Tell Me You're Not Alright

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,
when I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Those words hit me hard. I sat in a complete daze just playing them over and over in my head.

"Meg. You okay?" Zacky said snapping his fingers in front of my face.

"Huh? Yeah. I'm fine. I like that song. Its differnt from what you guys usually write." I said sitting up straighter.

"Matt wrote that one." He said looking down

"Oh? Well I like it, and I'll have to tell him that."

"Meg. He wrote it for you."

I sighed "I'm sure he did." and then got up and walked off the bus for a smoke. I pulled out my Marlboros from by back pocket and lit one up. Letting the smoke rest on my throat.

"Got one for me Meg?" Brian said leaning against the bus next to me.

I nodded and pulled out the box and gave him one, he lit it up. "If there was good thing you picked up from me it was this" he said holding his cigarette up.

"Yeah" I replied.

"We got a show tonight, you gonna watch it with the other girls?" he asked.

"Sure. I haven't seen you guys play live before, it'll be a treat." I took the final drag, then dropped my cigarette to the ground and crushed it under my foot.

"Drinks after!" he hollered as I walked back on the bus.

I dropped my body onto the couch and layed down, closing my eyes for a moment before I felt a weight drop on my stomach. My eyes flew open, when I gasped for air and seen the culprit to be Zacky.

He bounced up and down and I groaned until I shoved him off, causing him to fall on the floor with a loud thud. I laughed at the look of surprise on his face.

"Bitch. What the hell'd you do that for?" He said getting up.

I sat up and scooted over and patted the seat next to me, offering him the seat. "You were crushing me."

He sat down next to me "Matt really did write that song for you Meg."

I shot a look at him "I heard you the first time. I don't need you to keep telling me that, okay?" I said bluntly before crossing my arms.

"Okay. I'm just letting you know he still cares."

I laughed "If he cared he wouldn't have left that day without even telling me. I had to hear it from my brother, and that was after you guys left."

Zacky sighed "He was just as hard on him as it was you Meg, you gotta realize that."

"Whatever, and why are you telling me this now, its been six years, I don't even care anymore."

"If you say so. But come on, we gotta go do a sound check." he said getting up.

"I'm gonna stay. I'll see you guys play live tonight." I replied.

"You just don't wanna see him." he replied walking off the bus.

"I know." I whisered to my self when the door shut.
