Good Reputation

Verse 1

You’re out late with another guy

Does it solve the problem in your heart.

Its your wish that’s his command,

The world’s a stage and your acting the part.

You’re telling him that it’s over,

So you can edge yourself away.

When a memory gets a grip on you,

When denials a taste of the day.

Verse 2

Cold eyes, those jealous stares,

Follow you wherever you go.

When you see a scene that’s to close for comfort

And you try not to show.

Well you think your a winner,

Climbing to the top of the tree.

But in the end those leaves will fall,

they’re all swept away.

Chorus

When it’s a good reputation turned bad,

you’re the best friend that you ever had.

And in the end, when all is said and done,

No one to leave your mark upon.

Verse 3

Is it life you’re sick of?

Are you just cold inside?

Is it something you try to hide,

When love calls on you.

Just one look that’s a breath away,

When the man in the woman breaks out again,

You make them pay.

Bridge

There’s a step to bridge the gap,

through the times we’ve been apart,

A second

A minute

A day

An Hour

That’s still a big part of you

Middle 8

If you were dying, could you forget the hurt inside?

Last breath he’s breathing

Could you call it quits and let it ride?

A word in a whisper breathing on your skin,

Blows your world to the wind,

And back again.
