Lyrics
The Ballad Of Johnny Loveless
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.
You had me second guess my instinct
As I gave you the benefit of the doubt
My heart gave in to you
You showed me you didn't care
I never thought you'd be the one to stand on the other side of the fence
Good god I was wrong but I'll never be wrong again
What did you want from me
I gave you a solid friendship
You picked the wrong fucker to deceive
Now you got yourself a conflict
You broke a solid trust
A trust that'll never mend
I gave you everything
But now I'm gonna watch you fall
No one will save you now boy
You better run
Your game is over now but
My game has just begun
Even though I moved on
And started all over again
My guts wrenching from the fact
That you had a hand in this
As well as me moving on
I'll be there for your demise
Your downfall will be at the expense of your ignorance
You hold the truth
