“Train Wreck”
written on 4.18.23

there was a time when you and I
both held the steering wheel
but somehow along the way
you made me a passenger in our train

then you threw me out
battered and bruised
now i’m running down the track
away from you, away from you

you’re speeding down a one way
but I’m not afraid
‘cuz you’ll derail
long before you catch me

’cause you can’t slow down
your anger will end up
flipping you upside down
our faults pouring out

Chorus:
and you can’t backtrack
you crossed that bridge
now you blame me
but I’m not the one who refused therapy

blare your horn
screaming what you think
so angry you don’t even check
i’m leaving this train wreck

Bridge:
you’ve got nowhere left to go
maybe you should have thought of
using the brakes long ago

and when you crash
all your lies in the debris
it’s not an accident
the only crime’s you gave up on me

“Broke Down”
written 7.28.22

you rode shotgun by me for years
we could always outrun the storms and dark
now the raindrops on my windshield are tears
falling when two hearts lose their spark

stranded on the side of the road
our fights spin us in circles, now we’re lost
what’s left of us is getting towed
a love choked out in the exhaust

you said we were beyond repair
told me everything was all my fault
gave up on us as if you never cared
regrets tattooed like burnouts in our asphalt

now i’m throwing my life into fifth gear
racing ahead to a better life
know now our past is better in the rear
headin’ to a love that won’t jackknife

and some nights all i have is regret
wished when our crash hit the airbags
this duet now just an empty threat
just caused us to wave a white flag

now there’s nothing left of you and me
pieces of us strewn like debris

“the end”
written on 3.2.16

a line drawn in the sand
blurred by winds of frustration and the unknown
i witnessed our bright future dim to night
and lost grasp of your loving hand

a downward spiral consuming us
we both turned to medication
our life raft really a sinking ship
a fairytale crumbling in front of us

we moved our lips and made small talk
went through the motions and played the part
ignoring the depth led to a bleeding heart
and now my love has all bled out

and we both could point a finger
raise our voice and make verbal jabs
but that won’t bring us back
’cause we self-destructed
and now there’s nothing but aftermath

tied together by a promise
hope of a better life
but I no longer see you as my wife
too many years of heartache and strife
the end of everything wrong or right

“Off Your Couch”
written on 5.26.11

you have me on the phone
trying to play psychologist
telling me i’m not happy
saying i don’t know what i want
but i’m not interested in playing this charade
i’m not one for planning the future
but i’ll tell you what makes my heart beat
and everything that i will be

i will march to the tempo of the music inside me
every step believing in happy endings
and my heart will beat to the pulse of my future love’s heart
and while she’ll hold my hand and my heart
i’ll never stray too far from my friends and family
we’ll strike out to explore the great outdoors
to uncover all the beauty this world holds

so i’m getting off your couch
i’d rather listen to the instincts inside of me
i have too much passion to share
and i’m not content to watch the world pass me by
