"That's When I Knew"

"That's When I Knew"



It wasn't when you walked out, wasn't when you said goodbye
It wasn't when I sat down and had myself a real good cry
Oh, it wasn't when I tore your picture from the frame
Threw it in the fire and sent it up in flames
I still felt the same

Oh, but then tonight, I met someone
We went out and we had fun
He made me laugh, we danced all night
And I didn't see your face when I was looking in his eyes
That's when I knew
I was over you

I was staying busy, trying to keep you off my mind
Baby, but your memory, it put up a real good fight
Oh, I went out with friends to have a drink or two
They tried to cheer me up, there was nothing they could do
I was missing you

But then tonight, there with him
It felt so good to feel good again
He took my hand and I didn't mind
And I didn't try to stop him when he kissed me goodnight
That's when I knew
I was over

Crying in my pillow
Praying that you'd come home
Waiting for the phone to ring
Wondering where it went wrong
Wishing I could move on
Thought I'd never feel this way
I thought I'd never see this day

Oh, but then tonight, I met someone
We went out and we had fun
He made me laugh and we danced all night
And I didn't see your face cause I was looking in his eyes
That's when I knew
I was over you
I was over you

"The Bridge You Burn"

"The Bridge You Burn"



Better hang on to that matchbook with his number on it
But not for the reason you think
There'll come a day girl that you're gonna want it
To light the past up in flames
He's the lesson you learn
He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn
He's that one last look back when you finally get over the hurt
He's the bridge you burn
He's the bridge you burn
No you're not the first one to think they can change him
Well that line of fools is so long
But you'll be the only one you have to blame when
You wake up and he's gone
He's the lesson you learn
He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn
He's that one last look back when you finally get over the hurt
He's the bridge you burn, burn down
Then you turn around and say
Man that was a close one
He's the lesson you learn
He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn
He's the lesson you learn
He's that one last look back when you get over the hurt
He's the bridge you burn
He's the bridge you burn
Yeah he's the bridge you burn
He's the bridge you burn
Burn it down girl

"The Day She Got Divorced"

"The Day She Got Divorced"



She got up and put her makeup on
Made a pot of coffee extra strong
At the kitchen table sucking on a cigarette

Read the paper in a cloud of smoke
While the dirty dinner dishes soaked
Woke up the kids and coaxed them out of bed

Then she burnt the toast just like the day before
The day she got divorced
Story continues below

Left the kids with the girl next door
Parked her car at the county court
Round and round 'bout the child support he'll never pay

Judge said we're gonna have to start
Without the party of the second part
Cause the party of the second part was MIA

He was getting drunk just like the day before
The day she got divorced

Didn't feel any different than it ever had
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that sad
Couldn't love him any less or hate him anymore
The day she got divorced

Wasn't working, had the whole day off
Bought a bottle then she called her boss
Waited for him at the motel lot til he got there

First he told her that her hair looked nice
Promised he was gonna leave his wife
Had two more lines but she didn't care

Cause it was just like every other day before
The day she got divorced

Didn't feel any different than it ever had
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that sad
Couldn't love him any less or hate him anymore
The day she got divorced

Kids are yakking with their hungry mouths
Dog scratching laying on the couch
Think she really oughta clean this house, but what the hell

Cause it's just as dirty as the day before

Yeah, she's divorced

"The Fear Of Being Alone"

"The Fear Of Being Alone"



We ordered up one more bottle of wine
You told me your story I thought about mine
You said when you lost her you lost everything
It all started having a familiar ring

So I asked you to take me some place quiet
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
Somewhere around the break of day
I could hear it coming from a mile away

So don't say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone

Reckless hearts can clear a path
Wider than a hurricane's aftermath
We've both traveled down that road
Where in the name of love anything goes

So don't say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone

Like a child in the night
With no one to hold you
And tell you everything's gonna be all right

I must admit it's been fun
But that's no reason to jump the gun
If this is real time will tell
So let me bite my tongue and remind myself

So don't say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone

"The Girl Who Has Everything"

"The Girl Who Has Everything"



I just got the wedding invitation.
There's gonna be a celebration like you've never seen.
Just fit for a queen.
She's got her mom and daddy's blessing.
She's got a long white wedding dress and his wedding ring.

Oh what can I bring.
What do you give the girl who has everything.
She's got the man who used to hold me.
She's got the man who told me I was his everything.
She's got the man who used to love me, who placed no one above me.
How he made my heart sing.
Oh what can I bring.
What do you give the girl who has everything.

She'll hear his promise of forever.
She'll hear him say what I could never get him to say.
Oh he'll say it today.
She'll hold his hand and throw the flowers.
Drink champagne till the morning hours.
The queen has her king, and the world on a string.

So what do you give the girl who has everything.
She's got the man who used to hold me.
She's got the man who told me I was his everything.
She's got the man who used to love me, who placed no one above me.
How he made my heart sing.
Oh what can I bring.
Tell me what do you give the girl who has everything.
What do you give the girl who has everything.

"The Great Divide"

"The Great Divide"



Well I could swear
This king size bed
Keeps getting wider
And I could swear
A stranger's laying by my side
And I can swear a long dark valley lies between us
And there ain't no way to cross the great divide

The great divide
Ain't in Colorado
It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart
The great divide
Oh that river's sorrow
We can't rebuild
The bridge we burned
Between our hearts

And Lord knows we both tried hard
At crossing rivers
But pride runs as deep
As it is wide
And the love that once could conquer any mountain
Has reached the edge of the great divide

The great divide
Ain't in Colorado
It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart
The great divide
Oh that river's sorrow
We can't rebuild
The bridge we burned
Between our hearts

The great divide
Ain't in Colorado

"The Greatest Man I Never Knew"

"The Greatest Man I Never Knew"



The greatest man I never knew
Lived just down the hall
And everyday we said hello
But never touched at all
He was in his paper
I was in my room
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon

The greatest man I never knew
Came home late every night
He never had too much to say
Too much was on his mind
I never really knew him
And now it seems so sad
Everything he gave to us took all he had

Then the days turned into years
And the memories to black and white
He grew cold like an old winter wind
Blowing across my life

The greatest words I never heard
I guess I'll never hear
The man I thought would never die
S'been dead almost a year
He was good at business
But there was business left to do
He never said he loved me
Guess he thought I knew

"The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter"

"The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter"



She came in lookin' good and lookin' around
She's checkin' out every man in the room right now
Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong
She's been alone way to long

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

She hears him say "Hey, can I buy you a drink?"
And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring
She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

From somewhere deep inside she tells him no
Before she starts to cry she turns to go

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

"The Heart Won't Lie"

"The Heart Won't Lie"



Looking back over the years
Of All the things I've always meant to say
But words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering

You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away

'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie

Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me?

You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away

'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie

"The Last One To Know"

"The Last One To Know"



I didn't see the fire burn to ashes
Couldn't feel the winds of change
I was lost inside the passion
Blinded by a memory of a flame

Guess I should of felt it when you touched me
Should of seen it in your eyes
I beleived you really loved me
Why can't i beleive you said goodbye

Why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
Why is the one left behind the one left alone
With no one to hold
The last one to know

Now it would be easier to face the morning
If you were holding me tonight
But you left me without a warning
Holding on to a heartache while she's holding you tight

Why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
Why is the one left behind the one left alone
With no one to hold
The last one to know
