Written with Jeff Pruitt

lyrics

When I look into your eyes, it makes my stomach turn
Just to see your wicked ways, it makes my eyes burn
You may say that it’s okay, that we can still be friends
Well I’m so sorry, Baby, but I just can’t make amends

Don’t look at me, just walk away, come here or call it quits
My heart it lies, ‘cause other guys can’t make me feel like this
There were reasons for you leavin’, why’d you come around?
I’ll get off of this stranger’s knee if you lay your whiskey down

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Don’t give me that cheap charade, I’ve heard it all before
I should gather all my wits and walk right out the door
You won’t ever see yourself for who you really are
So I’ll be seeing you a different time, a different bar

You pretend I don’t exist, you drink into the night
And even though I hate you, it’s love that makes us fight
There’s gonna be a showdown, I dance across the floor
You’ll always be a drunk, and I’ll always be a whore

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

You hit me with those fighting words, but let me tell you what
Don’t try to dance or make a stand, my heart can’t take this much
You wanna make those snide remarks, they chill me to the core
So I’ll just walk away from here, no bother anymore

Your touch, it breaks my heart, and your kiss brings me to tears
You’ll go pass out, he’ll take me home, we’ll sleep off all those years
One last look, I turn away, as your eyes hand me off
I try to say “I love you,” but my voice comes out too soft

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
