SMITTY’S ANTHEM (NO TEARS) by Tom Jensen
I’ve got no tears left to cry
It just feels dead inside
And no, I’m not gonna lie
I love to hate you more
Than I ever loved to love you
And it may be
Yeah, that this one’s on me
But as you see by my misery
It’s all I can do
To not scream through the roof
There’s a red flag at half mast
You whistle as you walk past
Yes, the graveyard is full of souls
Whose decaying remains fill all those holes
While the blind man with the thirsty ears
Longs for love during his final years
And the middle-aged man with a broken past
Clings to lies remembering them as facts
And the bullet proof youth takes advice from none
Learns the hard way that’s when the troubles come…
As he looks around not sure what to do
He blames me and I blame you…
Yeah, I was driving
Fucking flying!
Running away as fast as I can
She was lying
Then starts crying
I tell her, “Go find another man!”
Lonely…
Not me…
I’m already making other plans
You try to hold on
But baby I’m gone
Now you know I’m still in demand
This is a new song
I hear you humming along
Got you thinking about clapping your hands…
Since you’ve grown tired
Of living uninspired
Finally my friend you understand…
I’ve got no tears left to cry
It just feels dead inside
And no, I’m not gonna lie
I love to hate you more
Than I ever loved to love you
And it may be
Yeah, that this one’s on me
But as you see by my misery
It’s all I can do
To not scream through the roof
There’s a red flag at half mast
You whistle as you walk past
Yes, the graveyard is full of souls
Whose decaying remains fill all those holes
While the blind man with the thirsty ears
Longs for love during his final years
And the middle-aged man with a broken past
Clings to lies remembering them as facts
And the bullet proof youth takes advice from none
Learns the hard way that’s when the troubles come…
As he looks around not sure what to do
He blames me and I blame you…
