Lyrics

Verse 1
I walked along dirt roads chasing shadows in the dust, Trying to push my love away, but losing all my trust.
It's taken me a while, as memories fade so slow, to see scatter pieces of my love for buzzards flying low.

Chorus
We got lost on our path to love, now I can't give you anymore. You're acting like a foolish child tryin' to slam the door.
Now you know I can see right through you and your homegrown lies, and it makes me wonder how our love survives this time.

Verse 2
You come home late again with stories that don't fit, I've seen that look before, and I know you're full of it.
Your words were sweet as honey, but they turned to sour grapes, and made me believe...somehow, I owned your mistakes.

Chorus
We got lost on our path to love, now I can't give you anymore. You're acting like a foolish child as you slam the door.
Now you know I can see right through you and your homegrown lies, and it makes me wonder how our love survives this time.

Bridge
Is love just a sweet song, that moves us to tears? Or is it the reason we hold on for years?
Don't creep inside my shadows; don't come pounding on my door. For your information, I don't love you anymore.

Verse 3
The old porch swing still creaks at night; it haunts my memories. The carefree laughter as we rolled in piles of Autumn leaves.
The haunted past can linger, soft whispers in the wind, and put you through the wringer, when love comes to an end. When love comes to an end... yeah, ain't no fairytale, my friend. Mmmm

Chorus
We got lost on our path to love, now I can't give you anymore. You're acting like a foolish child as you slam the bedroom door.
Now you know I can see right through you and your homegrown lies, and it makes me wonder how our love survives this time, when you're no longer mine...not mine.
