88 Fingers Louie Album

You filled my head with empty promises you never kept
I heard you swear you thought the happy times would never end
Moments we spent together little did you know
I heard about your antics time and time and time again
What your so called friends told me, couldn't get inside my mind
Take your place in history and step aside, tomorrow starts today
The letters sent convey the words you never meant
Tossed in garbage with barely a second thought
Your phone calls go unanswered nothing's left to say
I won't dwell in the past cause what we had has long since gone
Did you really think I was that blind, that I would never see
What your so called friends told my couldn't get inside my mind
Take your place in history and step aside, tomorrow starts today, hey
I never talk to you what good would talking do
I said about all I could say just living for today
I never talk to you, I never talk to you
What good would talking do, but start it over, over
Did you really think I was that blink

Use some sommon sense for once because you take more than you give
Turn a deaf ear on the ones whose problems don't concern you
Selfish means are not an end, my friend
Selfish means are not an end, time for giving up
Never take the time to listen
It's never in your best interest
Don't have enought humiliation to care about the rest
Selfish means are not an end, my friend
Selfish means are not an end, time for giving up
Built a wall that won't come down, desperation's common
No time for answers, just stupid questions
Selfish means are not an end, selfish means are not an end
Time for giving up, this time, this time
Let go of the past and face it

I must say thanks for giving me reasons to talways doubt myself
Is that the way that it should be
Never mind I'm back on my feet
Running away from the problems I can't face
They're not as simple as they seem
Back down (back down)
Cave in (cave in)
Look at the state I'm in, too late to set it right
4 years on it all adds up
Gave you my life and you didn't give a fuck
So chalk one up for lesson learned
Back again and bended knee you no longer have a hold on me
It's safe to say I've got no more regrets
Back Down (back down)
Cave in (cave in)
Look at the state I'm in
Too late to set it right
Set it right
Don't call this a solution you can only blame yourself
I saw though your faults, you didn't see through mine
If you words justify your actions you should've quit while you're ahead
Back down, cave in, look at the state I'm in (state I'm in)

I've been down this lonely road before
I'm here to say it don't get better
That summer photo leaves me hurting more and my opinion doesn't matter
Don't want to think about the fun we had I won't pretend to care
Don't want to hear about what was said, your heart was never there
You said rejection used to turn you on that was your one burning confession
Never the one to care and now you're feeling lonely
I really hope you've learned your lesson
Don't want to think about the fun we had I won't pretend to care
Don't want to think about what was said you're heart was never there
Every time we played the game I thought that I would go insane
My feelings never counted
You played me like a violin, with that silly little grin
My feelings still amounted to nothing, didn't give a damn
Next time you think about what we had just remember all the moments
We shared together while you shared them with those summer photos
you had stolen
Don't want to think about what we had I won't pretend to care
Don't want to think about what was said your heart was never there
Don't want to think about what we had your heart was never there
Don't want to think about what was said I won't pretend to care

I don't need anybody much less a pseudo friend like you
You don't get throught nobody you see the same shit that I do
You're The most two-faced bastard I've ever seen
And I hope and pray that you one day will know just what I mean
The most I ever saw you was when you wanted something more
I did my best to help you you did your best to slam the door
You're the most two-faced bastard I've ever seen
And I hope and pray that you one day will know just what I mean
You have annoyed me to no end I had the nerve to call you friend
Why won't you get of out of my life my back reveals the knife
That you put in me long ago I need a word before you go
Why don't you get out of my life, get out of my life
You're the most two-faced bastard I've ever seen
And I hope and pray that you one day will know just what I mean
I mean

Last night I came home found you sleeping on the couch
Have you been waiting up all evening
I could've sworn that I saw tears flow from your eyes
What's this emotion that I'm feeling
I wrote a love song for you not for myself
A silly love song I don't want nobody else
I wrote a love song for everyone to see
A little love song to get you to stay with me
Over the years we've seen some good times and the bad
We've always ended up together
In the end I hope to see you when it all comes crashing down
Don't wanna fool myself it's you I'll love forever
I got me a crazy tempter that I already know
I don't wanna think about that now
Let me reassure you baby I'm here till the end
That's what I wrote this stupid song about
I wrote a love song for you not for myself
A silly love song I don't want nobody else
I wrote a love song for everyone to see
A little love song to get you to stay with me
I wrote a love song for you not for myself
A silly love song I don't want nobody else
I wrote a love song for everyone to see
A little love song to get you to stay with me

Sit down and take a listen a story
That's my confession of how you came into my life
I wasn't sure if I was ready, I didn't think you were here already
Six weeks before the estimated time
Mom and I were holding hands we didn't think about the demands
With a tap on my right shoulder I looked up and felt so much older
You came along and I was there, I never felt so happy
Through all the hardship and despair I never felt so happy
My baby boy, promise to never make you unhappy
You're my best friend, because you make me happy
And all the times that I screwed up and lost my temper
I hope you haven't given up, we're gonna make up for lost time
To spend some time together who says it's now or never
I wanna show the world you're here, you're here and
As you and I walk holding hands we didn't think about the demands
Having fun and acting crazy, I love you my bouncing baby
You came along and I was there, I never felt so happy
Throughout the hardship and despair, I never felt so happy
My baby boy, you're my best friend, because you make me happy
As you and I walked holding hands, we didn't think about the demands
Having fun and acting crazy, I love you my bouncing baby boy
I love you my bouncing baby boy, I love you my bouncing baby boy
I love you my bouncing baby boy, sleep tight my bouncing baby boy

Sunday's morning paper told me my luck's gonna change
If I could only learn to act my age would I keep from sleeping
Things I read the things I hear my lesson instead I stay so gullible
Monday morning's paper told me the world is gonna end
I don't need time to gather up my friends cause I haven't any
Things I read the things I hear, it all seems so incredible
You'd think by now I'd learn my lesson
Instead I stay so gullible, I'm gullible
Things I read the things I hear, it all seems so incredible
You'd think by now I'd learn my lesson, instead I stay so gullible, go

Always the problem, I speak before I think
I think I need another drink (drink)
I have an answer for everything you say
A perfect time to run away
I won't apologize, or ever change
I'll drink 'till I turn blue, and live another day
Violent reactions the cause of my abuse
I try to stop but it's no use
A simple argument turns ugly when I'm drunk
I'm not the same man you once loved
I won't apologize or ever change
I'll drink 'till I turn blue and live another day
Live another day, another day, another day
I'll drink 'till I turn blue and live another day

Breaking, this breaking up is hard to take
No more apologies to say
The bottom dropped, you tried to change me
It didn't work, it's time to carry on
Anger, my temper made you so afraid
Final decisions have been made
You've gone ahead found a new shoulder to cry upon
I was the last to know
And the worst man won
I've already apologized one hundred times (and the worst man won)
Can you see the pain in my eyes
Take a long hard look (the worst man won)
Should have noticed from the start
How do you mend a broken heart
And now I know the worst man won

Don't talk to me about selling out cause I won't be listening
You're just another jaded kid who doesn't see
I'm making money that's quickly spent
I've got a family you ain't gotta worry 'bout the rent
Is it too much to ask do me a favor close that punk rock rulebook
Cause times have changed and so have I, I need to get by
Don't think I'd blindly take this all, without asking questions
You've waited years for me to fall, and I'm still here
You think you're clever, what do you know
The punk band wagon's taken you where you don't wanna go
Is it too much to ask, do me a favor close the punk rock rulebook
Cause times have changed and so have I, I need to get by
Is it too much to ask, do me a favor close that punk rock rulebook
Cause times have changed and so have I, I need to get by, good bye

Get bored just watching you got better things to do
Don't wanna sniff your glue no one to answer to
You wanna throw your life away or save it for a rainy day
It doesn't matter either way
Get bored just watching you got better things to do
Don't wanna sniff your glue no one to answer to
You wanna throw your life away or save it for a rainy day
It doesn't matter either way
You wanna throw your life away or save it for a rainy day
It doesn't matter either way

Trust what a fucked up word
It's more often misunderstood
The last time we talked was all my fault but I'm not the one to blame
You had a million chances to prove me wrong when I was right
I'm not what you had in mind
Do you remember when things seemed more at ease
Didn't put forth the effort to please ourselves
Now I won't look back and things will never be the same.
You had a million chances to prove me wrong when I was right
I'm not what you had in mind
What's on your mind I need to take a look inside
I gave you a million chances
Don't fool me with those second glances
I need to take a look inside
Beaten beyond a reasonable doubt, do you know what I'm talking about
I've seen it all a million times it's time to take back what was mine
You had a million chances to prove me wrong when I was right
I'm not what you had in mind
I've spent many hours screaming, while my feelings were concealed
Now I wanna take a moment and tell you how I really fell
Don't blame my unforgiveness you can't have what is gone
Quit searching for an answer, what we had is done
Could I ever take it back, and start again.
Today's the day I walk away, and realize this is the end
Trust, some fucked up word you often misunderstood
Last time we talked I took a walk and learned to forget your name

Last call to wake me up and stumble to the street
Don't know if I'm coming or going (one more drink)
So called friends long since departed in the night
Tomorrow morning they'll exaggerate and tell me varied lies
If they only knew what I have seen and what I have been through
The truth is bottled up inside 100 proof
Another weekend spent alone time passing by
Too drunk to pick up the receiver
Feeble attempts to help me go ignored
Don't have the energy or will power to make it anymore
If they only kew what I have seen and what I have been through
The truth is bottled up inside 100 proof

The bourgeoisie had better watch out for me
All throughout this so called nation
We don't want your filthy money
We don't need your innocent bloodshed
We just wanna end your world
Well my mind's made up
Yes it's time for you to pay
Better watch out for me
I'm a member of the F.V.K.

I need to tell this secret be sure to keep it down
If this gets out I don't know what I'll do
I've held it in through many heartaches and all you did was smile
Can't you see I've fallen in love with you, with you
Apology accepted, erase what's in the past
You need me you don't need them
And in spite of my mistakes, I've learned there's so much I can take
I can't believe what I'm saying
Don't walk away so quickly I haven't lost it yet
I just need to be honest with myself
And all the times I've used my shoulder to wipe away the tears
I vowed to see you with nobody else, or else
Apology accepted, erase what's in the past
You need me you don't need them
And in spite of my mistakes, I've learned there's so much more I can take
I can't believe what I'm saying
Then it hits me, fooled again
Into thinking, we'd be more than friends
The messages you left for me, will all go unreturned
I need some time to think about the facts
I opened up my heart to you and you hid yours away
So silence is the best way to react, react
Apology accepted, erase what's in the past
You need me you don't need them
And in spite of my mistakes there's only so much I can take
I can't believe what I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying
