You're the salt in my wound
You're the sting in my tail
You're the last of all answers to my prayers
You're the storm on the horizon
You're the wind and the rain
And I'll find no shelter there
My Mother warned me that a man like you
Would only bring sorrow and pain
She said "he'll drag you down to the belly of your bones
and leave you broken just where you lay"
Just where you lay
I've been at war
And I've been at peace
I've walked every road in between
Good men try but they can't set you free
I know just what I need
And it's bad for me
You're the thorn on the rose
You're the ink in the well
You're all of my nightmares come true
Every plays tragedy
Every broken melody
Each and every one of them is you
With a bloodshot sky and the shadows creeping in
You're the devil always knocking at my door
You're the last shot in a bottle of gin
When I thought I couldn't take any more
Take any more
I've been at war
And I've been at peace
I've walked every road in between
Good men try but they can't set you free
I know just what I need
And it's bad for me
I've been at war
And I've been at peace
I've walked every road in between
Good men try but they can't set you free
I know just what I need
And it's bad for me
