This Song Don't Make No Sense

(album: Boy From Anderson County To The Moon - 2022)

You always ask why don't you write one
About me and everything we've done
Boy you got so many songs about broken hearts
You didn't know but I did it one night
I made sure that you were in every line
Spent all night getting it right on this guitar
I found it yesterday in a stack of old papers
I wish I coulda told me that a few months later

I'd be reading back everything I wrote that night
From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes
There's words like forever, together and love
I guess you plus me just didn't add up
Oh, but you were still mine on the night
I wrote that back then
Oh, but now you're gone
So this song don't make no sense

Sometimes I wonder if I ever put it out
Would you tell your friends who its really 'bout
Or would you skip it when it comes on the radio
Then again, I should prolly throw it away
Just pretend I never meant what I had to say
'Cause it ain't like you will ever know

I've been reading back everything I wrote that night
From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes
There's words like forever, together and love
I guess you plus me just didn't add up
Oh, but you were still mine on the night
I wrote that back then
Oh, but now you're gone
So this song don't make no sense

Like the day that you said you were leaving
Been trying to find a rhyme to all your damn reasons
I wasted my time and a couple good years
All I got was a song no one will ever hear

I'm reading back everything I wrote that night
From the brown in your hair to the green in your eyes
There's words like forever, together and love
I guess you plus me just didn't add up
Oh, but you were still mine on the night
I wrote that back then
Oh, but now you're gone
So this song don't make no sense
