I'VE GOT HALF A MIND

We made every promise
Like new lovers always do
Never cheat, never lie, no
And always be a friend to you

Now you have your lawyer
And of course I have mine, too
And they stand between us
Like a wall we can't get through

I've got half a mind to pack the whole thing in
Wrap my sorrows up and drown them all in gin
I've got half a mind to give you one last call
But I've got half a mind, that's all

I've got half a heart to blame it all on you
Play the martyr, that's what cowards always do
I've got half a heart that says you'd take my call
But I've got half a heart, that's all

Used to be so easy
We were full of love and hope
Now it's hard to reach out
With only one hand on the rope

There's a cold wind howling
There's a hard rain on the roof
It's a deep, dark nightmare
Guaranteed we both will lose

I've got half a mind to pack the whole thing in
Wrap my sorrows up and drown them all in gin
I've got half a mind to give you one last call
But I've got half a mind, that's all

I've got half a heart to blame it all on you
Play the martyr that's what cowards always do
I've got half a heart that says you'd take my call
But I've got half a heart, that's all
Yeah, I've got half a heart that's all
I've got half a heart that's all
