Bill Wells - Ballad of the bastard lyrics

I crushed your heart in my bloody fists When i did the honest thing and told you of my trysts: You demanded truth, that's exactly what you got You should've k**ed me there right where i stood When i casually confessed that i'd been up to no good; You should've just stepped back and taken your best shot But i a**ured you then that i could change my ways And i think that might've lasted for a couple of days And once again the self-styled lady k**er's caught The sensible solution is to walk away But I'll cunningly convince you that you've got to stay I'll poison your resolve and twist your every thought I don't love you, who knows if i ever did? Who the f*** did i think i was trying to kid? You're just the latest s**er that i've sought Everyone is scared of being on their own I thought i was the master but my cover's blown Consider me a lesson deftly taught
