She saved five-hundred dollars
in an old whisky bottle
Seeking salvation
in my desperation
She took a bus down south
I picked her up downtown
found our own place, it felt right at home
End up living in a hotel
sleeping in my car
smoking up cigarettes
and drinking dry the bars
Maybe we can help this
move right along
Maybe we are helpless
maybe I was wrong
maybe I was wrong
I had to send her back up
to where she was from
I promise there was nothing
that I could've done
I told her she should come back
when she had it made
She's still in her hometown
she saves a dollar a day
Maybe we can help this
move right along
Maybe we are helpless
to what's been going on
Maybe we can help this
move right along
Maybe we are helpless
maybe I was wrong
maybe I was wrong
She saved five-hundred dollars
in an old whisky bottle

She was everything I'd ever want, ever need, oh no
Now I'm stuck here with a memory, a memory of a ghost
I will be loved
You will be loved
We will be loved
All the bad things that I did before, are coming back, oh no
Seems like Karma's reared it's ugly head, I should've left it alone
Same old story as yesterday, but I won't let you walk away, no
I will be loved
Never thought about contigencies, or backup plans, oh no
For all I know it should of never been, there all just sins on my soul
Same old story as yesterday, but I won't let you walk away, no
I will be loved
You will be loved
We will be loved
Same old story as yesterday, but I won't let you walk away, no
I will be loved

While I'm sitting here alone all day
Same old thing I did yesterday
I been thinking 'bout what to say
Can't get you offa my
In the middle of the afternoon
In the middle of a crowded room
While I'm starin' at the big blue moon
Cant get you offa my mind
Oh, oh, runaway girl
Oh, oh, runaway girl
Even though the devil is on a roll
I know jesus gonna save my soul
Get me outta this great big hole
Cant get you offa my
Keep on swimmin' straight through this flood
I'm still goin' despite the blood
Sweat and tears are turning into mud
Can't get you offa my mind
Oh, oh, runaway girl
Oh, oh, runaway girl
Oh, oh, runaway girl
Oh, oh, runaway
Even though the devil is on a roll
I know jesus gonna save my soul
Get me outta this great big hole
Cant get you offa my
Keep on swimmin' straight through this flood
I'm still goin' despite the blood
Sweat and tears are turning into mud
Can't get you offa my mind
Oh, oh, runaway girl
Oh, oh, runaway girl
Oh, oh, runaway girl
Oh, oh, runaway

Turning the dial and all the while, every inch turns to miles
My thoughts are so loud I can't drown them out, it's leaving me lost and beguiled
No remedy for this, there is no magic pill
Questions that plague my mind, they are unanswered still, like
Why are we doing this all again?
Have I gone crazy or am I insane?
What is the reason things haven't changed?
I can't explain why it's all the same
And all the while
I have been waiting for you right here
And I need to smile
I can't keep waiting for year after year
I'm letting you know
Actions they speak louder than words, I'll put this phrase on repeat
I'll get what I need only if I, finally admit defeat
Don't need no promises, to placate my loneliness
Took all your pictures down, I don't need reminders of
All that we could have, all that we were
All of the songs that remind me of her
What is the reason, this stayed alive
I'm stuck in neutral, it's time to drive
So I say goodbye, and then you tell me you want me so bad
When I turn out the lights, that's when the dark makes you want
what you had
I'm letting you go
Letting you go
Letting you go, oh
letting you go
I'm grateful for all this
Good and the bad
Best and the worst times I've ever had
If it never happened
I'd never know
How much I could take or
Just how far I'd go
So I say goodbye
And then you tell me you want me so bad
When I turn out the lights
That's when the dark makes you want what you had
And all the while
I had been waiting for you right here
And I need to smile
I can't keep waiting for year after year

CJ Orazi Orlando, Florida
Guitar chops honed in the big knife fight known as rock & roll and lyrics earnest enough to make Danny Trejo shed a tear, CJ
brings a fresh take on the singer/songwriter genre. His songs expose a rawness that no amount of tattoos and cigarette smoke can cover up.
Bluesy, rock & roll, and a bit old-school country, Orazi evokes emotional response through music that T Swift only dreams about.
