"5 Years" lyrics - KATHLEEN EDWARDS

KATHLEEN EDWARDS
"5 Years"

Well I stayed five years too long in this town
And you stayed five years too long 'cause you are proud
And you spent the best years of your life in a basement bar
Baby, I am leaving and I am taking your guitar

Do you ever wonder what you could have been
If only you could have stopped drinking
Couldn't even keep the good ones you had
Couldn't even keep the good life you had

No this is not, not about you this time
It's not about you this time
You just sit on your ass getting wasted
Take advantage of my patience
Take advantage of my patience
And I am done being patient

And on a late night phonecalls to say
Baby I am really wanted, but I can't change
And no messages in the world can make me stay
Baby it is you who can never change

And no this is not, not about you this time
It's not about you this time
You just sit on your ass getting wasted
And you take advantage of my patience
Take advantage of my patience

And I really need, may your jaw drop tonight
You can't even tell me you think I am [lower]
You are sitting on your ass getting wasted
Take advantage of my patience
And I am done being patient
And I am done being patient

Do you ever wonder what you could have been
If only you could have stopped drinking
Spent the best years of your life in a basement bar
Baby, I am leaving and I am taking your guitar

And you sit on your ass getting wasted
Take advantage of my patience
