Shipwrecked (I Lied)

Lyrics & Music by Ronny Criss        Copyright 2006

Shipwrecked in Naugatuck, a little scared and a little stuck

All alone in your private hell

You found a job that’s got good pay

You packed your bags and moved away

Left behind a man who knew you well

Now the only love you make is across the lines and the interstate

And that ain’t the way that this story

Aw’t to end for you and me

And I know the last time you talked to me

I said I was fine

But I lied when I told you that I’m all right

Yeah I feel like I’m out to sea on a raft of misery

One tidal wave and I’m done

I pry to God constantly to bring you here to save me

But the silence drains me like the sun

‘cause the only love we make is in the dream that keeps me awake

And that ain’t the way that this story

Aw’t to end for you and me

And I know the last time you talked to me

I said I was fine

But I lied when I told you that I’m alright

And no amount of phone calls and post cards and letters sent

Can compare to you here with me and the feeling I get

And that ain’t the way that this story

Aw’t to end for you and me

And I know the last time you talked to me
