"One for the Hard Times" (Original Song) by Josh McElhannon

Here I sit,all alone.
It never feels the same,when you're gone.
Making believe sets me free,
But this pain,just won't leave.

(chorus)
I take one for the hard times.
One to let go.
Three for the times,when I lost control...
One more for the days,still to come.

(V2)
My eyes had never seen so clear,
And somehow you took it all away.
Feeling so bitter and hollow,
But there's a part of me...
You can never change.

(re-peat chorus)

(Bridge)
I never meant to make you cry.
I never meant to say goodbye.
Those lonesome days,were the best of my life,
And it's true what they say.
You never realize...'Till it's gone.

(re-peat chorus)

(Outro)
Your memory just won't fade.
I still sit here all alone and so afraid.
At night when I lay my head,
Try to close my eyes,try to understand..
All those cold hearted things I said.

I've been following you for over 2 years and I have to say, I love your originals WAY better than any of the covers. The covers are all great but you really pour your soul and passion into the stuff you write. I'll always be a fan ! Chris in TN .
