Johnny Cash - Wage War

Let me tell you the saddest story

Love lost, left broken and empty

Put my heart in the hands of another

Set a fire to the past and watched me burn

Somehow I guess it’s better this way

Looking back, was it all just a mistake?

Thought I could live in the arms of another

But I guess I wasn’t enough for her

I wanna feel the love you can’t live without

The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about

But I gave it all away for no return

Guess it’s just another lesson that I’ll never learn

I’ve been putting myself through your Hell

Holding on to things that don’t even matter now

You found your place in the arms of another

But now I see it’s just the way the Earth will turn

I wanna feel the love you can’t live without

The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about

But I gave it all away for no return

Guess it’s just another lesson that I’ll never learn

Can’t seem to fill the void that lives in my chest

Thought I was what you need, but I’m just second best

I’ll never give it all away again I swear

Don’t even look for a heart, you’ll find there’s nothing there

(I can’t take it back)

All the years that we spent together have come to an end

(Regret is all I had)

Not sure I would if I could do it all over again

(I can’t take it back)

The memories, the pictures, I love you’s will wither

(Regret is all I had)

But this is the last song I’ll write about you

Forget my name

Forget my face

It was all just empty space

Deadweight;

no longer part of me
