She said it’s all good, casts it off like it’s nothing
But her eyes say she’s looking for dollars and
Her hands are shaking as shes telling me something
Kept far from the law
But ain’t been innocent
And she said, “Well, it’s easier to say, harder to make amends.”
Better keeping close what keeps me down
Giving it all to the night
All that’s left of you
Living just enough for the city
Could it get easier
It’s tearing ya up but it won’t last
Living fast and
Getting ink that you make up
You could have made something ordinary
But don’t want to
Be king of a world that you can’t be alone in
I don’t want to come home again
Not if I can’t keep feeling like this
Better keeping close what keeps you down
Well, look at you now
It’s like you’re just something else
But boy don’t you handle it well
For anyone able to tell
