Lady Contenders - Had To Lyrics

Blue Ridge, blue sky, blue blood, blue life
This scenery ain't what it used to be
Found an ancient artifact on that sacred ground
Now it watches over us when I'm in town
Driving along the edge of the world, you and my cat are my favorite girls
The bright lights of this drunken arcade, I knew I would forever feel this way
Are you over making every boy fall in love?
It would be nice to talk before you get above me
Why do I put myself through this?
I'm convinced I had to
This cynics perspective, I've come to accept and respect it
Eyes rolling, sheets twisting, realized what I'm missing
You keep threatening to make me leave, then you lay down and hold me
I'm patient and waiting, I hate you but want to be closer
Just call me, say something, invite me
I'll be there in a few hours, or days, or weeks, or months, no no that's enough
Nothing's changed and nothing's new
Why do I put myself through this?
I'm convinced I had to
I've convinced myself I had to
I had to, I had to, I had to, I had to
I keep telling myself I had to
Yeah I've convinced myself that there is no one else
I had to, I had to, I had to, I had to
If we all calm down, we could sort this out
I've convinced myself that there was no other way
