Hey kid, you're such a liar Those pictures that I saw Plastered on your wall Weren't unfortunate at all Hey kid, don't keep me guessing You swore you'd make it work I felt like a jerk When I thought I missed your call But you...you never even called The first day of December When you turned twenty-four You were beating down my door Going on about some war That evening when I kissed you We both had had enough You were acting tough You tried to drink a little more Then we both drank a little more And you told stories that I swear I've heard before At least six or seven times We walked an our to The closest liquor store But we got there as they Were turning off the sign This basement is a prison A cell I've built myself It still beats the hell Out of hiding someplace else Hey kid, don't be a hero I got some time to serve You'll get what you deserve But for now just save yourself Just run off and save yourself
