Pretty Things

Black night sky before you said goodbye
Your rose colored sache and your cigarette ash
You left with your girlfriends before I made amends

14 days of pouring rain
Drips through the cracks around your window pain
Filled up the holes wearing layers of your clothe
And on the tags you wrote my name
Why can't you make up your mind this time?

I've been reading all the letters that you wrote me
And all the fairy tales you sold me
And all the pretty things you said

I can't stop thinking about the way that you control me
And now you wish you'd never known me
I wish you'd come and hold me, hold me, hold me

I was staying at your house
And you've been sleeping here
You're acting like momma to both his kids
Got a two car garage
Backyard that don't end and you're my only friend

When the sun goes down this old house gets dark
It's hard to paint a portrait of my broke heart
I pick this up and the room fell right back apart
And now I don't know where to start
Now that you've made up your mind this time...

I've been reading all the letters that you wrote me
And all the fairy tales you sold me
And all the pretty things you said

I can't stop thinking 'bout the way that you control me
And now you wish you'd never known me
How I wish you'd come and hold me, hold me...?

There is no beginning
Do you think that you're winning?
You've made up your mind...
Why don't you make up the mind?...

I've been reading all the letter that you wrote me
All the fairy tales you sold me
And all about the pretty things you said

I can't stop thinking 'bout the way that you control me
And I wish you'd never known me
I wish you'd come and hold me, hold me
And I've been sleeping in the place
That you left me, do you regret me?
Did you forget me?

I can't stop thinking 'bout the way that you control me
How you wish you'd never known me
How I wish you'd come and hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
