Willie Nelson

I'm moving on
I'll still think about you
When I hear Willie Nelson sing of embers in the rain
And I was wrong
But what good are convictions when you're
Grasping at the fire
Pretending you don't feel the pain?
It's such a shame, shame

I've got a cup
I fill it up with whiskey
In the hopes of drowning out your memory
And oh it works
Especially in the mornings when the bright lights
And the headaches and your face are all I see
I tell my friends
They oughta set me up
And when I stumble into church I lie
Pretend I'm finding peace
I got a line
I practice it in private
So when people ask about me
I'll somehow make them believe

I'm moving on
But I'll still think about you
When I hear Willie Nelson sing of embers in the rain
And I was wrong
What good are convictions when you're
Grasping at the fire
Pretending you don't feel the pain?
It's such a shame, shame
Shame, shame

I take it slow
Cause sympathy's a virtue that
I ain't got the energy to fake
I know in time
I'll feel awful stupid for this
Helpless psyche I can't seem to break
I tell my friends
They should just be patient
Let me get over my grief
I know my heart'll heal this ache
I've heard your line
And I know that it's bullshit
But I'm happy that you're tryin'
Because Lord knows I can relate

I'm moving on
I'll still think about you
When I hear Willie Nelson sing of embers in the rain
And I was wrong
What good are convictions when you're
Grasping at the fire
Pretending you don't feel the pain?
It's such a shame, shame
Shame, shame

I'll hit rock bottom soon enough
Then come back better than before
And when I'm finally tired of being tough
The next love will be so much more

But for now
I'm moving on
I'll still think about you
When I hear Willie Nelson sing of embers in the rain
And I was wrong
But what good are convictions when you're
Grasping at the fire
Pretending you don't feel the pain?
It's such a shame, shame
Shame, shame
Oh, it's a shame
