ONE NIGHT STANDS

One night stands are band aids

To cover open wounds

Drenched in liquor’s fumes

Don’t you feel lonely too?

Aren’t you lonely too?

 

One night stands are pain pills

Not a notch in my belt

Or a trophy to be held

But a person to be felt

A person to be felt

 

Sorry I never called

Darlin, it’s not you

It’s me, I’m not the man I want to be

Sorry I never called

Don’t take it personally

But you could never be the one she was for me

The one she was for me

 

One night stands are crutches

To help me walk the road

To lighten up the load

As I walk it alone

Have you ever been alone?

 

One night stands are hard drugs

To block the future from the past

But they never seem to last

It’s over way too fast

Morning comes way too fast

                                                                                          

Sorry I never called

Darlin, it’s not you

It’s me, I’m not the man I want to be

Sorry I never called

Don’t take it personally

But you could never be the one she was for me

The one you’ll never be
