The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Oscar Wilde
You've been telling everybody
How much you love me
But I don't know, I don't know
You throw your arms around me
Tell me that you missed me
Is that so, I don't know
I been laid off from work my rent is due
My kids all need brand new shoes
So I went to the bank to see what they could do
They said Son looks like bad luck got a hold on you
Money's too tight to mention
[Chorus: x2]
Y'all *****s know (what what y'all *****s know what I'm about)
Y'all *****s know, find me at my do' when the guns come out
I do this all the time, stuck with a little shine
Walk with a little nine, case I get in a bind
It's been seven hours and thirteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I build a fence around you in a father’s way
I try to feel what it is your going through
Co’s I’ve played many ways
When you grow, how much will it take to slow you down…
Half the way?
Conforming on a monday
Too often and too cold
But you aren't even listening
Because you are just
Too old to feel an earthquake
Dreams are there to show you the way
(Better take a look inside)
Close your eyes find out what they're trying to say
(You gotta take a look inside)
Only for a minute
Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
I memorized all the words for you but if you only knew
How much that's just not like me
I wait up late every night just to hear your voice
But you don't know that's nothing like me
You know I wonder how you already figured out
Too much wine has crossed my mind
And closed the gates.
Shadows move all across my room
In waves of late.
I almost think this table is alive.
