he hit the bottle, she wouldn’t speak
you were fourteen when he cried in the driver's seat
telling his story, shifting the blame
like he was everything you’d want in a drunk husband
he’s been telling that same damn story ever since
never the bachelor, he married again
how could two liars wish for a better match
in a fortress of memories that never took place
they were too deep to see your “fix” came from the dentist
we can’t talk about that mess ever since
it’s nothing, honey
just the same blood
you rose from the ashes of that love
you’re already older than he was
you took the high road cause you know he can’t
weathered Tea Party talk and backhanded compliments
dealt with the fiction searching in vain
for the comfort those old family photos bring
but the truth is you’re the only one who’s changed
it’s nothing, honey
just the same blood
you rose from the ashes of that love
nothing in the past can be undone
when you feel alone don’t get lost
the shadow that they cast can’t touch us
