...You used to use me to protect yourself from other women
...You used to use other women to protect yourself from me
I loved you for teaching me excitement
You loved me for giving you a fighting chance
But time didn't work for us
We waited to long
I've been thinking about leaving
But I didn't think you'd give me parole
I most have committed a felony
Because I got a long sentence with you
I'd try to escape from this prison
But the emotional walls are too high
I guess I've been damned
For once loving you
All the blood lay on the floor
I saw it before I opened the door
Did you do it on purpose
Or was if just for fun
Did you do it on purpose
When you used MY gun
Guess you thought you would die
And I would go to jail
But you didn't die
Just my luck, you would fail
So now my gun's evidence
And it was my favorite one
I guess that makes you happy
But I bought another one
So stop pissing me off
That's all I'm going to say
Stop pushing my buttons
If you want to live another day
We knew each other since first grade
We got together everyday and played
And as we aged, and got a little older
Our games progressed and got a lot bolder
We partied here and partied there
And lived our lives without a care
Every girl wanted you, and hated me
Every guy who wanted me, thought I wasn't free
Even when I moved from state to state
You would end up there at a very quick rate
From the East Coast to West Coast and
back East again
You followed me around without having a plan
And then the day I married that guy
You looked at me with a tear in your eye
The letter you wrote said I made a mistake
The thought of those words, I just couldn't shake
But, by the time I had realized that you
were right
You had packed everything up and left
during the night
I called everyone I could think to call
The answer was the same, they knew
nothing at all
I wanted so much to tell you I was free
Free to start our lives, the way we knew
they should be
I went to bed so many nights wondering
what you were thinking
Finally, the phone woke me up with that
middle of the night ringing
It was you on the line saying meet me
at the lake
I sped in my car without once hitting the brake
But you never showed and I figured I deserved it
So I took the long way home to really
think about it
I got there at 4:37, I'll never forget that time
I heard a phone ringing and realized it was mine
I answered the phone and it was your Mom
She was crying and said, "Honey, our
Scotty is gone!"
Until we meet again
I love you, Scotty
These lyrics hit close to home:
You look at my skin
Outside not what's inside you will see
That I'll never change for authority
Cuz my ink's my mark on society
Read between these lines and you'll understand
That my ink is with me 'till the end
I'm inked 'till the end.
