|
I'm all washed out by the side of the road. |
|
Broken bones |
|
Matilda left a note and a rose. |
|
Saying "Baby honey child, I loved you so long but you deserve much better than me" |
|
So I'm just burning all around. |
|
All the miles in the road. |
|
And I'm never going back. |
|
And I'm never going home. |
|
I've been gone too long. |
|
I've been less right than wrong. |
|
I've lost so much blood in the falling out. |
|
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out. |
|
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house. |
|
Until all |
|
I remember was burning away. |
|
And all I remember, you're burnin' away. |
|
See for 10 long years |
|
I've been hustling around. |
|
Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow. |
|
Just trying to find a better life for me and my own. |
|
Just some rest for these tired working fingers. |
|
But nobody never gonna tell you the way. |
|
You gotta figure it out boys. |
|
And suffer the rain, and the fools in the night, and the heat of the day. |
|
When all you ever really wanted was for someone to understand. |
|
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out. |
|
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house. |
|
Until all |
|
I remember was burning away. |
|
And all I remember, you're burnin' away. |
|
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry. |
|
You cross your hard heart and hope to die. |
|
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time. |
|
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night. |
|
And you're sugar and spice, and everything nice. |
|
You got Monroe hips, your poison lips and knives. |
|
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice. |
| [2x] |
You got open wounds in a young boy's pride. |
|
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out. |
|
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house. |
|
Until all |
|
I remember was burning away. |
|
And all that you left me you're burning away. |
|
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry. |
|
You cross your hard heart and you hope to die. |
|
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time. |
|
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night. |
|
Time, time, tickin' away |
|
Time, time, tickin' away (All over your face) |
|
Time, time, tickin' away (All over my face) |
