To The Bone lyrics

Well, I guess you know
You took me by surprise
When you told me that you'd broken all the rules
And the future felt as empty as your eyes
When I realized how far I was from you.

Chorus:
But they tell me that the truth'll set you free
>From the sad confusion of your lies
And it led me to a side of you that I'd refused to see
So I guess it's been a blessing in disguise

I got a day without nothing to do
And a "Do Not Disturb" on my door
I sorta looked for some mess that she'd made
Or her sweet little socks on the floor
But all that she left here was too many rooms
And just enough silence to break
And I can't look at her picture right now
Time's about all I can take.

Last night I sewed up her toys that were torn
And packed her suitcase again

We know better it was bitter, baby
Watching love become a lie
Now we're coming to that point of no returning
Do you really want to try ?

Are the reasons or the chances any better than before ?
Are we into something more than we imagined
That we really can't afford ?
Does it matter anymore ?

You're the biggest gamble that I've ever tried to win
Maybe more than I can stand to lose

Magdalene, are you thinking of the gentle man
Who turned your life around
Magdalene. did he leave you any reason to go on
Magdalene, does it make it any better
That you know he really loved you
Magdalene, all your sins have been forgiven, and he's gone.

Magdalene, did he give you back the freedom
To be something you believe in
Magdalene, are you strong enough to make it on your own

Maybe you've heard, your ole buddy's gone crazy
Searching for words, too deep, sweet reason and rhyme
Living alone, more and more and he's prone to be lazy
Turning to stone, blasted and blind.

Chorus:
Don't turn away there, hey, goddamn you, he was your brother
Turn on your father, sister, mother, brother
He was your friend.

Don't you condemn him, leave it to strangers

Nobody loves anybody anymore, dear
Nobody loves anybody anymore
Life ain't what it used to be
Or seemed to mean before
The moon is just the moon
The stars are only stars
And if it don't come easy, now
It ain't worth fighting for
Nobody loves anybody anymore, dear.

I'm back being me again
And you're back being you
Stronger for the loving war
That we've been through

Don't give me no more goddamn pain
Baby, the time has turned the tide
I didn't need no ball and chain
I got the numbers on my side

I... didn't want to love you
I... swear to God it's true
I... don't like dreaming of you
But I... but damn my soul, I do.

Y'see, I got hit so hard, I thought I was dyin'
Then I fell so far, I thought I could fly

I met her in a shooting gallery, speeding like a goose
Back when both of us were used to making strangers
She shook me down for all I had and every way but loose
But I was still too juiced to feel the danger
And anyway now, anymore you don’t know which is worse
Falling out of love or left behind
I just seen the sweetest dreaming wind up like a curse
Maybe one too many times.

Chorus:

Go on, girl, take your chances
See how long you can go on from man to man
I can read the lines between your stolen glances
And I know it's time to fold this losing hand
'Cause you're drawn to the flame
By the thrill and the shame
Of the cheating game they taught you how to play
But there's a price to that high lie you're living
And you've still got the devil to pay

Darling, the seasons are changing
See now, the leaves, how they die
Love needs no reason for ending
Come kiss your baby goodbye.

Darling, the last time you lied, was it really the last time
Have all the tears that you cried simply dried up and gone
All in the world you can hurt anymore is my feelings
What ever love ever was, never lasted too long.
