Lyrics
I've seen the lie of the land, you're dangerous, duplicitious
You could break somebody's heart, think you can play the game good and get away clean, that you won't have to pay, the gates of hell are beckoning, shining in the light, it just looks so good, so damned nice, to do just what ain't right.
I've seen you before, you're a dog at the door, if that's what love is, its wasted on you.
Cigarette in the dirt, look over your shoulder, I've given til it hurts
Cigarette in the dirt, you're no knight in shining armour
This isn't love its only hurt, the worlds a little colder
There's something pure about you, its not your heart, its not your soul
Put yourself in my shoes, well can't you see, I see right thru you
you think you've earned the right to see, the world revolve around you
Shining in the light, you're glorious in your own sight
I've seen you before, you're a dog at the door, if that's what love is, its wasted
Cigarette in the dirt, wake up before its over
I've given til it hurts, look over your shoulder
This isn't love - its only hurt
I've seen you before you're a dog at the door
if that's what love is, its wasted on you
Cigarette in the dirt, look over your shoulder
Cigarette in the dirt, the worlds a little colder
I've given til it hurts
Wake up before its over, cigarette in the dirt
This isn't love its only hurt
