There's a Part of Me

There’s a part of me
That I wish you knew
It counts the stars at night
That you and I are through
Though my broken heart is badly bruised
It heals a little everyday
That I spend away from you

I think about them summer days
When I’d listen to you complain
How the sunshine wasn’t bright enough
The cold beers they weren’t cold enough
That aged like a banana on a sill

There’s a part of me
That I wish you knew
It counts the stars at night
That you and I are through
Though my broken heart is badly bruised
It heals a little everyday
That I spend away from you

I remember that Christmas
When you got a neck tattoo
And your momma cried and
Spent the holidays holed up inside her room
She said that you can’t be buried
With your family anymore

There’s a part of me
That I wish you knew
Stays up late at night
And hopes that you’ll pull through
Though my broken heart is badly bruised
It heals a little everyday
That I spend away from you

Seems like your paydays
Are always just around the bend
But when the bill comes
It’s just me again
And you’re off on some High Horse
Singing ‘Hi Ho Silver in the Wind’
