You can tear me down if you want to

And tell 'em I really wasn't it

Dressed up wearin' them high heels

You really know how to throw a fit

The battle rages onward

As you tell 'em all what they wanna know

Don't be surprised when I load it on up

And I get outta here and go

I've been biting my tongue

Steady on the run from the man I used to be

And I've been puttin' in a good year's work

Trying to make you wanna see

But your girls go out, they all start drinkin'

You think them thoughts, and you say what you're thinkin'

And I'm pretty tired of your petty-ass s**t

Breaks me down and makes me wanna quit

I'ma be honest, I don't want to

But you really leave me no choice

I can hear the hateful rollin' right off the rasp of your voice

So I grabbed my pen, I wrote down a line

Left it on the counter for you to find

Girl, I hope you cry up a river

This here is what it reads

I've been biting my tongue

Steady on the run from the man I used to be

And I've been puttin' in a good year's work

Trying to make you want to see

'Cause your girls go out, they all start drinkin'

You think them thoughts, and you say what you're thinkin'

And I'm pretty tired of your petty-ass s**t

Breaks me down and makes me wanna quit

So let 'em tear a hole in my big dreams

Maybe it'll help your pride

Remember when I said I loved you

Well, honey, I reckon I lied

Well, I took your clothes, threw 'em all in the yard

Grabbed my bags, when I lit up a spark

Watch me burn down 441, you never meant nothin' to me

'Cause I've been biting my tongue

Steady on the run from the man I used to be

And I've been puttin' in a good year's work

Trying to make you want to see

'Cause your girls go out, they all start drinkin'

You think them thoughts, and you say what you're thinkin'

And I'm pretty tired of your petty-ass s**t

Breaks me down and makes me wanna quit
