Lyrics

I was a bad road that you were on
I was a bad love that done you wrong
I held on too tight, you held on too long
Oh, I was a bad love

I was all mind and no heart
I tore the edges until the edges tore apart
I tried to keep an even keel, at least ‘til dark
And then I was all mind

Sometimes the ticking is the bomb
And you shake, wide awake, in the calm
Cold light of your kitchen

Sinking in
It’s a bitter pill, this medicine
I’ve never been harder up than this place that I’m in
I was a desperate man

I was your engine light blinking red
I was the empty side of your bed
Another hungry mouth demanding to be fed
I was so lonely

Things were different when I was a younger man
Things were different when I was a younger man
Things were different when I was a younger man
When I was all heart, when I could do no wrong
And I was afraid of nothing
I was afraid of nothing
I was afraid of nothing
