You’re To Thank

W. Spagnardi © 2007

Late at night I wipe away the tears And I chase the ghosts of 10 long years My mind gets lost the more and more I think And my heart feels the hurt the more I drink When you left, your cruel words made me sob You said I held a bottle better than a job Well they stung worse than the whiskey that I drank My heart’s gone to pieces and you’re to thank You’re to thank, you’re to thank, for the pain in my heart Had I known it’d be this hard, I would have walked out from the start Your love is like a ship, when I climbed aboard you sank My heart’s gone to pieces and you’re to thank I can’t bear the thought of one more day Now that my baby’s left and gone away I gave you everything a girl could need Even gave you the shoes that walked out on me Sometimes, I think what could have been If I’d stayed an upright standing man Well, your love went dry, as dry as my gas tank My heart’s gone to pieces and you’re to thank Chorus 2x My heart’s gone to pieces, baby, you’re to thank
