Tired Old Phrases Lyrics - Letters In The Deep - Cadillac Sky

I don't know if I've said anything 

in this life that's worth remembering 

Nothing bold, nothing brave 

just these tired old phrases 

And I don't know what they mean 

I've written my old self a letter 

I've moved on, I already forget her 

She's gone, we're alone, far from our home 

but I promised me things would get better 

The Devil is laughing at me 

he knows all the evil I've seen 

And though he helped them begin 

I own all my sins 

And the fault lies clearly with me 

I'm tired of coming home smelly 

half a bottle of Jack in my belly 

My eyes red, my throat sore 

My young body too worn out to still only be in it's twenties 

And I'm sorry for being so bad 

to my dear old mother and dad 

I threw some fits, they put up with it 

and now I owe them all that I am 

Someday when my folks meet their end 

if by chance I live longer than them 

For the love that they gave 

and the music we made 

I'll be proud to have called them my friends
