Halfway Home - Jess Moskaluke

Blame it on me, I'm an actor, I'm a fake Blame it on me, I broke your heart, but by mistake Call it what you wanna, good intentions or denial But if I'm bein' honest, I've been lyin' for a while Halfway right doesn't make it right Halfway wrong is still wrong Half of me is with you here tonight And half of me is long gone You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't But halfway to Heaven isn't Hell And halfway home just ain't home And I put it off, I was selfish, I was scared I put it off and I know it isn't fair No one wants to stay, but no one wants to say goodbye Let's call it what it is and we'll get out of this alive Halfway right doesn't make it right Halfway wrong is still wrong Half of me is with you here tonight And half of me is long gone You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't But halfway to Heaven isn't Hell And halfway home just ain't home Home And I'm sorry, if I hang on to you, I'll drown I'm so sorry, if I don't let go, I'm goin' down Halfway right doesn't make it right Halfway wrong is still wrong Half of me didn't see it comin' Half of me knew it all along You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't But halfway to Heaven isn't Hell And halfway home just ain't home Home It ain't home Home

Oh the stairs I scale To my one storey jail Will be nothing For there's an arm on which I'll lean And the arm will repay Every debt that was in its name Oh, on the day that the boys come home Those that don't feel the sun Beating down on their body numb Will know the heat on the day that they are cooking Those whose lights run strong With no hint of interruption Will know the dark when the boys come home As for those who look like us Managing our will into the dust Who withdraw when the lights have been turned on On their pitch-black nights There'll be a flame flickering alight As they're made to cross all of the bridges they're burning How I wonder what they'll say What they'll feel and to whom they'll pray Oh, on the day that the boys come home Move this pile of clothes Let me rest my bones For there'll be one less day Till the day I'm promised As I lower my eyes Counting down all of the lies Yes, one less day till I can see grown men made honest And the only fear I have Is that my rage fade before I can See that day that the boys come home

You used to hold my soul Oh, you held my soul You used to have control Oh, you loved me so We used to roam around You used to kiss my mouth Now you never come around Oh, you never come around 'Cause I can't change Anything about me But I won't blame Anything on you 'Cause we were halfway to Houston and I didn't care Still smell your lips, I still taste your hair And I did not love you, and I'm well aware Maybe I used you but I was almost there You were gonna sink yourself Baby, it's not that deep I was gonna pull you out But you tried to leave You said, "Oh, go ahead now" I remember, I can't forget What you told me, what you said I can't help you 'til you help yourself 'Cause I can't change Anything about me But I won't blame Anything on you We were halfway to Houston and I didn't care Still smell your lips, I still taste your hair And I did not love you, and I'm well aware Maybe I used you but I was almost there I'm almost there

Ever wonder about what he's doing How it all turned to lies Sometimes I think that it's better to never ask why Where there is desire There is gonna be a flame Where there is a flame Someone's bound to get burned But just because it burns Doesn't mean you're gonna die You've gotta get up and try try try Gotta get up and try try try You gotta get up and try try try Eh, eh, eh Funny how the heart can be deceiving More than just a couple times Why do we fall in love so easy Even when it's not right Where there is desire There is gonna be a flame Where there is a flame Someone's bound to get burned But just because it burns Doesn't mean you're gonna die You've gotta get up and try try try Gotta get up and try try try You gotta get up and try try try Ever worried that it might be ruined And does it make you wanna cry? When you're out there doing what you're doing Are you just getting by? Tell me are you just getting by by by Where there is desire There is gonna be a flame Where there is a flame Someone's bound to get burned But just because it burns Doesn't mean you're gonna die You've gotta get up and try try try Gotta get up and try try try You gotta get up and try try try Gotta get up and try try try Gotta get up and try try try You gotta get up and try try try Gotta get up and try try try You gotta get up and try try try Gotta get up and try try try

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting tingle-ing, too, Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go, Let's look at the show. We're riding in a wonderland of snow. Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, it's grand Just holding your hand. We're riding along with a song of a wintery fairy land. Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we, We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be. Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray It'll be the perfect ending to a perfect day We'll be singing the songs we love to sing Without a single stop At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop Pop pop pop There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie It'll even be like a picture print by Currier and Ives These wonderful things are the things We remember all through our lives Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting tingle-ing, too, Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

Late night phone rings I can hear the whiskey in your talk Say you want a little company Oh but I know what you really want And I can get there quick enough I've already got one foot out the door We both know this ain't love But that ain't ever stopped this thing before Hey I could get used used used I'm used to being used by you you you The pain's so good That I don't ever wanna lose it And I don't mind you dragging this heart around My head is so high I never wanna come down Hey I could get used used used to being used by you Melt into the candlelight And drown in a bottle of wine So lost in your eyes That I lose track of time And I know when the morning comes And I'm on my way back home I still have a good buzz That should last me til the next time you call I could get used used used to being used by you you you The pain's so good That I don't ever wanna lose it And I don't mind you dragging this heart around My head is so high I never wanna come down oh Hey I could get used used used to being used by you I could get used used used to being used by you you you The pain's so good That I don't ever wanna lose it I could get used used used to being used by you you you The pain's so good That I don't ever wanna lose it My head is so high I never wanna come down oh Hey I could get used used used to being used by you
