"Hard Up”
A hapless life is all that I have left of this severed tale of hearts. I been hard up on my luck and run down every bar. And every choice that I made in 2 years of my life went to the pretty eyes that haunt me. Now I’m careless and I’m free lord I got nothin. Cuz you can’t see through my poison eyes. And you can’t hurt through my poison heart. And you can’t speak through my poison tongue. But you can poison me all you want. A letter and a reluctant promise was all that I could leave headin for the road. Cuz honey I just had to be back on my own. Now I float past the women like a blindfolded ghost cuz I always hold the rose. You can’t see through my poison eyes. You can’t hurt through my poison heart. And you can’t breathe through my poison lungs. But you can poison me all you want.
You took my hand and walked me through the fire that we set together. And I never knew how it felt to die till you took me there. I took your hand and walked you through the fire that we set together. And you never knew how it felt to die till I left you there. But was it for the better? Who took my hand and walked me through the fire that we set together?
