Sometimes I write songs but can't put a tune to them and call them poems

I can imagine me and you laying in the bed
We're being silly & crazy & you amaze me.
Next thing I know I'm fed, up
with all the lies and how we try to disguise
the pain that we both feel.
My God, I can't believe it's real.

These country songs have me all tied up
Without God by now I'd probably lite up
Something stronger than the pain for a moment
But I know that I can't let
These visions in my head lead me
To the place where we used to be.

Why don't you smile when you come home,
I try so hard and just don't know
How can I be better for you
Don't say that D word, it can't be true
Don't leave me

These country songs have me all tied up
Without God by now I'd probably lite up
Something stronger than the pain for a moment
But I know that I can't let
These visions in my head lead me
To the place where we used to be

It takes two to talk
and it takes just one to walk
away from everything we built up to
and now we both hold the guilt of
taking turns talking and walking
Why won't you just let me in

Instead
These country songs have me all tied up
Without God by now I'd probably lite up
Something stronger than the pain for a moment
But I know that I can't let
These visions in my head lead me
To the place where we used to be
