Where It Hurts

Graveblankets Where It Hurts歌詞
1.Where It Hurts

I'm a liar and i'm a cheat
And i can't stand on my own two feet
And i know that we disagree
But if you would just listen to me

Show me where it hurts

You let me have it between the eyes
And that should come as no surprise
Cause i know that i've hurt you some
So now we know where we both come from

Show me where it hurts

Who will give in first?
Who's gonna try to stop this curse?

It seems to me there is no resolve
To this game 'round which our lives revolve
And each time you walk through my door
I ask 'can we hurt each other any more?'

Show me where it hurts


2.Safety Net

I can't be your safety net anymore
I hang around all day to see you finally take the fall
I can't be your safety net anymore

You've outgrown me little child
You'll see it yourself in a little while
But oh i can't pretend
I thought our time would never end

I can't be your safety net anymore
To see you trip and catch yourself is more than i'll endure
I can't be safety net anymore

You disappear for days on end
And then you say 'it's always good to see you again'
But i never learned
That you always had to return
Life without risk isn't life at all
When you can walk and run but still love to crawl
You still love to crawl

I can't be your safety net anymore


3.Knoxville Girl

I met her at a walmart
She was tryin' to find a spare part
And i thought i could help find it
She said she just moved into town
With a smile that turned into a frown
And she grabbed my hand and held on too tight

Knoxville girl

She said she was a kentucky girl
Who wanted to see more of the world
And there was desperation in her eyes
I asked if i could drive her home
Cause her car broke down she was all alone
But she said she didn't have a place to stay

Knoxville girl

She moved in with me
And we were both so happy
Until the day i happened upon the news

That told of the knoxville murder armed robbery

She needed me for cover
So she acted like my lover
But i knew she'd soon be through with me
I confronted her with the facts
The smile on her face, well it fell like an axe
And that's when the bullets began to fly

Knoxville girl


4.The Papercuts

The papercuts were my favorite band
Jangling like unamplified electric guitars
Songs of heartbreak and empty hands
When you heard them you could feel the scars
Two lead singers - a guy and a girl
When they sang together i forgot about this world

So why did they stop making records?!!

One hit single and they could've been
Not a struggling pop band but an institution
All their tours lost too much cash
But you could never sense it - they kicked so much ass
One by one they all lost their shirts
I miss that band so much it fucking hurts

Why did they stop making records?!!


5.Gods And Monsters

The devil was on stilts this morning
He walked out back to see
The ten foot wine glass he used to ensnare me

Well i wanted to burn down the barn
Where he spent most his summer days
Well i lit a match and watched the haystacks burn
But the devil walked into the blaze

Gods and monsters

Well i lived in a small northern town
Where scratch had always had a foothold
But i always felt certain
I could stop the infernal cold

Gods and monsters

He'd taken control of a woman
That we all knew and loved
But she didn't recognize
The devil's hand inside her glove

She had power and influence
That she'd always used with care
But slowly and surely
Our lives became a nightmare

Gods and monsters


6.Candy

You look at me and i wanna take a bite
I look at you and i don't have to think twice

Cause you're as sweet as sin and i know the trouble i'm in
You're as sweet as sin and i wanna taste again
Candy - i'm happy for a while
Candy - if only you're smile would not melt away

You're bad for me but i feel good right now
I'd walk away if i knew just how

Cause you're as sweet as sin and i know the trouble i'm in
You're as sweet as sin so let it all begin
Candy - i'm happy for a while
Candy - if only you're smile would not melt away

We had romance and long, long fights
But i wanted more and i felt it was my right

That was when the door slowly closed
And that strange expression on your face just froze

Candy - i'm happy for a while
Candy - if only you're smile would not melt away


7.Less Blue

On the town like a sailor on leave
I wanted no problem - did not want to grieve
All was going well but all for a fee

I'm not really sure when you came into view
But for me now this earth is less blue

The whole world stopped for eyes and hair of brown
My head was reeling my mouth made no sound
What once seemed stable now shaky ground

Well i don't know how i met up with the likes of you
But for me now this earth is less blue

The more you talk the more i want to believe
I keep looking but there's nothing up your sleeve
Your sweet lips make my heart feel so clean

Well i don't know how i met up with the likes of you
But for me now this earth is less blue


8.Death Ranch

Fatten me up
I'm ready for the death ranch

Cold ground all around
One of these days i'm gonna lay down


9.You're Gonna Wish

When i get used to disappointment i'll be sure to let you know
When i figure out where the truth went that's where i'll go
There's something so satisfying knowing you were right all along
But when you lose everything you're gonna wish you were wrong

You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have
You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham
You end up with nothing - still you have to pay
And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray

Well i've been through all of this so many times i can't believe
It can still conquer me and make me grieve
When what you want and what you are can never meet
You're gonna wish you knew how - you knew how to dream

You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have
You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham
You end up with nothing - still you have to pay
And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray

You're gonna wish for another wish for another wish
