I don’t want to speak about it
I just want to get used to it
You make me want to drink about it
You make me want to get loose with it
CHORUS:
So cut me down, and cut me loose
Because I choose to walk alone
With a hangman’s noose
I have found the only truce
Either you’re gonna leave
Or I’m gonna leave
We’re basically the same
I’m going back from whence I came
I’m going back from whence I came
I don’t want to ask about it
‘Fraid it might make too much sense
And I don’t want to hash it out
It’s not my place to make amends
CHORUS
So take my home
The one I own
And change the pictures on the table
The Walls agree
They always did, with me
We never fit the married label
CHORUS (2x)
