Harm

You took my life like another pill
Threw it down with a swig of charm
Drowned your guilt in cheap red wine
All you ever done to me is harm
You threw my book out with tomorrow's trash
Gave my final draft the old stiff-arm
Picked up another fuckin' Harry Potter novel
All you ever done to me is harm
I gave you orchids on Valentine's Day
You returned them with a look of alarm
You spit in my face, cry and leave me in disgrace
All you ever done to me is harm
BRIDGE
I can't believe the things you done to me
I ask you how you work up the nerve
To strike me down for no good reason
I've felt more pain than I could deserve
So you decide to show me your diamond ring
You love one of the workers from the farm
You spray my face with a whole can o' mace
All you ever done to me is harm
BRIDGE
So run back now to your pretty farmer boy
I'm sure that he will hold you in his arms
But when he breaks you, don't cry to me
All you ever done to me is harm

Work No More

Well, I've done all I can do
Tryin' to get along with you
And it ain't gonna work no more
I've been battered, bent and bruised
Can't help feelin' I've been used
And it ain't gonna work no more
BRIDGE
Can't say the work's been very hard
But it's weighed upon my heart
And I've done all I can do
Tryin' to get along with you
And it ain't gonna work no more

Cryin' at the Bar
04:29

Tuesday nights are kinda slow, but that's alright by me
I need more booze and an empty house just ain't the place to be
All my friends had prior plans, but ask me if I care
I'm drunk as hell and that's my cross to bear
CHORUS
You might catch me lost in thought and lookin' kinda down
Sayin' that I wish she was around
You might catch me pay my bill and stagger to my car
But you won't catch me cryin' at the bar
I miss her so, and it's my fault: I failed to treat her right
All I did was her best friend, and that was just one night
She took my dog and the pickup truck and left for Birmingham
I love that bitch, but she don't give a damn

I coulda done comedy, I coulda done movies
I coulda done poetry, I coulda done lots of things
But it's gonna happen to me, yeah, it's gonna happen to me
I'm just gonna wait and see, but it's gonna happen to me
My mom and my dad told me that I could do anything
So I'm gonna pull my string, but I'm still waiting
But it's gonna happen to me, yeah, it's gonna happen to me
I'm just gonna wait and see, but it's gonna happen to me
A lotta guys just like me, without any energy
All winning by failing, without doing anything
Yeah, it's gonna happen to me, yeah, it's gonna happen to me
I'm just gonna wait and see, and it's gonna happen to me

Backburner Boy

Years and years ago, I loved you madly
I couldn't keep your smile out of my mind
I thought you and I'd wind up together
Because we knew how to treat each other kind
Your parents thought we made a pretty pairing
And all our friends thought us an item, too
But when it came to choosing between me and your old flame
You went back to the devil that you knew
CHORUS
Oh, but I'm doing fine without you
I've found another love who brings me joy
No, don't think, I don't think about you
But I'll always be your backburner boy
Once upon a time, I brought you lilies
When your old man had left you feeling blue
I didn't know they were your favorite flower
I saw them and they made me think of you
Remember when we both worked for the paper
And your old man had stepped out every night?
We'd stay up 'til morning, smoking cigarettes
While pouring out our hearts and pounding coffee at first light
CHORUS
Now I know your choice was nothing personal
Though few things are more personal than love
We can't choose to whom we are attracted
Any more than we can reach the stars above

Love Blind
04:28

It's been a while since I've felt a smile
Depression has kicked in my teeth,
Left me lyin' face-down in the street
Oh, but I'm still alive; all I need is some time
For while I have grown while bein' alone
The memory of you hasn't died
The first time I saw your face, it drove me right out of my mind
You crossed my eyes and left me love-blind
When our love was pure, I felt so self-assured
You laugh was cocaine, your smile like wine
Lovin' you felt so divine
Oh, but then came the hour when our romance turned sour
Addicted to you, no rehab would do
Cold turkey, I had to quit you
Your touch, your kiss, it drove me right out of my mind
You crossed my eyes and left me love-blind
I saw you today, and while I looked away
Love is like matter, it can't be destroyed
But resolve, it can crumble to dust
The last time I saw your face, it drove me right out of my mind
You crossed my eyes and left me love-blind

I Can't Relax

What can I do? All I think about is you
I can't relax and take it easy
All o' my friends say, "Oh, the pain will go away,"
If I just relax and take it easy
I always say, "That's easier said than done."
They just don't get it; you're not just anyone
What can I do? All I think about is you
I can't relax and take it easy
All o' my friends say, "Oh, the pain will go away,"
If I just relax and take it easy
You sunk your hooks right in my heart
They didn't hurt until they pulled me apart
