\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Trying To Get Back<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, hello there?<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t seen you in a long, long time.<\/p>\n

Where you been hiding?<\/p>\n

You never were a close friend of mine.<\/p>\n

You say you\u2019re sorry?<\/p>\n

Is time supposed to heal all wounds?<\/p>\n

You have a story?<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say it hasn\u2019t come too soon.<\/p>\n

Your all alone now?<\/p>\n

Well, welcome to the loners club.<\/p>\n

I need to listen?<\/p>\n

Are you going to drag me through the mud?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re starting over?<\/p>\n

I know that could spell certain doom.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve learned a lesson?<\/p>\n

Is that supposed to brighten up the gloom?<\/p>\n

You want to tell me?<\/p>\n

That is something I fear the most.<\/p>\n

How it went down?<\/p>\n

I feel like I\u2019m at a \u2018celebrity roast.\u2019<\/p>\n

You\u2019re wanting back now?<\/p>\n

Do I have a label saying fool on my forehead?<\/p>\n

Just one chance?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m the \u201cLast Chance Caf\u00e9\u201d, or you\u2019re dead?<\/p>\n

Not a guilt trip?<\/p>\n

Just forty miles of bad road. No end in sight.<\/p>\n

A girl I\u2019m with?<\/p>\n

No, no girl, which means less chance for a fight.<\/p>\n

Well, come on now?<\/p>\n

Have you been listening to me at all?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not over?<\/p>\n

Does a one legged man ever take a fall?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not willing?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not even considering jumping into the fire.<\/p>\n

I have changed now. I\u2019m willing.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to change from a hater to a crier.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re gone, you\u2019re gone?<\/p>\n

Only to be believed when on your epitaph .<\/p>\n

Well now, so long.<\/p>\n

Now that that\u2019s over,—- I\u2019ll hit the sack.<\/p>\n
