Ten Toes Down
• Written by CmCollins
I remember high school 10
just me and you
we didn't need others
we thought we were cool
we were in love 18
everyone knew
you were my babe
i'd never leave you
we graduated high school 23
done at last
spending time together
times moved so fast
Things were not the best
they were only getting worse
my love never weakened
Just got a bit confused
I don't know what happened
our love was not the same
I pushed you to go further
not in a good way
I thought it was ok
you did not feel the same
I wish you would have told me
to prevent all this pain
Fall rolled around
we were doing okay
but it was time to go
try to get my damn degree
I had to move away
I thought it was the best
I thought you'd understand it
Who knew it'd be a mess
I couldn't do the distance
It was hard for you too
I made the worst decision
I had to hurt you
I thought that it'd be better
both of us free
free to date around
free to see where things lead
I knew you'd be fine
guys would kiss the ground you walked on
just wish I could have seen
how your love made my life better
You were my best friend
the only one i could talk to
You made me feel cool, yeah
you made me feel attractive
I tried to talk to girls
yeah I tried to move on
But they don't want someone
with all these open scares
They only want the cute guys
the ones with lots of money
the ones with all the time
the ones without the worry
They don't want me
can't say I blame them
I'm ugly i'm weak
I need so much attention
I go to school in the morning
work all night
yet I still can't even afford
over half the things i needed
I can't take you out
on anything expensive
I cant buy you things
even if you really want them
All I have is love,
and my broken down heart
but nobody wants that
I don't blame 'em
I thought I found a girl
yeah she really seemed to care
until someone spread a rumor
that was messing with her head
It was making things hard
So she called it off
just like that
she up and left me
I tried to make things work
tried to find a good solution
but she just stopped responding
