Tongue is sharp

Got an axe to grind

Girls go wrong, men go right after them

I don't win and it's a compromise

You'll be the loser that pays the dividend

Far from you you'll find me

Such an easy target and a tragedy

You're just a shiver looking for a spine

You can have your way, but you can't have mine

If I had one wish you'd go away

I haven't snapped yet, but I'm on the brink of it

And I'm not as dumb as the look on your face

You'll never be half the man your mama is

Overloaded by the way you talk

A hairpin trigger that I can't stop

Empty words taking up my time

And you can have your way

But you can't have mine

'cause every shot baby it feels like a resurrection

I'm looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle again

You show up and it starts another chain reaction

Oh but I can't tell if it's you or the drink

It's too hard to know

'cause it hurts to think

Far from you you'll find me

Such an easy target and a casualty

You're just a shiver looking for a spine

You can have your way, but you can't have mine

'cause every shot baby it feels like a resurrection

I'm looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle again

You show up and it starts another chain reaction

Oh but I can't tell if it's you or the drink

It's too hard to know

'cause it hurts to think

Yeah it hurts to think
