To be honest

I'd say you couldn't handle

Another person's angle

Your minds too small

To have any room for doubt

 

I'd tell ya in the morning

I'd be gone before the dawn hit

You wouldn't get the chance

To sigh a whisper

Let alone cry out

 

You tell me that you're leaving

I say Ill start believing

When those days spill into years

And the horizon's clear from tears

 

You're the one who begged the truth

Now you're dumbfounded by the ruthlessness

I feared you wouldn't take too kindly too

And despite my kind intentions

In this headlock of contention

It just so figures Id be the one to end up with a missing tooth
