Help Is On The Way

(album: Dream People & The Whiskey Wars - 2015)

You fell in love with me back when I was a different man
Everything I miss it I'd flip you pictures on your Instagram
But I can't bring myself to call, there's nothing left to say at all
I changed a lot, you stayed the same, I saw the writing was on the wall
I toured Europe twice, and met a girl in Cali while you struggled with your mother and compared me to your daddy cause he left
And I don't wish you nothing but the best while I'm following my heart and living balanced on the edge
Sometimes that's what it takes when you just wanna be the good guy
And the only way to right your wrongs you did is to say goodbye
Don't be scared, don't be afraid, I promise you'll find love again
And when you do then you'll be happy that I chose to walk away
I'm proud of your for swimming when the sea of love was drowning
You ain't staying for my set when all the drunk people were crowding you
I wish that I could help, now I'm living for myself
And I still haven't forgotten when you said to go to hell, yeah

Forget about me, I can't save you, now you'll be okay
I know it's hard to be alone but someone else'll take my place, girl
Help is on the way, help is on the way
Go on without me, I am not the one you wanna chase
I know it's hard out there but I can no longer keep you safe, girl
Help is on the way, the help is on the way

Think about me often, look up at the sky cause I'm not far
Away from you when you're feeling forgotten
Probably looking up at the same stars
When you're left behind cause no one chose to stay
Look up at the clouds and let the rain wash it away
Don't fight the smile that's trying to creep it's way across your face
Everything will work out fine, help is on the way

And even if it's not you'r strong enough without it, I know it
You been kicking rocks but you're strong enough to move boulders
We didn't fall out of love, we grew apart and grew older
I live in my own world, you carry the weight on your shoulders
I'm an artist, it's harder cause your father was
And he left you and your mother to chase his dreams on a charter bus
And he saw the parallels when I left you to chase mine
Help is on the way but you'll have to wait cause it takes time

Forget about me, I can't save you, now you'll be okay
I know it's hard to be alone but someone else'll take my place, girl
Help is on the way, help is on the way
Go on without me, I am not the one you wanna chase
I know it's hard out there but I can no longer keep you safe, girl
Help is on the way, the help is on the way

Think about me often, look up at the sky cause I'm not far
Away from you when you're feeling forgotten
Probably looking up at the same stars
When you're left behind cause no one chose to stay
Look up at the clouds and let the rain wash it away
Don't fight the smile that's trying to creep it's way across your face
Everything will work out fine, help is on the way
