[Intro:]
|
Go ahead and wager that you never listen to another song of mine
|
I can't say I blame you either
|
'Cause if you made records you ain't gonna catch me listening to that shit
|
But if you do I just want you to know, I didn't make this to hurt you
|
God knows, you done hurt enough
|
Just... I don't know, try to make some real shit, you know
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
Bye, you ain't never gonna see me again
|
If I can help it, little fellow take it easy
|
Fresh out of forced tears, kisses and hugs
|
You about to lose the company of misery loves
|
Ain't never did nothing but try to kill your disease
|
At least help the symptoms, instead you infected me
|
I'm not the kind of man to draw a line in the sand
|
If you gotta draw at all then it's time for you to scram
|
P.S., you can keep all this shit
|
And hang around your broke friends and call yourself rich
|
The struggling I did with you was all for nothin'
|
It was never enough, your heart set on suffering
|
I admit that I was weak in the beginnin'
|
I wanted someone to need me instead of a friendship
|
I didn't think I deserved a true partner
|
So I transferred the arrangement I had with my mama
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Since you never listen to a word I ever said
|
Maybe seeing this door slam, will get it through your head
|
I don't love you, I don't think I ever did
|
And if you hadn't tried to kill me, I'd stayed for the kids
|
|
[Chorus: x2]
|
There's nothin' more for us to say
|
Got my mind made up, I'm walking away
|
Sometimes we just outgrow the role that we play
|
Hope you find a happy ending to you story someday
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Round and round and round we used to go
|
I never fucked you right, I made enough bread, I know
|
From such a bastard, and mistreated you so
|
And how was it you loosing your mind to see me go?
|
Truth be told, I held you together
|
For all them years, and I cheated on you never
|
Defended your honor, took in your mama
|
When she tried to rehab and had you back through the drama
|
You got a sick stone under your ribs
|
Where a heart is suppose to live
|
Sick, twisted and vindictive, with your windows dim
|
Baby, you're not wicked hard bull fish, you must shiver
|
How you threaten to kill the most precious
|
Gift that you'll ever be blessed with?
|
Unless you're twisted, demented and depressed and shit
|
And alone 'cause you faithfully slayed your friendships
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Since you never listen to a word I ever said
|
Maybe seeing this door slam, will get it through your head
|
You don't love me, I don't think you ever did
|
And if you hadn't tried to kill me, I'd stayed for the kids
|
|
[Chorus: x2]
|
There's nothin' more for us to say
|
Got my mind made up, I'm walking away
|
Sometimes we just outgrow the role that we play
|
Hope you find a happy ending to you story someday
|
