Did I Say Something Lyrics

I went out on a limb for you about the time the ice arrived

The branch it broke before we spoke I fell but still survived

Emotionally challenged drinking gold tequila straight

Crawling through the snowy hills and getting home too late

Believing in myself was the first challenge that I face

So many hills to climb so many dreams erased

I found myself some shoes and socks and staggered to my feet

Wandering through this world of woe trying to compete

On that strange enchanted highway laughing at the stars

I dated thirty women and I drank in forty bars

And I think I found my confidence but ended up flat broke

Believing in myself but never sure I spoke

I went out on a limb for you I'll never know quite why

You never really wanted more than one last sad good-bye

I touched a piece of heaven once but couldn't make it last

We had a sense of moments but the moments always passed

They left us both in limbo feeling vacant and confused

No scars upon our eyelids but sure we'd been abused

You found yourself a gadget a plaything and a toy

A person that you called your man who acted like a boy

Hiding in his closet like forgotten pairs of shoes

That gave you what you needed when you had the highway blues

And I think you found your confidence and told another joke

When I told you that I missed you were you ever sure I spoke?

I went out on a limb for you exhausted but alive

Is it really such a strange thing to dissolve and yet survive?

When the poison breeds suspicious thoughts of hunted mystery

That end just like they started you here lying next to me

On a moistened April evening with a virus and a cure

Knowing that I love you but saying I'm not sure

I remember as I fumble through another point of view

The fragments of my heart that kept on washing back to you

And the fragrance of your perfume that kept wafting towards my face

Through candlelight and shadows and another warm embrace

The princess kissed the bullfrog but all he did was croak

Couldn't pay the fee for royalty it was like he never spoke

I went out on a limb for you and found and empty nest

The worst case I imagined was in fact the very best

A blind inauguration as I pledged undying love

A blackbird finch a cardinal a hawk a crow a dove

Flying all around us in a circle of surprise

Another verse a midnight tomb a hope chest full of lies

I've borrowed every song I've ever written just to prove

That something else is nothing more than someone I can't move

The words are just excuses and the meanings tend to fade

When I look at life without the knife and steal another blade

The face of death, another breath, before I start to choke

I keep listening to myself but I'm never sure I spoke
