They'd sell off your soul for a pair of new wings
And anything gold they remember

And I'll talk real loud goddamn right I'll be heard

Well it took a long time, I came clean with myself
I come clean out of love with my lover
I still love her
Loved her more when she used to be sober and I was kinder
