Lyrics

So this is what we’ve come to these are the moments that we’ve got? You provoke me with your words and your “I don’t care talk” But I’ve seen your soul, remember I’ve walked this block And your pettiness ain’t worth a second of my thoughts You know I loved you, I know you did in kind But now you act like you’re ready to leave it all behind You walk with your chin up, his jewelry on you shines But your mask of confidence is just a mask, and it’s old and it’s tired Give yourself to a man who gives nothing back But the money in his pockets and his verbal attacks And you’ll receive what you believe you deserve when in fact When you want only that you don’t deserve the shirt off my back I’ll spare you the details of my life You don’t need the ammunition you are doing just fine When you come callin’ with your violin crying My door will be barred shut, my life will be mine You’ll paint my photo’s red but you’ll remember my face You had jacks up your sleeves but you called it an ace And no I ain’t leavin’ town cuz doll this ain’t no chase You were the girl of my dreams, now you’re just a girl and I’m onto other things Give yourself to a man who gives nothing back But the money in his pockets and his verbal attacks And you’ll receive what you believe you deserve when in fact When you want only that you don’t deserve the shirt off my back We talked for hours, did we communicate? Was this just an inevitable twist in our fate? Believe me when I say I hope you’re doing great But if your tongue is forked I’ll be the first to call you a snake Give yourself to a man who gives nothing back But the money in his pockets and his verbal attacks And you’ll receive what you believe you deserve when in fact When you want only that you don’t deserve the shirt off my back
