An Antonym of Your Love, A Synonym for Mine

Wake up baby
You ain’t hiding that pretending on your face
You ain’t taking me down that road again
Just to leave me alone wallowing in all the blame

Shake up lately
I need to shake this situation right off of me
I need to take the reins and steer the ponies away
From the ruts we cut guiding this old, stubborn train

I’m reading your letter
Writing down my better comeback lines
Trying to find meaning between your words
Riding down these steel lines
To another town hoping to find
An antonym of your love
A synonym for mine

Pack it lightly
Don’t weigh yourself down with a heavy load
Don’t allow yourself to let the fault all fall on you
By a skilled tongue singing in a persuasive tone

Tie it tightly
A rope around the scroll when you feel like screaming
A note explaining the toll it took finding healing
In the aftermath of your broken heart's cornerstone

I’m reading your letter
Writing down my better comeback lines
Trying to find meaning between your words
Riding down these steel lines
To another town hoping to find
An antonym of your love
A synonym for mine
