even for a little while
Were you out of your mind
Or was I
But now I?ve got both feet planted
Firmly on the ground
And I can?t afford to take second best
So I did what I could do best
And I don?t recognize the sound of you
Anymore!
Everyone lives the life they?re dealt?But I
Couldn?t help the way you felt?
This is what we both had to do?
I just Did it in a different way than you
Chorus
But now I?ve got both feet planted
Firmly on the ground
And I can?t afford to take second best
So I did what I could do best
And I don?t recognize the sound of you
