LOST COMPANION You fell out of love again and I fell out of who I am You fell in your head again Well I forgot just who I am I’m the lost companion You fought love with fire again “It’s all fine” well I pretend You walk out that door again and I forgot just who I am I’m the lost companion Lost You fell out of love again and I fell out of who I am You fell in your head again Well I forgot just who I am I’m the lost companion Lost - I’m lost

IF IT’S REALLY GOT TO BE THIS WAY (written by Arthur Alexander) If it's really gotta be this way I can take it, I know I'll just carry on day to day Until I make it on my own (CHORUS) I’ll cry but I'll get by And I'll forgive you girl, by and by Yes I'll forget you someday If it's really gotta be this way If this is what you think you need Then go ahead girl and do it It doesn't make a lot of sense to me But if it's what you want, I'll live through it (CHORUS) In my heart There will always be a place for you In my heart I will always believe We could've made it, you and me (CHORUS) Yes, I'll forget you someday If it's really gotta be this way

NO REGRETS (acoustic) I have spoken like I know When I knew nothing of what I spoke I have lied in the face Of those I truly Love (CHORUS) I’m not a man Who has no regrets I just can’t turn and look at them yet I’m not a man Has no regrets I just can’t turn and look at ‘em yet I have been on the witness stand I have chosen to fake a cry I’ll live, live with that I’ll live with that until I... (CHORUS) I feel them They’re behind They needle me In the back of my mind Oh But I don’t want to see them I don’t want to see them If you don’t mind I have lied in the face Of those i truly Love (CHORUS) I’m not a man Has no regrets I just can’t turn and look at them yet

NEVER DID SHE I went down to the place we said and I waited for my baby to call But never did she never did she never did she never did call Never did she call So I walked along the road that we once walked and I waited for my baby to show But never did she never did she never did she never did show Never did she And I wonder if it could ever be the way she said Or at least a little something like I saw it in my head So I laid naked all night in the pouring rain and I waited for my baby to save me But never did she never did she never did she never did save me Never did she save me So I dried out in that bright yellow sun and I waited for my baby to smile But never did she never did she never did she never did smile Never did she And I wonder if it could have ever been the way she said Or at least a little something like I saw it in my head Time goes by and I still cry wishing that my baby still loved me But never did she never did she never did she never did love the real me Never did she

WHERE DID IT GO ? The grey skies are giving me blue eyes Those blue eyes are dripping like rain Your soft ways have turned to sand paper Your touch now brings nothing but pain And hope is a joke without action so your wishing is dripping in vain You act like some kind of victim While you flush our love right down the drain I don’t wish you sorrow dear I wish we could have seen it clear And found that thing that lit us up so many years ago Oh I loved you so, I Felt like my heart would explode My tunnel eyes , My slamming heart Your loving eyes tore me apart Oh Oh Where did it go ? Your words they are making me wonder But my wonder is losing it’s steam A change keeps seeming like it’s coming But I keep waking to this same (fucking) bad dream And hope it’s a joke without action So your wishing it’s dripping in vain You play it like you’re some kind of victim While you flush our whole life down the drain I don’t wish you sorrow dear I wish we could have seen it clear And found that thing that lit us up So many years ago Oh I loved you so, I Felt like my heart would explode My tunnel eyes , My slamming heart Your loving eyes tore me apart Oh Oh Where did it go ? Oh Oh Where did it go ? The grey skies are giving me blue eyes Those blue eyes are dripping like rain
