lyrics

I lost hope, but I still got friends

I don’t treat as well as I want

but nothing waits for my grieving
except the famous grace of god

I quit smoking like I quit on you

I just don’t miss you as much

I’m still trying to decide, ‘cause they're both new,
which decision was better for my health

sometimes, I close my eyes
and see your face,

wake up in the middle of the night
yelling, go away

so I prayed I’d stop dreaming,
but I’m not sure I’ve slept since
and I hoped that you’d start fading,
but I’m not sure you ever left
I don’t know what it is that I want
I just don’t want what I’ve known
I used to walk beside you,

but now I walk alone

lost my wallet in Arkansas,

90 bucks and a picture of us

lately I’ve been trying not to care at all
and, let me tell you, most days it works

but sometimes, I close my eyes
and see your face,

wake up in the middle of the night
yelling, Go away

so I prayed I’d stop dreaming,
but I’m not sure I’ve slept since
and I hope that you'll start fading,
but I’m not sure you ever left
I don’t know what it is that I want
I just don’t want what I’ve known
I used to walk beside you,

but now I walk alone

sometimes, I close my eyes
and see your face,

wake up in the middle of the night
yelling, Go away

so I prayed I’d stop dreaming,
but I’m not sure I’ve slept since
and I hope that you’ll start fading,
but I’m not sure you ever left

I don’t know what it is that I want
I just don’t want what I’ve known
I used to walk beside you,

but now I walk alone

oh now I walk alone

oh now I walk alone

Joelton Mayfield image

Joelton Mayfield Nashville, Tennessee

Raised in small-town central Texas and based in Nashville, Tennessee, Joelton Mayfield crafts hard-hitting alt-country that’s at home in dive bars and DIY venues alike. His deft lyricism draws a Southern Gothic literary sensibility and deals intimately with the tensions embedded in family, religion, masculinity, and love in the American South. ... more
