Why did it have to come to this?
And why did it have to be like this?
Why did it have to be this way?
And why did I have to put her away?
She showed up kicking down my front door
Slapped me 'cross the face
and pushed me right down on the floor
Yes, she called me names...
What a way to win the day and waste away (?)
two f****** years
Now I've lived my life in shame
She said I have no one to blame (?)
But why did it have to go this way
And as she cried, these tears would never go away
Slow down baby, take it easy,
put that gun back in your car
Shooting me ain't worth the life behind those metal bars
How about me and you working it out
Can't you see I've come so far (?)
Then she pulled the trigger
and everything around
just went dark
[...]
The judge he
I know my wounds they'll heal
but the scars won't go away
I hope you can remember what you're done and what you've said
Or in 20 years you'll find me
and you'll try again
to shoot me dead
