Verse 1

You line them up look at your shoes
You hang names on your wall then you shoot them all
You fly around in planes that bring you down
To meet me who loves you, like me crashing to the ground

Are you so lonely, you don't even know me, but you'd like to stone me

Why don't you tell it like it really is, before you go on home
Em D6sus2 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 x2

Verse 2

I used to treat you right, give you my time
But when I'd turn my back on you Then you do what you do

And then you go home With you on your own What do you really know
