Richard Thompson - Wounding Myself lyrics

I know where you lay your head down In the dirty back alleys in town Feeding your head with c**aine Whiskey and lies, lies, lies It’s like sticking a knife in my side The way that you bottled your pride I’m scared to see you I’m scared to look in your eyes, eyes, eyes Nothing makes sense about you You friends use the past tense about you I can’t help where life shoved you You hurt everyone who ever loved you And now I’m just wounding myself, wounding myself You always wanted to know The depths to which you could go Did you know you’d break every promise On the way down, down, down And the spiders that crawl in your head Make you say the mean words that you say It hurts to lose you, it hurts to love you So I’ll just say, see you around What’s the point in despairing What’s the point of even caring You turned your back on everyone Gone down like the setting sun
