lyrics

Woke up on the wrong side of bed and it’s a shame cause the other sides against the wall
The sun breaking through the window is howling like a banshee down the hall
Don’t act so surprised to see this ghost, you shouldn’t be surprised at all
In a corner of your heart you were always preparing for the fall
Chorus:
You had to know I’d burn it all down in time
You had to know I’d eventually throw all these pearls to swine
Don’t go placing blame for I know, now it’s all mine
You take the pain however it helps you, I’ll take it mainline

It’s hell or high water, Its always one or both of them
It’s a lie to say that we can still be friends
It’s a joke to think this thing will ever be right again
It’s the kind of thing that happens, every now and then
Chorus
