richard cortez - if it weren't for me

if it weren't for me

i wrote a letter to you
then i erased it
guess there's nothing left to say
you know, i think about you every time i get wasted
and i hope you're you're okay
'cause i'm so in love
and you're fucked up
and with what's his name
and i took too much
and i can't stand up -
to you....
anyway...

what would i say to you
if we were talking
i'd say everything was fine
yeah, what would i say to you
now that it's over
and you're still on my mind

we would've been happy
it would've been sweet
we would've been happy
if it weren't for me

i found the bottom of the bottle
sometime around christmas
after i drank myself away
and i roamed the upper west side
and the city was restless
and i grinned at it's decay

from the blaring lights
to the endless nights
and the rainy days
making treasure out of trash
broke and down on my ass
trying to get laid

so, what would i say to you if i had the answers
because you always ask me "why?"
yeah, what would i say to you had i known your secrets
it would sound something like goodbye

we would've been happy
it would've been sweet
we would've been happy
if it weren't for me

i'm gonna clean up my act and get myself that apartment
i'm gonna paint the town red with guitar in hand
and to tell you the truth i don't miss disappointment
just 'cause i said this first
doesn't mean it was planned

we would've been happy
it would've been nice
so i guess this means i'm sorry
but i won't say it twice
and i won't say that i miss you
'cause it wouldn't be right
just know there's nothing to do
and it's a friday night...
