    POUR IT REAL SLOW

    Pour

    Pour it real slow

    I'll have one more merlot

    so many places

    I've been with smiling plastic faces

    I have no where to go

    Isn't it funny

    that I've got the world in my hands

    can call any woman in my phone

    and she'll cancel her plans

    but

    a pocketful of women

    feels like I've had one too many drinks

    waking up with a headache

    refusing to think

    about truth and consequences

    and the fences

    lover's refuse to tend

    thinking you're keeping the wolf out

    but you're letting him in

     

    Why does the band play so damn sad

    they play like love is a temporary condition

    just a passing fad

    but maybe in truth

    feelings of unconditional love

    are wasted on the youth

    by the time you find the perfect one

    logistics

    and feeling tired of being a statistic

    forces you to shun

    a walk in the sun

    saying to your conscience

    she might be special

    but I'm damn sure not the one

    to be a fool

    the means don't justify the ends

    to fall head over heals

    back in love again

     

    Well my friend

    I guess love is like a sad song

    that never found a reason to end

    it just keeps playing on until

    you've had your fill

    of space and time

    while love plays a trick on fools

    with unsuspecting minds

    until they are left with no one of a kind

    or chocolate hearts on Valentine's day

    just a lonely heart that refuses to say

    three little words

     

    I know it's absurd

    wasting time with someone

    and lacking the nerve

    to say I deserve

    more out of life than a frosty bed

    foolishly thinking warmed over feelings can rekindle

    passion for a long time dead

    it feels like a drink that goes straight to your head

    when you've had nothing to eat

    ain't nothing hardly neat

    about falling out of love

    when you're still knee deep

    in responsibilities

    just a deep freeze

    that leaves you shivering

    right down to your soul

     

    Pour it real slow

    while I contemplate my temporary embrago

    on love and happiness

    my secret lover really digs me

    but this is for the best

    keeping my distance

    and putting up resistance

    until she grows fatigued

    love should be a want

    and I'm tired of filling a need

    as a matter of fact

    I've had my fill

    so here's to cheap thrills

    and my heart that paid the bill

    a long time ago

    and now refuses to pay

    the pirce of falling in love

    on Saint Valentine's Day

     

    I'll be getting on with my day

    yeah

    she keeps calling

    but I have nothing to say

    seems like too many times

    my words get in the way

    still

    I can't deny she seems different from the rest

    but I've had my fill of tests

    been a long time since I was in school

    and true love is kinda cruel

    because a fool

    in love is a tool

    to be used

    and a heart that can't refuse

    inevitably ends up being bruised

    and misused

    so, with all due respect

    I choose

    to be alone

    ignoring my damn phone

    and trying hard to resist

    what's that old saying

    ignorance is bliss

    because a lover can't miss

    a kiss

    never made

    so I guess this is the perfect time

    to finish my drink and let this

    piece just

    fade......
