Karaoke

Things have been so crazy and hectic

I shoulda gotten back by now

But you know how much I wanted to make it

It's probably better anyhow

So if you gotta go

If there's anything I should know

If the spotlight makes you nervous

If you're looking for a purpose

You put the tea in the kettle and light it

Put your hand on the metal and feel it

But do you even feel it anymore?

I remember when you thought I was joking

Now I'm off singing karaoke

Further than I've ever been

So if you gotta go

If there's any way I can help

Isn't it ironic that the girl I want to marry is a wedding planner

And tells me my life is too much and then moves to Atlanta

Damn, of all the places you could go

I just thought you'd choose somewhere

That had somebody that you know

I'm always up too late, I worry 'bout you there alone

In that place you call your home

Warm nights and cold Patron

I hope that you don't get known for nothing crazy

Cause no man ever wants to hear those stories bout his lady

I know they say the first love is the sweetest

But that first cut is the deepest

I tried to keep us together, you were busy keeping secrets

Secrets you were telling everybody but me

Don't be fooled by the money, I'm still just young and unlucky

I'm surprised you couldn't tell

I was only trying to get ahead

I was only trying to get ahead

But the spotlight makes you nervous

And you're looking for a purpose
