Lyrics:
He used to say I had lemon lips,
Hard to resist my bitter kiss,
Spent hours staring into my eyes,
Didn't bother to say goodbye.
He put our love on trial,
Black-out drinking was his style,
The Maker's Mark was the judge,
I chaperoned, but held no grudge.
Our love was like a broken vase,
The one he threw at my face,
Tore off my panties that very night,
And I never felt more alive.
Chorus:
We could really hurt each other, but...
We had enough passion to start the place on fire,
The love we made drowned me in desire.
If I had known the fortune I found in you,
I would have thought twice, before I was untrue.
Invited out for drinks with a friend,
So much more, I can't pretend,
Nothing waiting at home for me,
Only silence and misery.
Made a mistake, I can't take it back,
Thought he had everything that you lack,
Now I can see I was such a fool,
Threw it away and broke the rule.
You're gone forever I can't amend,
Left this world, we weren't even friends,
Wish we could talk one more time,
Only see you in my mind.
Repeat Chorus
I wish I could call you, but you can't pick up,
Your house key still hangs by the key to my truck,
I see all your paintings every time that I wake up,
Still wear all the t-shirts that you didn't pack up.
Repeat Chorus
He used to say I had lemon lips,
Hard to resist my bitter kiss,
Spent hours staring into my eyes,
Never got (didn't bother) to say goodbye...
