I jumped on a freight in Monticello,
Didn't know where it was going - you
Had given up on me, baby -
So, I'd given up on you.
A rumbling song as the train rolled on,
I had plenty-a shine to drink-
I was trying anything I could,
So I wouldn't have to think.

Few and far between
Are  the hopes I'll ever have
Of loving someone who's loving me.
I've been taken to pity,
Like surely others have.
All of my dreams
Are few and far between.

I could still remember how
You said you wished that I would leave.   
I'm giving you what you wanted.
Something you can believe.
You won't hear from me, anymore.
I know that to you I'm dead.
I won't ever haunt you,
Like your words that won't leave my head.

Few and far between
Are the hopes I'll ever have,
Of loving someone who's loving me.
I've been taken to pity,
Like surely others have.
All of my dreams,
Are few and far between.

The boxcar slowed in the railway yard.
I jump off - the gravel cut up me knee.
I heard them barking, so I took off a'running.
The dogs were closing in on me.
I made it to the Vieux Carr'e
Before the St. Louis clock struck three.
Tell the children I love them.
Or better, tell 'em not to think of me.

Few and far between
Are the hopes I'll ever have,
Of loving someone who's loving me.
I've been taken to pity,
Like surely others have.
All of my dreams,
Are few and far between.

I'll always wish it was different.
I hope you find somebody new,
Hope you find the kids a daddy
Who's good to them and you.
I hope you know that I really tried
To be the man you needed me to be.
I couldn't keep you from happiness,
You couldn't keep me from being me.

Few and far between
Are the hopes I'll ever have,
Of loving someone who's loving me.
I've been taken to pity,
Like surely others have.
All of my dreams,
Are few and far between.

Maybe i should feel less

Love you less

Think about you less

Cherish you less
So that no matter what you do, I wont get hurt


But I cant.
I cant let you feel the pain of that little boy crying in the shower while balled up into his knees

I cant let you feel the pain of that little boy thinking about jumping off every building

I cant let you feel the pain of that little boy as he brings that sharp knife closer and closer to his wrist

I cant let you feel the pain Ive felt


So come here, and break me. Ill welcome you with open arms.

Ill be fine


*As long as I see your beautiful smile

And with each message I've sent to you

I've sent a part of my heart

And with each message you've walked by from

A little part of me dies inside


*Lets hope I last til the end of the night

And as we walked down the road bathed in moonlight; with our hands intertwined. Filling the streets with our laughter and joy, I felt something completely new. I felt my heart beating for the first time in a long time. Like lava slowly filling the insides of my chest, i felt warmth. Not from the clothes that were covering my back, but from the love I could see all over your beautiful face; from your sparkling eyes, to your scrunchy nose, down to your rosy lips. And at that moment, all i knew was that this girl in front of me made me the happiest man alive.

Youve taken a lot of my firsts
But the greatest one was under the moonlight
As we walked with our hands intertwined
With all the bustling cars around us
We both had smiles on our faces
And I swear on myself

That was a first

The first ever time that i felt for even a split second
That everything was going to be alright

Questions fill my mind.

What's gonna happen?
Am I going to lose you?
Would you care if I disappeared?
Would your heart shed even a single tear in my absence because right now i dont know.
I dont know. I dont know. I dont know.

What I am to you......

It's a mess, our lives.
And you've been staring at the broken pieces as time passes by.
That's why,
I have to see you.
I have to hug you.
And I promise I'll love you,
Not because of an obligation,
But because you're just simply too amazing.

So listen to me, things are going to be alright.
Things are going to be okay.
Because I'll give up everything I have
To see that smile once again.
