You took me home I drank to much Cause of you my liver turns to dust Cold rust takes cold creeping cool pain Do you understand what I need? When you feel your soul drop to the floor Like a whole like an open bleeding sore Then you'll have bleed like I've bleed Then you'll have bleed this all left Suck me down, its time rock and roll Lets hit the bar, lets loose control One false move you took me home One false move your all alone But it looks so good and it feels so nice I've paid my price I'll cut you out just to hear you scream, Get away from me And I can feel my heart beat racin' As I realize what I must do Get away from you should've turned around like you Last time I got a taste of you I should've turned around like you And I say we're through You have haunt me like a plague Weakness, we've worked at But I digress After all this You're just like all the rest Suck me down, its time rock and roll Lets hit the bar, lets loose control One false move you took me home One false move your all alone
