Well I wish that I was somebody else
Cause I can't seem to stand myself and the things I do
Cause I want you and nobody else
You got one in the chamber
One on the shelf
And one in the corner crying for help over you

Every time that you come around
You get me up, you bring me down
When you take me out, get me stoned
You lead me on and right back home
You taste like whiskey, you punch like wine
You go down hard and look so fine
You fall out of love, you're right back in
You get your buzz and get thick skin
You love like a stranger, that's when I break just like a bone
But it's better than being alone

You say things when I leave the room
My ears they ring and I'm confused
When you take my strings, you tie me a noose
You either give me love or you give me the blues
Hey girl just take a good look at the mess we've made
We've got blood on our hands, blood on the blade
And I see the innocence starting to fade in you, in you.

Every time that you come around
You get me up, you bring me down
When you take me out, get me stoned
You lead me on and right back home
You taste like whiskey, you punch like wine
You go down hard and look so fine
You fall out of love and you're right back in
You get your buzz and get thick skin
You love like a stranger
But there's no danger in the telephone, and it's better than being alone.
