People say i care too much
I'm so emotional
A tender soul who's out of control
I've been told a heart like mine
Is truly valuable
Worth even more than diamonds and gold

I'm overloaded with love
I've been saving up
For someone else who can't get enough
I must

I Called Him For Days, He Didn't Answer the Phone
I Drove By His House, I Knew He Was Home
A Week's Worth of Papers and Mail in the Box
I Thought He Was Dead, I Picked the Lock
I Found Him in Tears in the Dark On His Knees
With a Hole in His Chest Where His Heart Used to Be

In the back of the bottom drawer
Of the dresser by our bed
Is a box of odds and ends that I have always kept
But the man who sleeps beside me
Doesn't know it's even there
Little pieces of my past
That I shouldn't have to share

A napkin that is stained with time

I Think I Know What You're About to Say
I Can See It in Your Eyes and On Your Face
We Swore We Never Would
So While the Words Are Still Unspoken
Don't You Think You Should

Take a Breath
Take a Moment
Take Your Time
Before You Lie
'cause Once You Do
Love

I know you don't like me
Don't like the things I do
The saddest part just might be
That I don't like you too
You think you know my story
Well maybe you did for a little while
I guess that's the way it goes sometimes
Between a mother and a child

All my life you'v

Why can't you just believe in me?
Not everyone is the enemy
I'm trying hard I swear I am
I'm doin' the best I can

But I'm Broken
Broken

I'm wagin' war up in my head
Last time I loved it 'bout left me dead
And you're no better off 'cause you got burned too

I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car
Says United States Marines
And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me
Does she think she knows what I stand for
Or the things that I believe
Just by looking at a sticker for the U.S. Marines
On the

It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle
Now the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie" say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

They furnished o

Does anybody really know you?
Can anybody say they truly do?

You swear that you're a hickory tree but
your limbs are loaded down with rotten fruit
You gotta keep on spinnin' around
Never let your worlds collide
'Cause if we all start talkin'
There might be nowhere f

Woke Up This Mornin', Put the Coffe On
Opened Up the Blinds and There Was the Sun
Now, This Ain't Just Another Day
It's the Hardest One I've Ever Faced

Minute By Minute, Tear By Tear
If I Can Hang On and Just Be Strong
Tommorow Will Be Here
The Hurtin' Won't End, It

Everybody Says Don't Lose Your Head
You Gotta Keep That Pretty Smile Upon Your Face
Well I Did That For Awhile But It Just Was Not My Style
I Kept Endin' Up in That Forbidden Place
I'm a Happy Woman But When I Get Knocked to the Ground
I Invite the Blues to Come Around

I Found It in a Pawn Shop in a Ragged Cardboard Case
With the Guns and Dusty Watches It Looked So Out of Place
With a Trailways Baggage Sticker Yellow Frayed and Torn
Destination Nashville September '64

And You Could Tell By the Fingerboard Her Painted Nails Were Long
She O

I heard a real good joke that you would love
And if I'd heard it a few weeks before
I would've reached for the phone and called you up
But we don't do that anymore

I guess we're just old friends who meet like this
In line at the grocery store.
When we say goodbye there

Well I Really Had a Ball Last Night
I Held All the Pretty Boys Tight
I Was Feelin' Single Seein' Double
Wound Up in a Whole Lot of Trouble
But Today I'll Face the Big Fight But
I Really Had a Ball Last Night

When I Came Home From Work This Mornin'
My Baby Was Feelin

Last Night You Came Home Late
You Tried to Tiptoe In
I Sat Here For Hours
Wondering Where You've Been
You Ran Into An Old Friend
And You Just Lost Track of Time
When You Told Me That There Was Something
About the Twinkle in Your Eye

So I Just Laughed It Off

Don't Waste Your Time Givin' Me Your Reasons
Let's Skip the Ceremony of Goodbye
Let's Get Down to the Part Where You Are Leavin'
You Can Space Me All the Who, What, Whens and Whys

Go On and Go
Just Hit the Road
You Won't Find Me Standin' in Your Way
If You're Not Ha

They Married Young, Right Out of School
Back in '78
She Rubbed His Back, He Rubbed Her Feet
After a Long, Hard Day

Now They're Livin' in Beverly Hills
And It's All Turned Upside-down
He Gets a Weekly Massage, She Gets a Pedicure
On Different Sides of Town

And

Taste me in your morning coffee
Feel me in the air
When the sunlight warms your skin
Baby, think of me

See me standing there beside you
When you know that your alone
And hear our conversations when you breathe

And baby,
Tell me where you are
If I can't mak

All the Boys He Played Cards With
Couldn't Wait Til He Came
But They Haven't Seen Him
Since I Got His Last Name
He Plays At Home Now
And He Always Wins
Those Swingin' Doors
Don't Do Nothin' For Him

Cause He Don't Do Bars Anymore
That Ol' Jukebox
Don't Tu

Shut up and drive,
You don't know what you're talkin about
He's not the one
You oughtta know that by now
You've got one of those hearts
Thats keeps changin your mind
Your heart has a way of making you stay
So shut up and drive.

Don't look in the mirror
He mi
