I'm All Out Of Ideas

Verse
I showed up daily at your old front gate
Sat in my truck hopin’ you’d take the bait
Bought you the daisies you always liked
Waited all morning but you never replied
Stood in your driveway till the sun started to fall
Left you a message sayin’, “Baby, please call”

Pre-Chorus
Every little thing I tried felt right
But you couldn’t even give a goodbye

Chorus
I’m out here tryin’ everything I can
From showin’ up to beggin’ like a desperate man
From late-night calls to sad serenades
Even asked your momma if she’d plead my case
I’ve burned through hope like a dumpster fire
And you’re still actin’ like your heart’s retired
I’ve done all I know and then some, dear
Yeah… I’m all out of ideas

Verse
I wrote a letter but I tore it in two
Talked to a buddy just to hear the truth
Opened my phone just to turn it off again
Prayin’ for courage I can’t even pretend
I cut the habits you always blamed
But nothin’ I’m changin’ is changin’ your name

Pre-Chorus
But no matter what I do or say
You keep slippin’ a little more each day

Chorus
I’m out here throwin’ every line I got
From songs I wrote to takin’ one last shot
From quiet tears to reckless vows
Even asked the good Lord to help me somehow
I’ve run my hope down to the final spark
And you’re still not walkin’ back to my heart
Yeah, I’ve begged, I’ve prayed, I’ve cried my share
Yeah… I’m all out of ideas

Bridge
Maybe love ain’t something you chase
Maybe you’re gone and I’m just late
But if tryin’ counted, you’d be right here
Now Instead I'm just full of this fear

Chorus
Now I’m done tryin’ every trick I know
No more drive-bys hopin’ you’ll show
No more midnight alibis
No more hopin’ you’ll come change your mind
I’ve drained through hope till the whole well’s dry
And you’re still just a shadow in goodbye
So I’m takin’ what’s left and walkin’ clear
Yeah… I’m all out of ideas

Outro
If you ever wonder why I disappeared…
Just know I was all out of ideas.
