They called you on your bluff
Your good intentions weren't ever
Good enough to keep their minds from making up
Is it alright if I don't come out tonight

And we let the old rules turn their pages for a while?
I'm like a match that won't light
I toe a line I can't fight;
Only as good as "remember whens?
Of the way it used to go
I don't want to know

Play me a song from the legion halls
Back of the van and the truck stop walls
Show me you've got something to say
You know that I'm waiting
I heard they gave you the words to sing
And listening now I can't feel a thing
How does it feel to speak that loud
And know you don't mean it?
