Hard Act To Follow

(album: Abington Grove - 2023)

Crawling around all the doubt in my head
Was it ever worth it? We'll never know
I guess you gave up before I could change
Now, you give me new order cut to the bone

If my eyes stay shut, I'm hiding
And if I say, "I'm okay," I'm lying

I gave you more than you'll ever know
And one day, you'll be missing me
More than you'll ever know
And I just hope he's good to you
'Cause I'm a hard act to follow
And when you wake up tomorrow, you'll see
I gave you more than you ever gave to me

All by yourself, you got me all by myself
You say some things that make me think your head left
Then I had left, your presence felt
Then I felt tears rolling, stream down my face
Down with no cup and maybe hoping I forget
Small inside, that felt like when I seen you out with him
You're with someone else
It's sad but okay, well
I gotta move past him
I gotta move past all of them

I gotta move past all of this
I gotta move, I got a kid
I gotta move, I gotta move
I gotta be on something else
I gotta be on someone else
Allah, watch my steps
Allah, help me cope in pain
Allah, I need your help

I gave you more than you'll ever know
And one day, you'll be missing me
More than you'll ever know
And I just hope he's good to you
'Cause I'm a hard act to follow
And when you wake up tomorrow, you'll see
I gave you more than you ever gave

And I'd like to say you're never on my mind
And I only think about you every single night
I only think about you all the time
Truth is I only think about you all the time

I gave you more than you'll ever know
And one day, you'll be missing me
More than you'll ever know
And I just hope he's good to you
'Cause I'm a hard act to follow
And when you wake up tomorrow
Yeah, I'm a hard act to follow
And when you wake up tomorrow, you'll see
I gave you more than you ever gave to me
