Don't Tell Grace
Words & Music by Mike Franks & Jeff Owens
Don't tell Grace -you saw me here drinkin'
I promised her I would be okay
I need a place where I can do some thinkin'
and forget that she’s gone away
They say that time will heal all your wounds
but they don't always - tell the truth
As I sit here on this old worn bar-stool
I swear when I came in it was new
She would stay - for all the wrong reasons
I tried to change - but I wasn't what she needed...
So It's better she goes her way
and for her sake don’t tell Grace
When she walked out, she looked at me softly
and she slowly closed the door
and I looked around me - saw a half-a-bottle of whiskey,
Well, it ain't half- empty anymore
Now I thought I'd found a place where I could hide
'til you walked in here - late tonight
Of all the luck, you would be her Best-friend
As if luck were on my side
She would stay - for all the wrong reasons
I tried to change - but I wasn't what she needed...
Ahh just let her think that I'm okay
and for her sake don’t tell Grace
She had a smile; & she-looked-so damn happy
When I saw her - the other day
I turned around from her - and she never saw me
Well I think it's best we keep it that way
And if you think you see a tear drop on my face
It's just the lights here - in this place
This room is filled with smoke and cheap perfume
So there's no need to tell Grace
There's just No need to tell Grace
She would stay - for all the wrong reasons
I tried to change - but I wasn't what she needed...
How'd I ever let her get away
Now it's too late so don’t tell Grace
Yeah, it's too late don’t tell Grace
