when you’re tired of learning the same lessons over in life, give me a call
can you catch yourself when no one is around with open arms when you fall?
you used to have it all, I wonder why’d you risk it all
it’s been years and here’s this big *** burden I still haul

how’d I carry the weight of you when I couldn’t hold myself
how did I help you, I was the help that felt the need to help you out
giving away my last, I watched myself deteriorate and melt
I was no longer the head, suddenly I became the tail

this is the tale of a young girl who threw everything good in her life away
you reap what you sew but I never thought I’d pay
I threw myself away, got down with the dogs there I laid
with a man I loved and sold my soul for him to take
