Probably Wouldn'T Be This Way

Got a house full of memories that I don't want
Got a heart full of pain that just won't heal
A town full of people that just don't care
Sometimes I think that all this isn't real

It probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't cry so much
If you would have givin me warning
That you were going
And leaving me wanting your touch

Sometimes I hear you calling me
Sometimes I think I'm losing touch
Sometimes I think that I'm so stupid
To be sitting here wanting you this much

Momma says that I just shouldn't think of you
Sister says that I just have to leave
She doesn't think that it is very good for me
To think of all the things that just can't be

It probably wouldn't be this way
I never really thought you'd die
But I should have known better
With your driving in that weather
I should have told you goodbye

Sometimes I think it's all my fault
If I hadn't made you mad at me
Then everything would be just fine
I'd still have you hear with me

God help me to keep my faith
I don't know how much more I can take
It probably wouldn't be this way
