Lyrics
PRIVATE HELL
w/m by W. S. Burnside
Why'd you have to target me, and not just let me pass?
I'm sure I know but-I-don't-wanna-show, the world I'm such a naive ass!
Whispers in the darkness don't make up for all the lies you tell,
If you would stop it'd do a lot, to save me from this private hell.
Why'd you go and tell, all those stories to my friends?
Yeah you went ahead and led them down that proverbial primrose path again?
Shame on you for layin' down that lyin' rap.
Shame on me for buyin' into your line of crap.
Don't know what I'd do,
if I didn't have you,
to make believe your
heart is true
Don't know where I'd be if
I didn't have you to see and
Tell me what a fool I am!
SOLO
Don't know what I'd do
if I hadn't had you,
to make believe your
heart was true
Don't know where I'd be if
I hadn't had, you to see and
Show me what a fool I was!
Now as I make my way
through the day
I do my best to stay away, from all that stupid stuff
And I spend my time lost in rhyme to try and, smooth out the rough
So on and on and on it goes and where it stops
no one can tell
But in a pinch it just enough,
to save me from that
private hell
To save me from that
private hell
To save me from that
private hell
To save me from that
private hell
To save me from that
private hell
To save me from that
private hell
