There's a woman in the corner swear she's weighing me down
Never gettin' sober 'round her in this town
And every time she smiles I try not to drown
But it's her I'm seein' when I hit lovesick ground
I think maybe she is poison and it tastes kinda sweet
When she's around
I think she's good for me
But she's bad and true
And I take the sword and the crown
Each time I look down
I'm on lovesick ground
Before her
I was doin' just fine as a king
In my castle
Playing house (I forgot to take off my wedding ring)
Now my walls are all burnin' and all dark and black
And I know if I walk away
She'd never take me back
I think she could be an angel
But with intentions of sin
Got hands of gold and I cover it all in skin
And she's tryin' to talk me off these legs I learned how to hang from
But she knows I fell the second she fell here from Eden
Lovesick girl
Lookin' over the edge of the world
Out yonder past the cotton in the fields
I know you feel like a big fish in a small sea
But pullin' me up is all you're gonna get out of me
Lovesick girl
You fell first
But I fell harder and it hurt
I can't read through the lines on this page
But I know any man who loves you's gonna die
And they'll all say
'Cause I know what they'll all say
I think she's capable of darkness
But maybe souls made it bright
In her glow
I didn't mind being her shadow
But I'd follow her to hell and freeze over twice
'Cause when I met her here
I knew that her heaven was lost long ago
