It Ain't Up To Me

(album: Country Born - 2022)

I'd pick roses till my fingers bled
Write a million songs about regret
But I don't think that would be much use
I'd say sorry til these lungs gave out
Buy every diamond in this town
Do everything that I'm supposed to do
If I had a choice
I'd take it all back
But it don't work like that cause

It ain't up to me
Since she walked out
We don't talk now
Time and distance
Just didn't fix this and
It ain't up to me
It's all out of my hands
Who she loves and where she lands
Every night when she falls asleep
Cause That girl's waking up to someone
And it ain't up to me

She's probably turning off her third alarm
Crawling back into his arms
Cause I was dumb enough to let her out of mine
Still think we could've made this work
But I made a mess and I made it worse
No stopping her when she makes up her mind
Now

It ain't up to me
Since she walked out
We don't talk now
Time and distance
Just didn't fix this and
It ain't up to me
It's all out of my hands
Who she loves and where she lands
Every night when she falls asleep
That girl's waking up to someone
And it ain't up to me

Bet she still has that dream
Of church bells in the spring
Her mom and daddy smile
As she walks up that aisle
But it ain't up to me

Since she walked out
We don't talk now
Time and distance
Yeah Just didn't fix this and
It ain't up to me
It's all out of my hands
Who she loves and where she lands
Every night when she falls asleep
That girl's waking up to someone
Yeah That girl's waking up to someone
And it ain't up to me
