I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN JUST WHERE TO FIND YOU
JUST BEYOND WHERE RHYME AND REASON WENT
AND I SHOULDN"T HAVE TO REMIND YOU
OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WAS SAID AND MEANT
BUT THERE YOU GO, AND HERE I AM
BANGED OUT, BUSTED, AND d***ED STRAIGHT OVERSPENT
EACH AND EVERY LETTER THAT YOU WROTE
NOW BECOME THE HAND WRAPPED "ROUND YOUR THROAT
EACH AND EVERY LETTER THAT SHE READ
HANG, NOW, LIKE THE SWORD ABOVE YOUR HEAD
YOU"LL NEVER LISTEN, AND I"LL NEVER LEARN
SOMETHINGS ARE JUST BETTER LEFT UNTOLD
LORD KNOWS, I TRIED TO LEAVE YOU SOME TIME AGO
IF I COULD BE SO BOLD...
LIKE THE LEAVES AT MY WINDOW, MY AFFECTION FOR YOU
HAS TURNED FROM GREEN TO GOLD
EACH AND EVERY WORD THAT YOU MAY WRITE
HAUNT THE DREAMS THAT WAKE YOU EVERY NIGHT
EACH AND EVERY WORD THAT YOU MIGHT PEN
COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN...
I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW THAT IT"S GOING NOWHERE
I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW JUST WHERE WE STAND
I"D RATHER NOT DARE TO TAKE THE RISK
OF ANOTHER b*** MARK ON MY FIST
SO, IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND (as to) LET GO (of) MY HAND?
JUST BEYOND WHERE RHYME AND REASON WENT
AND I SHOULDN"T HAVE TO REMIND YOU
OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WAS SAID AND MEANT
BUT THERE YOU GO, AND HERE I AM
BANGED OUT, BUSTED, AND d***ED STRAIGHT OVERSPENT
EACH AND EVERY LETTER THAT YOU WROTE
