The Real Folk Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Too late to let you know, what you mean to me
If I cried I'd only make you believe I was happy
I've got to let you go and my heart, it aches
But it's worth it, 'cause I swear to God, you're a mistake
Know there could be a day, when the pain will fade
But a part of me is lookin' for you, back on yesterday
I've got to get away, 'cause my heart, it burns
And I know if I keep stickin' around, I won't ever learn
Don't wanna cry
'Cause, baby, I
Can feel freedom when they play
The real folk blues
I need the pain
My unhappiness is proof I'm not insane
'Cause when I'm close to you
I swear, I could die
Need to live my life, yeah, live like I'm alive
And it's a lonely road
Good luck and goodbye
