lyrics

I’ve learned trouble comes like rain
I can pull the shade and wait for the clouds to break
Or I can boot up in the mud and fight for my name
Knowing that it’s heartache either way

See I fell in love pulling punches
I never had the stomach for a fight
Now I’m counting breaths and bloody knuckles
To ease the ache of what’s left behind

I could smell smoke before I saw flames
She set the whole thing ablaze
Now I’m upside down and filled with hate
Top off my buckets with the weight

It’s been a year since I’ve known her desire
The first and fifteenth paycheck for hire
I’ve seen the teeth of one too many liars
To linger in a frying pan, scared of the fire

I could smell smoke before I saw flames
She set the whole thing ablaze
Now I’m upside down and filled with hate
Top off my buckets with the weight

I could smell smoke before I saw flames
She set the whole thing ablaze
Now I’m upside down and filled with hate
Top off my buckets with the weight

Has anyone else noticed that the last few seconds of Abandoned Love are scrambled??? Even when you play it on Bandcamp, it's messed up. Great album, but needs fixed! Justa Lint
