It was our second date and everything seemed so right
We went to dinner and hung out through the night
We went back to my house after closing time
Lit some candles and opened up a bottle of wine
She took down my guitar and asked me to play some songs
And then she wonder how so many things could go wrong
She said my songs made her feel insecure
She didnÕt want me to write any songs about her
Chorus:
Well I shouldnÕt have sung my songs to that girl
She didnÕt like what she saw in my world
It took me all night long to explain
They are just songs that I write to stay sane
When YouÕve got the blues but donÕt believe in therapy
When art is your salvation and hope for liberty
The things that you imagine on the page
Might expose unsuspecting people to your rage
Chorus:
ThereÕs a lesson to be learned when youÕre singing your sad tunes
About your problems which to others may seem picayune
Your friends might be afraid that if they do you wrong
They might end up in one of your songs
Chorus:
