If You Don't, Don't

what's wrong baby?

don't they treat you like they should?

did you take them for it

or every penny that you could?

we once walked out on the beach and once i almost touched your hand

o, how i dreamed to finally say such things

then only to pretend

don't you know i'm thinking?

driving 405 past midnight

you know i miss you

ninth and ash on a tuesday night

i would write to you from museum mile

toast to you:

your whisper

your smile

up the stairs at the wheatherford

a ghost each place i hide

i left you waiting

at the least could we be friends?

should have never started

ain't that the way it always ends?

on my life i'll try today

there's so much i've felt i should say but

even if your heart would listen i doubt i could explain

so here we are now

a sip of wine

a sip of water

someday maybe

maybe someday we'll be smarter

i'm sorry that i'm such a mess

i drank all my money could get,

took everything that you had and never loved you back

would you mean this please if it happens?

won't you get your story straight?

if you don't know, honey why'd you just say so?

i need this now more than i ever did

if you don't know,

well honey,

then you don't
