 Struggling with Bookend? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I know I was just a bookend to you 
Put there to hold your stories up while you found something new
But you gave me your consolation prize 
A little something for your efforts and a shot right at my pride 

Don't know what I was thinking 
Giving everything that I have 
Looking for a new end to the 
Same old story 

I want it back 
Every single thing I said to make you laugh 
I want it in tact 
There's just some victories I really need to have 

I've been keeping my hands in my pockets for a little while 
Trying to keep my chin up without sticking my nose into the air 
But they want me to take this bribe 
Caught cold like I'm faded or I never tried 
But if I'm going down 
They'll have to go to the cards, yeah he lost 
But the man can fight fair 

Don't know what I was thinking 
Giving less than all that I have 
Looking for a new end to the same old story 

I want it bad 
The kind of happiness the cynics scoff at 
Don't want it to lack 
Any properties I think it should have 

Down in the foothills of Georgia 
I spent a lot of time looking up toward 
Higher peaks; greener leaves 
I think I'm ready to scale the bluffs 
And I'm taking you with me 
But you should speak if you've had enough 

Don't know what I was thinking 
Giving less than all that I have 
Looking for a new end to the same old story 

I want it back 
The kind of happiness I had in photographs 
I want it to last 
Not the kind that you blink and then it's passed
