Tongue is sharp, got an ax to grind
Rules go wrong, man go right after them
If I don’t win and it’s a compromise
You’ll be the loser that pays the dividend
Far from you you’ll find me
Such an easy target in a tragedy
You’re just a shiver looking for a spine
You can have your way but you can’t have mine
If I had one wish you’d go away
I haven’t slept yet but I’m on the brink of it
I’m not as dumb as the look on your face
You’ll never be half the man your momma is
Overloaded by the way you talk
A hairpin trigger that I can’t stop
Empty words taking up my time
And you can have your way but you can’t have mine
Cause every time baby it feels like a resurrection
I’m looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle again
You show up and it starts another chain reaction
Oh, but I can’t tell if it’s you or the drink
It’s too hard to know cause it hurts to think
Far from you you’ll find me
Such an easy target and a casualty
You’re just a shiver looking for a spine
And you can have your way but you can’t have mine
Every time baby it feels like a resurrection
I’m looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle again
You show up and it starts another chain reaction
Oh, but I can’t tell if it’s you or the drink
It’s too hard to know cause it hurts to think
Yeah, it hurts to think
