You can't stop the k**er.) (You can't stop. You can't stop the k**er.) I work my hands right down to the bone Still you don't give me what I want You are so ungrateful We're more like a house than a home Please, dear, understand I'm sorry again for all that I said And how could you leave? I swear that I'll be a better man Well, go ahead and run, run Run from the man with the gun in his hand Darling, I would shoot you Before I would ever let you leave Oh, dear God... In a certain place I've kept my outs One for us both, two for my doubts I'm shaking. I'm hollow because I know how to get this done So I will be the only one to follow To follow through with this [x2] You kneel beside her at the foot of the grave Your daughter is crying and you say she's in a better place She was never perfect. Oh, my friend, neither were you
