tied with lace

You were my best friend my lover and my girlfriend
I was a sinner a lepper and your worst friend

you opened up your arms and let me in your life
I was afraid of harm and shaped my words into a knife

Blushing standing next to me
what is it that makes you trust me
romance isn't lost on me
but your dedication is a mystery

watching sons of anarchy every wednesday on the couch
when I got back from work, if we didn't you would pout

it was cute and I liked you
but often times I wanted to get rid of you

Just recently singled myself
I struggled to see past myself

I knew how I was treating you
but it seems that only invigorated you

our first time still haunts me
bacardi at an impromptu party
8 shots in and we're acting grotty
If I could get back to this night I would surely stop me

I was your first and the most painful thing is that I know that will always be the worst
I think I broke you
now it's not sex for you unless there's someone choking you

I had no interest in commitment
women's vision, man's prison

I got jealous from time to time
but drowned my thoughts with floods of wine

eventually things between us grew
thoughts of children and "I do"
but since circumstances saw us part
I don't think I'll be coming back to you

You could walk through the door tomorrow
I'd forget everything and take the plunge back into instant sorrow
not thinking about tomorrow

My place in life is too small to invite the girl who claims my nights
the one who takes them all

When I'm with her life is great but it's not too long
'fore i'm plotting my escape

I think that man needs time alone
to heal his bones and balm his soul

constant companions i'm craving to abandon
the bad me needs a place to play
so when i'm with you it's in good standing

the grass ins't greener
it's just their lawn isn't poisoned with dish cleaner
mine's been fucking driven to ether
just worked 14 hours and now i'm going to wire her car speakers

dating was great
hear from you once a week
you'd come over and play with me
dance with me, romance with me
then don those pants and flee
it's dangerous to hang out here with me

I work in demolition
my trucks missing it's ignition
I can cook my own prescriptions
and i'm too friendly with a lot of women

but you have this plan
to shape this lump of rock into something you'd call a man

my flaws aren't hanging right in front of you
there's a lot of things I kept from you
and this is where it all starts to come unglued

If we spend 4 hours together and the rest of our time lying
our time together becomes more trying

but then it happened
I stopped drinking
the way I feel has got me thinking

one day turns into three
before I knew it she'd moved in with me
I start selling my possessions
she's become my new obsession

it's not love
it's just an addiction
the more sex we have the faster it quickens
endorphin rush?
I just like seeing you blush
breathing down your neck at the mall
just to take you into a stall

Now I text you all through work
your delayed replies are starting to hurt
now you see what you've done to me
you've gone and softened Bad Andy

You like bad boys
tools and toys
guys with muscles who make lots of noise
that was me you silly queen
you had to make a boyfriend out of me

it's ironic, the man you hate is the only one for whom you'll wait
the man you made now can't get laid
for me that's it your plays been made

The only time that people like me
is when I'm single and I'm feisty
Take on anyone who tries to fight me
always start my night the right way

Spoiled you rotten from the start
guaranteed to silence my heart

I'm too subdued when i'm with you
It dulls my effect
I loose my woo
even after all of that
there's still a place in my bed for you
