Smarter Than I Was

Wind is howling
Im all alone
Sitting by the fire
But I cant get warmer
Been 9 cold nights
She aint coming home
She took my soul to the darker side
But halfway there
I done got wise
9 cold nights
Time to say goodbye
I guess my best
Just wasnt good enough
I may not look it
But Im smarter than I was
Dogs are barking
In the midnight rain
Thunder and lightning
To know this pain
9 cold nights
But tonight its gonna change
I guess my best
Just wasnt good enough
I may not look it
But Im smarter than I was
Burn them memories
Like gasoline
Its time I learned
To wipe it clean
Tonight your mine
No longer haunting me
I guess my best
Just wasnt good enough
I may not look it
But Im smarter than I was
I may not look it
But Im much smarter than I was
