Lies Teardrops and Heartaches
written by Phil Hummer
i'm broke and i'm broken
lifes a bust and i'm busted
i got smokes but theres no smoking
my trust can't be trusted
all of these truths i've tried to forget
but they come back to haunt me
every chance that they get
time after time i found out the hard way
between the lines lies teardrops and heartaches
my seams tend to seem less
my signal is distress
more stress than a stress test
been bested by lifes best
was made under duress
my self worth is worthless
can't read readers digest
on the out since the outset
time after time i found out the hard way
between the lines lies teardrops and heartaches
the letter you wrote me was insightful and brief
it said dear you provoke me and i can't stand the grief
signed truly not yours
sincerely long gone
good luck with the chores
adios mr. wrong
time after time i found out the hard way
between the lines lies teardrops and heartaches
