Lyrics
Flinty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It doesn’t go away, when you’re trying not to stay
It doesn’t go away no matter the days
When trying to forget, push it down with cigarettes or better yet
Burn it up into a fire, but none of it goes
’Cause I know what I know, and I know what I shouldn’t
It’s a loathsome truth between us now
Send it up in smoke, the embers all aglow
But it doesn’t go away, this aching old pain
Ooo-oo-ooooooo
No, it doesn’t, when you’re trying
No it doesn’t go away, no matter the days
'Cause I know what I know, and I know what I shouldn’t
It’s a loathsome truth between us now
If you’re on the level...
If you’re on the level...
Are you?
If you’re on the level, on the level, you can talk to me (talk to me)
If you’re on the level, I’m gonna level with you anyway
Are you… flinty (strong)
To hang my secrets on?
If you’re on the level, on the level, you can talk to me (talk to me)
If you’re on the level, I’m gonna level with you anyway
Are you… flinty (strong)
To hang my secrets on?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Come back, dummy! Get it, get home
Come back, dummy! Never leave me alone
Bring some sweetness, sugar, your drug
Gimme sickness, summa summa your love
’Cause it doesn’t go away, even trying out the strays
No it doesn’t go away no matter the days
Send it up in smoke, the embers even show oh oh oh
But it doesn’t go away this aching old pain
