The Worry List (Live)

I'm tied up, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark
I'm a coulda-been
Don't be concerned, it's just the power of a breaking heart
Ooh, how good am I hiding it?
I've got some bad intentions, guilty as fuckin' charged
Still standing stable, more than able 'cause I know who you are
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I miss
I regret them all, but now I know this

I know that God exists, I held her in my arms
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong

Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
I'm doing fine and, ma, there's nothing we haven't talked about
Take me off your worry list, throw it away
She is what my life is about
I might've been gone, but I never walked out
Out, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I've taken a thousand red-eyes to change your point of view
What kind of man would take the trust
You break and still follow through?
He's standing right there, you may not show up
It's the same game, fourteen where honestly
I'm just sick of calling your bluff
It's just embarrassing, I nearly threw up
While I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up
And at the top of my list, this visitation is shit
But I gotta make the best of it, 'cause I know

I know that God exists, I held her in my arms
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong

Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
I'm doing fine, look, I've got plenty of friends around
Take me off your worry list, just throw it away
Well, it's time to stand up on my own, oh-oh
I'm packing it up, and I'm coming

I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up
Everything was quiet and covered in snow
There's something wrong here
Why is there nobody at home?
I'm back in the driver's seat, and I'm heading back home
Yeah, back to Texas, be on my own

Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
I'm doing fine, look, I've got plenty of friends around
Take me off your worry list, just throw it away
Well, it's time to stand up on my own, oh-oh
I'm packing it up, I'm coming today

She is what my story's about
I might have been gone, I never walked out
I'm packing it up, but I'm coming
'Cause this is what your story's about
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?
It helps to know, so there is no doubt
Listen to the stories, not everything is glorious
Some hurt, some love, some shout
I fought the world, but I lost that bout
But you're what my life is about
I might have been gone, but daddy never, ever walked out
I love you
I love you so much
