Goodnight, Good Guy Lyrics

Collective Soul

Somebody told me about a worn out distraction
That I had let slip away
Then it comes back and rides my shoulders
And burdens me every new day
Well Ill just sit here like a slow burn out
And try to figure out how to do without you
Whos going to straighten me up when Im leaning
Whos going to soothe my heart when its burning
Whos going to be the one to tell me everythings
All right well, goodnight, good guy
Ill break the bread of a new day and wonder
If faith will carry me along
But days are longer as my heart gets weaker and
I can only stay so strong
Well Ill just sit here like a wounded soul
Whos finding it difficult to just let go
Im gonna let you sleep
Ill let you fade off in the night
I pray the lord to keep
I pray the lord to hold you tight
Goodnight
