[Verse 1]

My world turned blue

When I lost you

You said that I should just get over it

[Verse 2]

Now here you are

Falling apart

You know it's too late for apologies

[Chorus]

But you're sorry now

You say you're the one who paid the price

You should take your own advice and stop your crying

[Verse 3]

You look so sad

I understand

I walked the road you have ahead of you

[Chorus]

So you're sorry now

You say you will make it up to me

You want me to believe, but you know you're lying

[Bridge]

Once you finally face the truth you'll see

That what you really wanted wasn't me

You need to wake up from that dream

[Verse 4]

We can't go back

To what we had

It's all now just a fading memory

[Chorus]

So you're sorry now

You say you would offer any price

You’d make any sacrifice, you should just stop trying

[Verse 1]

I like movies where the good guys win

I like pants that I can still fit in

I got friends that love me even though

Mistakes I've made I know I should have known

Don't need cable, don't need HBO

I can kill my time all on my own

Got a world I've built inside my head

I got dreams I haven't played out yet

[Chorus]

I got everything I need

The simple things for free

I got everything

I ain't rich and I ain't poor

I ain't worried anymore

Of what I got

I've got a lot

That they don't sell in a store

[Verse 2]

Got the moon that shines up in the sky

Still got the twinkle in my eye

I'm grateful for my family

Don't deserve them, they don't deserve me

Got all my fingers, all my toes

I'm still rooting for the underdog

Everybody looking at their phone

I hope they find what they are looking for

[Chorus]

But I got everything I need

The simple things for free

I got everything

I ain't rich and I ain't poor

I ain't worried anymore

Of what I got

I've got a lot

That they don't sell in a store

[Chorus]

I got everything I need

The simple things for free

I got everything I need

The simple things for free

I got everything I need

The simple things for free

I got everything I need

The simple things for free

All the screaming headlines they just won't leave me alone

They seem to have to follow almost everywhere I go

I can hear their constant echo I can't stop looking at my phone

There's nothing I can do I just want to watch a different show

So bring on the dancing girls

I can't save the whole damn world

When I look around me, everything is looking fine

But the stories that I read are always dismal all the time

I try not to pay attention

I try to act like I don't mind

And somehow they will find me, doesn't matter where I hide

So bring on the dancing girls

I can't save the whole damn world

If I were God, I’d start again

I'd make the snake take back what he said

No fig leaf shame, no fall of man

I'd leave the jews, where they began

No hungry hearts, No need for more

No headlines crying out for war

No pundit spin, No New York Times

No talking heads, No Fox News Lies

All the screaming headlines they just won't leave me alone

They seem to have to follow almost everywhere I go

Everybody has the answers And they think I need to know

And I wish that I could help them but I can barely help myself

So bring on the dancing girls

I can't save the whole damn world

All the screaming headlines they just won't leave me alone

They seem to have to follow almost everywhere I go

I can hear their constant echo I can't stop looking at my phone

There's nothing I can do I just want to watch a different show

So bring on the dancing girls

I can't save the whole damn world

When I look around me, everything is looking fine

But the stories that I read are always dismal all the time

I try not to pay attention

I try to act like I don't mind

And somehow they will find me, doesn't matter where I hide

So bring on the dancing girls

I can't save the whole damn world

If I were God, I’d start again

I'd make the snake take back what he said

No fig leaf shame, no fall of man

I'd leave the jews, where they began

No hungry hearts, No need for more

No headlines crying out for war

No pundit spin, No New York Times

No talking heads, No Fox News Lies

All the screaming headlines they just won't leave me alone

They seem to have to follow almost everywhere I go

Everybody has the answers And they think I need to know

And I wish that I could help them but I can barely help myself

So bring on the dancing girls

I can't save the whole damn world

I don't care what Tucker said last night

I won't take the bait, no I won't bite

I know you want me to

You've got something to prove

And until you do you won't be satisfied

Funny how you always think you're right

Even if you're choking on your lies

You still won't let it go

You still need me to know

I think you think I might give in this time

Why don't you

Why don't you

Ever just leave me alone

You aren't so

You aren't so

Clever, what do you even know?

I'm not quite sure what you get out of this

Why am I the one you must convince

I try to be polite

But can't you see me roll my eyes?

I wish that you just once would take the hint

Why won't you

Why won't you

Ever just leave me alone

Why don't you

Why don't you

Ever just turn around and go

Tell me that I'm wrong or pick a fight

I won't take the bait, no I won't bite

The words that hurt the most

Are the ones you didn't say

As I looked into your tear filled eyes

While you were trying to explain

You danced around the truth

chose each word so carefully

I saw you trying not to hurt me

And you thought you'd found a way

But, the words that hurt the most

Are the ones you didn't say

You didn't tell me what you felt

When you looked into his eyes

You didn't say what you were thinking of

When your skin touched his at night

You tried to protect me from the truth

With all the words you chose that day

But, the words that hurt the most

Are the ones you didn't say

You said he didn't mean a thing to you

It was one too many drinks

One stupid weak and lonely night

Just a big mistake

You said there was no need for worry

That we should just turn the page

But, the words that hurt the most

Are the ones you didn't say

You didn't tell me if it crossed your mind

While you were lying in his bed

The life we've lived together and

The dreams I thought we shared

I'm trying to forgive you

I know I need to find a way

But, the words that hurt the most

Are the ones you didn't say

The words that hurt the most

Are the ones you didn't say

[Verse]

Dinner for two, but I'm sitting alone

Waiting for you, I stare at my phone

This was your last, last chance

Don't give me that old song and dance

I should have been done a long time ago

[Chorus]

But you keep walking in… through the out door

I’m telling you now, just like I told you before

Stop walking in… through the out door

Can't you read the signs — my heart can’t take no more

[Verse]

I must be a fool to let you back in

The same old mistake, again and again

I tell you we're through then you smile

You say all the right things for a while

You make me forget all bad things you did

[Chorus]

And you keep walking in… through the out door

I'll tell you again, just like I told you before

Stop walking in… through the out door

Can't you read the signs — I just can’t take no more

[bridge]

You lie and explain

But I cry everyday

[Chorus]

So stop walking in… through the out door

Don't try and pretend you've never heard it before

Stop walking in… through the out door

There's a big stop sign with your name on it

[Outro]

Stop walking in… through the out door

I'll tell you again, just like I told you before

Stop walking in… through the out door

Can't you read the sign — my heart can’t take it

My heart can't take it

My heart can't take it no more

[Tag]

Stop walking in… through the out door

"Tell Me It Will Be Ok" is a quiet plea for comfort in a world that feels overwhelming and uncertain. It doesn’t ask for answers — just for someone to say the words that might make the weight a little easier to carry.

[Verse]

I been feeling down

'Cause when I look around

No blue sky only grey

Can't make this feeling go away

So what I need you to say

[Chorus]

Tell me it will be ok

That's what I need you to say

Tell me it will all be fine

I should get that worry off my mind

Tell me there is nothing I should fear

Can you whisper softly in my ear

Tell me that it's looking good

Say a prayer and knock on wood

[Verse]

I hear the news

All doom and gloom

But there's nothing I can do

You can lie or tell the truth

But what I really need from you

[Chorus]

Tell me it will be ok

That's what I need you to say

Tell me it will all be fine

I should get that worry off my mind

Tell me there is nothing I should fear

Can you make it crystal clear

Tell me that it's looking good

Say a prayer and knock on wood

[Bridge]

I know it doesn't change a thing

No magic words, no bells will ring

But say it soft, and say it slow

[Chorus]

Tell me it will be ok

That's what I need you to say

Tell me it will be alright

Tell me that we've won the fight

We're headed into brighter days

That's all I need you to say

Tell me that it's looking good

Say a prayer and knock on wood

[Verse]

I raise my glass, you wipe your eyes

We try to hide the hurt inside

Despite all our flimsy alibis

We can't avoid this long goodbye

An awkward toast to better days

We try to smile then look away

Think about the price we've paid

For all of the mistakes we made

[Chorus]

Misery loves company

And tonight, it sure loves me

Save all our apologies

'Cause misery loves company

[Verse]

The jukebox plays some lonesome tunes

Some Patsy Cline some Emmylou

They’re singing what we're goin' through

Wrapped in 3 chords and the truth

Sometimes only a simple song

Can make you feel like you belong

To say the things you want to say

And make the sorrow somehow feel ok

[Chorus]

Misery loves company

A double shot of honesty

No need to talk, but we agree

Misery loves company

[Chorus]

Misery loves company

Don't interrupt this sorry scene

Until it finally sets you free

Misery loves company

🩹🎸 Playing through the pain — literally.

Wrote this one about loving someone through their silence, their patterns, their past… and learning when to let go, with love still in your hands.

Performed it tonight with a broken left hand in a cast. This is the best of my one finger guitar playing!

I know the reasons why you're broken

I know the secrets you hide deep

All of the words you've left unspoken

I know you're broken just like me

You know I've loved you since I met you

I had a feeling I can't explain

Something told me to protect you

I could see how hard you hid the pain

[Chorus]

Nobody knows you like I do

Nobody loves you like I do

Nobody owes you like I do

Under the cold blue light of envy

Cast by the full and jealous moon

You try to guard your pride so gently

You calculate just what you need to prove

How you keep a broken promise

How you wage a borrowed fight

How you struggle to be honest

In the shadows, out of sight

[Chorus]

Nobody knows you like I do

Nobody loves you like I do

Nobody owes you like I do

Now you tell me that you're leaving

Now you tell me that it's time

I won't say I'm disagreeing

And I won't pretend I don't know why

[Chorus]

Nobody knows you like I do

Nobody loves you like I do

Nobody owes you like I do

[Verse]

I know the reasons why you're broken

I know the secrets you hide deep
