Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I've been scraped and I've been bruised
I've never had a love like this to lose
Stealing your heart like an old T-shirt
You'll never throw it away
Living it up like old furniture
Walked past every day
Will you stay up with me long enough to hear me sing?
My voice ain't much
I always wished it were prettier
But never could stand to learn
It's all the same
Wind up to hit and it fades
The life, the game
Wind up to hit and it fades
It's me you carry
Your gold leaf obituary
I know what they're saying about me
The faces are changing
The sentiment is rearranging
They'll all have nightmares about me on my best days
I've been scraped and I've been bruised
I've been scraped and I've been bruised
I've never had a love like this to lose
What did you think it was?
Don't you get what you are?
The weight we're gonna break free from and rise above
It's funny how those than don't do speak tons
It's all the same
Wind up to hit and it fades
The life, the game
Wind up to hit and it fades
It's me you carry
Your gold leaf obituary
I know what they're saying about me
The faces are changing
The sentiment is rearranging
They'll all have nightmares about me on my best days
Cheap bets and ankle weights
Full fledged disarray
But they're our best days
What did you think they were?
To you it's all the same
But I'm learning to let it fade
It's me you carry
Your gold leaf obituary
I know what they're saying about me
The faces are changing
The sentiment is rearranging
They'll all have nightmares about me
I've never had a love like this to lose
Stealing your heart like an old T-shirt
You'll never throw it away
Living it up like old furniture
Walked past every day
Will you stay up with me long enough to hear me sing?
My voice ain't much
I always wished it were prettier
But never could stand to learn
It's all the same
Wind up to hit and it fades
The life, the game
Wind up to hit and it fades
It's me you carry
Your gold leaf obituary
I know what they're saying about me

The sentiment is rearranging
They'll all have nightmares about me on my best days
I've been scraped and I've been bruised
I've been scraped and I've been bruised
I've never had a love like this to lose
What did you think it was?
Don't you get what you are?
The weight we're gonna break free from and rise above
It's funny how those than don't do speak tons

The life, the game

What did you think they were?
To you it's all the same
But I'm learning to let it fade
It's me you carry

I know what they're saying about me
The faces are changing
The sentiment is rearranging
They'll all have nightmares about me

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
