smarter than i was

wind is howling

i'm all alone

sitting by the fire

but i can't get warmer

been 9 cold nights

she ain't coming home

she took my soul to the darker side

but halfway there

i done got wise

9 cold nights

time to say goodbye

i guess my best

just wasn't good enough

i may not look it

but i'm smarter than i was

dogs are barking

in the midnight rain

thunder and lightning

to know this pain

9 cold nights

but tonight it's gonna change

i guess my best

just wasn't good enough

i may not look it

but i'm smarter than i was

burn them memories

like gasoline

it's time i learned

to wipe it clean

tonight your mine

no longer haunting me

i guess my best

just wasn't good enough

i may not look it

but i'm smarter than i was

i may not look it

but i'm much smarter than i was
