"The Metro" I'm alone Sitting with my empty glass. My four walls Follow me through my past I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain, And you were waiting there Swimming through apologies. I remember searching for the perfect words. I was hoping you might change your mind. I remember a soldier sleeping next to me. Riding on the Metro. You wore white, Smiling as you took my hand. So removed We spoke of wintertime in France. Minutes passed with shallow words. Years have passed and still the hurt. I can see you now Smiling as you pulled away. I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand. "I'll love you always" filled my eyes. I remember a night we walked along the Sein Riding on the Metro I remember a feeling coming over me The soldier turned then looked away I remember hating you for loving me Riding on the Metro I'm alone Sitting with my broken glass. My four walls Follow me through my past I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain, And you were waiting there Swimming through apologies. I remember searching for the perfect words. I was hoping you might change your mind. I remember a soldier sleeping next to me. Riding on the Metro. ....................................... "Jaked On Green Beers" It's been a long time since I've been close to you It's been a long time since I've been sad. It's been a while since I've really spent time with you Wish I could take back the times that I had. The only thing that you ever really did for me Was make me oh so miserable. And the hope that I never see your face again Is anything but questionable. I hope this is goodbye. I hope this is goodbye. There was a time when I thought you were a friend to me I think those times I was probably just drunk. And if they offered a test about being a good friend I'd put money down that you'd surely flunk. The only thing that you ever really took from me Were my records to sell them for dope. Now all I have left is this heart in my chest And my happiness helping me cope I hope this is goodbye [x4] It's been a long time since I've been close to you.

The only thing that you ever really took from me were my records to Hawk them for dope. Now all I have left is this heart in my chest, Your dishonesty helping me cope. I hope this is goodbye. I hope this is goodbye.... .......................................................
