youāre holding tight to it, the answer.
went home and learned how to clean up after myself.
i donāt need a microphone.
iām getting hard on myself.
she had one white eye, one blank stare.
i realize that youāve realized.
one of these days iām bound to choke.
it hit me that i do all the little things that you do.
i got another job at the liquor store.
hey, if you aināt gonna use it, just give it to us.
i bet we could build a home.
it didnāt take much longer.
look closer and you can see how iāve been running it.
i know youāre gonna ask it.
iām a martyr for my love for you.
your mother put her money into platinum and now you never have to pay attention.
didnāt care what harm was done, just as long as they won the prize.
you canāt switch them around for your own satisfaction.
there was a time when all i wanted was my ice cream colder and a little cream soda.
the hunter became the prey.
theyāre gonna catch you.
anybody got a christmas tree?
you just keep on repeating all those empty āi love youāsā.
it probably donāt make much sense to you.
in that graveyard, iām gonna have the shiniest pair of shoes.
iām bringing back ghosts that are no longer there.
iām trying to save you.
you probably wonāt get what iām going to do.
i was freaking, i was ready to go.
it might sound a little strange for me to say to you, but iām proud to be you.
look at all this, you donāt want it?
come on and give it to me.
itās a shame, what a lame way to live.
sooner or later, iāll break your smile.
iām slowly turning into you.
iām gonna say these words to you.
maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you.
my dumb-luck fake competence was getting weak.
youāll probably call me a fool.
i feel like i canāt go through with this.
this place is like a mansion.
yeah, broke as iāll ever be.
making sense of it all takes a whole lotta concentration.
i guess you have to have a problem if you want to invent a contraption.
iām doing exactly what a coward would do.
if you donāt want it, weāll take it.
you say you deserve better.
in their mind there can be no sin.
youāre more beautiful, compelling and stronger.
their roles were reversed from that day.
i love all the little things.
i donāt know what to do.
i saw some stuff in your yard, are you going to give it to us?
you built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall.
we can do something with them.
iām breaking my teeth off.
iām wondering which one of them i should choose.
every time, you get defensive.
well you canāt blame a baby for her pregnant ma.
for a secā i thought i sounded sweet.
put your head on my shoulder.
well the hills are pretty and rolling.
i hit myself with a stone.
weāll be taking whatever you got.
if youāre headed to the grave, you donāt blame the hearse.
i hate to sound cold, but you donāt know what love is.
if youāre testing god, lying to his face, youāre gonna catch hell.
if you donāt want to give it to us, we keep walking by.
youāre not hopeless or helpless.
if you go looking for hot water, donāt act shocked when you get burned a little bit.
i suspect youāve got a respectable side.
i dig your little laugh and iām loving your quick wit.
you left me brokenhearted.
iām sending in, the moneyās in the mail.
i know the right thing for me to do is to leave you alone.
i aināt saying iām innocent.
next time they stab you, donāt fight back.
you canāt take the effect and make it the cause.
iām slowly turning into you.
thereās nothing left for me to tell you.
i just swallow it and hold on to it and use it to scare the hell out of you.
why donāt you kick yourself out?
my head got a bump when i hit it on the radio.
this battle is in the air.
well sooner or later the groundās gonna be holding all of my ashes too.
i even love it when youāre faking it.
no, sheās my only daughter.
itās for someone elseās benefit.
youāre just looking for a fight.
we got married on the tennessee border.
they were just another conquest.
i got a dollar bill in the cockpit.
make some money out of them at leastā¦
each beautiful thing i come across tells me to stop moving and shake this riddle off.
just play the victim instead of playing the fool.
they were out to make a conquest.
you burnt my house down, then got mad at my reaction.
theyāre annoying as hell, in fact.
you say iām lying and i never really tell you the truth.
iām walking away from you.
itās plain to see that heās not one of us.
they just end up doing the same thing.
iām wondering just how i can do that.
i aināt the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call.
your face is getting older.
every highway that i go down seems to be longer than the last one that i knew about.
something else came to mind.
i aināt supposed to kiss.
i can still see your face.
look, i see something over there.
one sound can hold back a thousand hands.
my mind is filled with rubber tires and forest fires.
weāll make something out of them.
have you got something shiny for me?
i hope you appreciate what i do.
you keep blaming me for what you did.
oh well, iām bone broke.
you donāt know what love is.
iām beginning to like you.
it made everything clearer.
the hunted became the huntress.
an alley full of rocks was all i had to care about.
well, i canāt keep from laughing.
they donāt really care because they pay them.
