Water in a Well

Sturgill Simpson

You say that looks can be deceiving
There′s been rumours going 'round
One look at me is the same thing as believingEverything you′ve heard without hearing a sound
If my eyes remind you of water in a well

'Cause your heart is a stone
I know sometimes it can seem like my mind
Belongs to a child that's grown
Somewhere between you and me
I′ve lost my way and I′m trying to get back home
Trying like hell but it's too soon to tell
If our love has all dried up
Like water in a well

Lord knows I′ve tried to move on
And get you out of my mind
You find your way into all of my songs
And every memory I manage to find
Someday if I'm standing on some big old stage
And you′re down in the crowd
Trying to tell friends
You used to know him when
But in your heart you know it ain't true somehow

Trying like hell but it′s too soon to tell
If our love has all dried up
Like water in a well
I know you see what it's doing to me
Up here playing my part in this nobody town
