Sitting on the porch
On the old wooden swing
Where we spent alot of evenings together
One night you brought the subject up
You said you was leaving
But I never really figured you would
Till one day I came home
Found the closet empty
And a note on the dresser
That said my love just wasn't enough
And theres something missing
You took about everything I had
I went to the fridge
Figured Id get to drinking you away for tonight
I guess you knew it was what Id turn to
Cause I found another note sticking on the door
Said that you needed to find yourself
There was a place inside that wasn't filled
I knew something had to be changed
So she'd come on back
I knew she didn't like me drinking
So thats the first thing I did
I poured every bottle of whiskey out
It had always been there for me
But I'm putting it down tonight
I shaved that old beard off
The one she got after me to get rid of
Got my hair all trimmed up
But not the outside was all that mattered
I knew I had to be a better lover
So the next day I sent her flowers
Just to show her how much I really care
I swallowed my pride
Didn't care what my buddies thought
She was the best damn thing to happen to me
And I wasn't about to let her go
A few days went by
I was showing up for work on time
Making myself a person worthwhile
Called her this evening
Asked her to forgive me
And asked her for a second time
I about lost her to my foolishness
Its all changed now
She'll never have to tell me twice
That she ever needs to find herself
When it was me all along
