lyrics

They say don’t you go judge a book by its cover
People might surprise you won't you take it easy brother
But there ain’t no surprise in the shady situations
You keep talking sly while you’re feeling desperation

They say give some slack trust a for a while
Don’t you know you give an inch they're gonna take a mile
Fool me once they tell me that the blame is on you
But I feel it in my gut so it is on me too

Another hand stretched out before me
Doesn’t repetition get rather boring?

I can let go but trusts another story
Too many words and the scene is getting gory
If this ain’t true then flag me as a false
Don’t you tell me the game show me how you walk

It ain’t that I want to lose you
But no one in their right mind would ever choose you

I ain’t trying to ride an anchor as its dragging bottom
I ain’t trying to trade for riches if you haven’t got them
I ain’t trying to throw you a rope
If you think dragging me down is just one big joke
I ain’t trying to dirty my hands with intentions that are rotten
