Lyric In The Tradition

(Gary Burr, Jack Blades)

Here I am hearin the same old good advice
Surrounded by fools who could swear each heart loves twice
I can t pretend everything s good
Believe me I wish that I could

I can t fake a smile through the evenin
I ll probably crack if the pain s too strong
Play a song for me
But it has to be
In the tradition of love gone wrong

I ve noticed today I have one less friend to call
And no one to tell me it s all right as my world starts to fall
I m doing the best that I can
And I ve had all the help I can stand

I m ready to crash, yes I am
But I ll hide it the best that I can
