jason isbell - eileen lyrics

[verse 1]
started out like it always starts
try to hold the hunger back
you don’t antic+p+te a broken heart
can’t see nothing but the track
a diamond earring in a bowery bed
you kicked your shoes across the floor
do you regret the things that went unsaid
or have you heard it all before?

[chorus]
eileen, you should’ve seen this coming sooner
do i mean to be alone for all my days?
eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
but that’s your way

[verse 2]
it ended like it always ends
somebody crying on the phone
you tell each other you can still be friends
you both know you’re on your own
my own behavior was a shock to me
i never thought i’d have the nerve
i hope you’re sleeping through the night, eileen
i hope they’re grading on the curve
[chorus]
eileen, you should’ve seen this coming sooner
do i mean to be alone for all my days?
eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
but that’s your way
that’s your way

[verse 3]
somebody broke my heart once
and i was useless for a week
i didn’t leave my apartment
i didn’t eat, i didn’t speak
but then i found the letter she wrote
against the wall behind the bed
it said, “forever is a dead man’s joke”
and that’s the only thing it said

[chorus]
eileen, you should’ve seen this coming sooner
do i mean to be alone for all my days?
eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
but that’s your way
that’s your way
