Inmates - The Good Life[00:00:00]
When you said you loved me[00:00:14]
Did you really love me[00:00:18]
Did the words just spill out[00:00:22]
Like drool on my pillow[00:00:26]
'Cause I was naked when you said those words[00:00:30]
But I felt covered in your whispered worship[00:00:38]
And as you pass out fast on my shoulder[00:00:46]
I imagine a child[00:00:54]
Waiting so sad and still for his mom to arrive[00:00:59]
Did she leave you an orphan[00:01:06]
In that big brown leather chair[00:01:10]
Said don't you move a muscle kid[00:01:14]
I'll be back in twenty years[00:01:18]
You were scared you were lonely[00:01:21]
But you must have been aware[00:01:25]
Life is a series of callouses[00:01:30]
This is just another layer[00:01:33]
So build them up tough it out[00:01:37]
Yeah that's your skin[00:01:41]
Don't let anyone under there[00:01:43]
When you said you needed me[00:02:00]
Did you really need me[00:02:04]
Or was it just someone[00:02:08]
Oh you'd take anything[00:02:11]
Am I first on that list of yours[00:02:15]
Or am I second or third[00:02:20]
So who's that ahead of me some harlot from Pittsburgh[00:02:23]
Or Detroit Santa Fe or San Diego[00:02:32]
I know you're so alone[00:02:40]
But how much affection does one guy really need[00:02:44]
Did you date a lot in high school[00:02:51]
Were you always chasing girls[00:02:55]
Couldn't you find some young valentine[00:02:59]
To steal your heart for good[00:03:03]
Were you content or contemptible[00:03:07]
Are your memories pleasant[00:03:11]
Or is it a string of endless flings[00:03:15]
Of bitter resentment[00:03:19]
Seems that what you want and what you need doesn't mean a thing[00:03:22]
We're just here for the taking[00:03:28]
When you said you'd hurt me[00:03:45]
Did you think you'd hurt me[00:03:49]
Are you really that cocky[00:03:53]
Yeah what a heartbreaker[00:03:56]
Well I've got my armor[00:04:00]
Yeah I've been through some battles before[00:04:04]
And I met your old girlfriend[00:04:08]
She said baby don't bother[00:04:12]
She told me you told her you'd hurt her[00:04:17]
Funny how familiar[00:04:25]
So how much of this relationship was rehearsed[00:04:29]
Did you act out as a child[00:04:36]
Were you always crying wolf[00:04:40]
Attention starved you tried too hard[00:04:45]
Just to get someone to look[00:04:48]
Now you're the wolf in secondhand clothing[00:04:52]
I'm the sheep in a pleated skirt[00:04:56]
It's an awkward form of payback[00:05:00]
But if it works for you it works[00:05:04]
It's that I recognize you're off white lies[00:05:07]
Still I lie beside you[00:05:12]
And that's what really hurts[00:05:14]
When you said you'd leave me[00:05:30]
Why haven't you left me[00:05:34]
What are we still doing here[00:05:38]
So desperate for company[00:05:42]
There's a greyhound on Jackson Street[00:05:46]
There's an airport in Council Bluffs[00:05:50]
Hell there's a car in the driveway[00:05:54]
Fifty ways to get lost[00:05:58]
But as I hold you and listen to you sleeping[00:06:02]
I'm starting to wonder[00:06:10]
If I really believe that you'll ever really leave[00:06:14]
Would you leave me an orphan[00:06:22]
In your big brown leather chair[00:06:25]
The one you lugged around[00:06:30]
From town to town for all these years[00:06:32]
It's a trophy of your childhood[00:06:37]
Like a shark tooth or gator skin boots[00:06:41]
But this one holds you prisoner[00:06:45]
It holds me prisoner too[00:06:49]
What we need to set us free[00:06:53]
Is to let go of each other[00:06:56]
Let go of everything[00:06:59]
When I said I loved you[00:07:15]
It was because I loved you[00:07:19]
When I said I needed you[00:07:23]
Well I really need you[00:07:27]
Yeah I guess you hurt me[00:07:30]
For once you're a man of your word[00:07:35]
Well guess what I'm leaving[00:07:38]
I can't be your prisoner[00:07:42]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:07:46]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:07:54]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:08:02]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:08:10]
I can't be your prisoner[00:08:17]
I can't do it I won't do it[00:08:19]
I can't be your prisoner[00:08:25]
I can't do it oh no I won't do it[00:08:27]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:08:33]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:08:40]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:08:48]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:08:56]
I can't be your prisoner oh no[00:09:03]
I can't be your prisoner[00:09:11]
