Still Playing for Pennies



And I'll keep singing that song I wrote for you

even though, you're miles and miles away

but it's a twisted dream in this kinda world

where nothin' ever goes your way.


You will not wait for me and I understand that,

really I do, it's just that caged memories

and ghosts 13 cents short of a bus ride home

are more painful to hold than you'd think.


See, a wannabe husband's promise

is almost never enough and he always finds a way

to replace his perfect girl right before the day

she says yes and the fairy tale begins.


So I'll keep singing this song that I wrote for you,

even though, you're miles and miles away,

and it's been almost a year

since I was replaced by her
