lyrics

it’s hard to think about springtime when your head’s in October
you gave me a mountain to climb, it’s a bitch to get over
I got high on your sweet sweet wine, but the taste has gone bitter
I’ll get sober in the by and by, but don’t ya call me a quitter


you threw the game on a sacrifice fly,
when my bases were loaded
all the same, you walked without shame
when my world exploded
I took a shot, I got what I got
but I went down swingin’
ready or not, I thought that you left me
but you left me with a new beginning


there’s a cloud hanging over, and we can’t get past it
you made your confession, it was good while it lasted
time to switch, I made my best pitch, but you were not buying
cuz you got heartaches, down to a science, and there ain't no denying

ch
you threw the game on a sacrifice fly,
when my bases were loaded
all the same, you walked without shame
when my world exploded
I took a shot, I got what I got
but I went down swingin’
ready or not, I thought that you left me
but you left me with a new beginning

oh, that's right!

solo

I ain't worried ‘bout breathing.
I’m just stayin alive
I left the gloom, cooped up in my room,
Now, look me in the eye!

you threw the game on a sacrifice fly
when my bases were loaded
all the same, you walked without shame
when my world exploded
I took my best shot, I got what I got
at least I went down swingin’
ready or not, I thought you left me but you ….

you threw “us” under the bus, and left the wheels spinin’
what a shame, you talk a good game
when you feel like winning
you take the crown, you’re the queen of “let down”
but I came up grinning
ready or not, I thought that you left me
but you left me with a new beginning
you left me with a new beginning
you left me with a new beginning
but you left me… bye-bye…
