I've Gotta Be Mad

lyrics

So this is where things stand I guess the moments couldn't last.
And after those years it's still so hard to look back.
The picture frame outline on the wall is a sign that you won't ever leave my mind.

But if I could do all of this again, I'd still write you every love song in hope you won't forget my name.

But...

I know things are not right , yeah, it's gonna take time.
It's gotta be bad before it gets better.
Is that tremble in your voice mean you don't want to say goodbye?
Babe I'm all ears but right now I've gotta be mad.

I walk around now with a twisted point of view.
Some things are killin' me but some how I'm gonna get through.
And everyone I know can see that I am not the same.
But I tell them it's okay.

But if I could do all of this again, I'd still write you every love song in hope you won't forget my name.

But...

I know things are not right , yeah, it's gonna take time.
It's gotta be bad before it gets better.
Is that tremble in your voice mean you don't want to say goodbye?
Babe I'm all ears but right now I've gotta be mad.

I hope that someday things will all make sense.
I'm praying we're happy with the choices that we make.
And I'll never forget how you smiled when it was me who was making you happy.

I know things are not right , yeah, it's gonna take time.
It's gotta be bad before it gets better.
Is that tremble in your voice mean you don't want to say goodbye?
Babe I'm all ears but right now I've gotta be mad.

I know things are not right , yeah, it's gonna take time.
It's gotta be bad before it gets better.
Is that tremble in your voice mean you don't want to say goodbye?
Babe I'm all ears but right now I've gotta be mad.


Right now I've gotta be mad.

Right now I've gotta be mad.

Right now I've gotta be mad.

Right now I've gotta be mad.
