Story Behind The Song
Tim Horsley wrote most of the music for this song - the form of the song. I just happened to walk through the room while he was working on it. I said, "Oh, I like that a lot. Let me mess with a melody." I wrote the melody and lyrics pretty much at the same time. Then Tim said, "This song isn't about me, is it?" Ha ha. I like the intervals in the verses especially.

Lyrics
(Verse)
You hurt me when we talked on the phone.
Words went deeper than any stone.
When you make me cry
What goes through your mind
Are you just walking down yourself avenue
I can't make you see me
I can't make you try
(Chorus)
You drink you
You sleep you
You think you
You'll keep you
My mind says run so fast you've got to get away
My heart says you can last and he might change someday
I don't know what to choose
Either way I loose
You or my own dignity
