so this is how it ends
there is no “we’ll still be friends”, we never were
just two tumbleweeds
violently picking up speed
pushed by desire
constantly tangling in pride
but you never say goodbye
your silence leaves me preaching to the choir
and you were made of words
i was made of things filed away, lessons learned
you were made of a heart
i was made of locks and a big ole box of keys
you were made of fire
i’m all paper and pens and things you tie with a string
and you never say goodbye
your silence leaves me preaching to the choir
and you were right i don’t need you
why do you need me to
and i loved myself well
yes i’ve been through hell but i loved myself well
i could’ve taught you to
but maybe you need the same kind of broken as you
you never say goodbye
your silence leaves me preaching to the choir
why don’t you ever say goodbye
your silence leaves me preaching to the choir

Just pure Levi and guitar. Full band is great but there is just something about his voice. When his songs are distilled down to just him and the guitar, you can really feel all he puts into them. Chris Maggart
