Stone's Throw Goodbye (feat. Nadine Carlo)

from Saving Second Base Preview by Derek Jolley

lyrics

I heard you crying last night and there's nothing I can do.
The memories of your love life
have left you scarred and bruised.
The screaming gets much louder
from that place inside your head.
So you drown it out with pillows, but it never works,
so you decide to try the pills instead.

I had a preschool crush from the moment that I met you.
The next couple days I just couldn't forget you.
Acting like a little girl, little boy, you stole my world.
And ran just like the champ you know you are.
But then you through it in my face,
the thoughts I had I cant erase.
Twisted, tumbled, cracked and burned.
Like a ship that's overturned
But then you through it in my face,
the thoughts I had I cant erase.
Twisted, tumbled, cracked and burned.
Like a ship that's overturned

So am I used, my heart abused?
or am I yours behind closed doors?
Don't let her know that you were with me.
Don't tell me she's your destiny.

I heard you crying last night
and there's nothing I can do.
The memories of your love life
have left you scarred and bruised.
The screaming gets much louder
from that place inside your head.
So you drown it out with pillows,
but it never works, so you decide to try the pills instead.

So am I used, my heart abused?
or am I yours behind closed doors?
Don't let her know that you were with me.
Don't tell me she's your destiny.

I have to wonder if I'm wrong
to wish your better all along.
The stress of life we can't reverse,
it's like our secret private curse.

I have to wonder if I'm wrong
to think your mine all along.
To look at you with hopeful eyes.
This is my stone's throw goodbye.
