lyrics
Ain't Life Cruel

I'm cutting you out, out of my heart, my weakest part. / I'm doing it the hard way. I'm doing it all wrong. / I'm doing it the only way that I know how. I want you out. / I'm burning all my photographs. I'm burning all of my clothes. / Burning all those notes that you wrote me, you know I kept all of those. / They say you love me. They say you need me. They say you might be home kinda late / But not to worry. Now what did that mean? Now what could that mean? // In light of what I know now / About that night you stayed out / And when you finally found your way back home you had no underwear on // You've been in there so long now. I let you grow in too deep. / Well, it was all based on the simple premise, darling / That my heart was the only heart that you would keep /
So now I'm taking up my sharpest blade. / You know I read somewhere that the first incision is made / Just below the pain / Yeah, I'm a mess of broken ribs and bruises / Just a patchwork-quilt chest filled with staples and sutures / Ok, I confess that I'm still a damn fool for you / At best I'm a poor loser, I guess. / Ain't life cruel. / While these wounds are healing now baby, I'm confined to this single bed / Trying to keep the source of possible infection from running rampant through my head / I'm feeling so much better now darling that I haven't thought of you for days / My heart can finally keep to its steady beat, that is until my mind strays / And then I want you. And then I need you. And then I can't see the scars that you left behind / Only your baby blues. Yeah, only they'll do. I guess I'm not over you // In spite of all that I've done / To cut you out and move on / A change of heart won't change the simple truth, that I'm still in love with you // Why won't you let me be your man anymore? / Why won't you please just take a chance anymore? / I only want to hold your hand, like before / Just let me show you that I can.
