Fred Oakman - Headstrong in on Empty Lyrics

I sat quiet because my thoughts never made no words
How I wish some things could be different
But I never gave much thought to anything I heard
God I gotta see it to believe it
You made me a monster by the end
Of the book you read
Funny how you swore you really knew me
I'm not lying when I say I'd rather be misread
Than thrown out to the dogs where you found me
Than thrown out to the dogs where you found me
We all sleep in houses that we built ourselves
If only I could stop and take a deep breath
Cuz maybe good things happen somewhere else
But I can only speak through experience
If I kept quiet
What good could it do me now
I need to find and tear away my conscience
I drank so Goddamn much
It turned my whole mouth sour
I only ever wanted you to listen
I only ever wanted you to listen
I'm not here to try to make a believer out of you
Even if it's all you ever wanted
I'm so worn down I could never see this damn thing through
All these lonely dreams they kept me haunted
I fall asleep on the couch
By eight pm
A sight to sore those pretty eyes
If things don't change
I'm a have to make a change again
God I get so sick and tired of changing
God I get so sick and tired of changing
You can drag that bottom of Lake Erie all you like
But I swear you'll never find me
In just one moment I can either hold or break that line
Always running headstrong in on empty
You made me a martyr
By the end of the life I led
It's funny how you swore you really loved me
And I'm not lying
When I say I'd rather be misread
Than thrown out to the dogs where you found me
Than thrown out to the dogs where you found me
Than thrown out to the dogs where you found me
I'm always running headstrong in on empty
