When I first met you, girl
You seemed so full of life
Yeah, I saw fire in your eyes
But honey, something's wrong today
The flames have died and gone away
And I see darkness deep inside
Well honey, this mess you made ain't my idea of fun
Time slows when you're staring down the barrel of a gun
Oh girl, you wanted drama, well, I think the stage is set
They walk me to the gallows with a sign around my neck
Says it's a sin to lie
And stealing is a crime
I took the fall for you
No, don't forget
You gotta make the change
You better mend your ways
Cos honey, now there's no one left to blame
You said you were in debt
And you began to cry
I can't believe that was a lie
I pawned my best guitar and saw
You go straight to the liquor store
I just can't see the funny side
Well honey, this mess you made ain't my idea of fun
Time slows when you're staring down the barrel of a gun
Oh girl, you wanted drama, well, I think the stage is set
They walk me to the gallows with a sign around my neck
Says it's a sin to lie
And stealing is a crime
I took the fall for you
No, don't forget
You gotta make the change
You better mend your ways
Cos honey, now there's no one left to blame
