Lyrics:
I am the type that gives the benefit of the doubt
maybe still, but I'm way more cautious now
my adult life has been the product roadkill of it
I was close to my parents
and we lived in a bubble for many years
We were happy and I was swimming in love
The years of crazy started when I found my dad dead
of a heart attack
on our family farm
and mother died four years later
I was young when I married
and we tried to have kids for many years
I miscarried every time, and the marriage fell apart
After a time I met another man
I was head over heels for him
I didn't know you could be so broke that you would lie and steal
to get a fix
you never fix the past
you can't outrun the bad breaks
I believed
everything he told me
He drug me through the mud till I had nothing
I came home from the office
I had worked at the same place for many years
He was hanging in the hall
and I never saw such a peaceful look …...more
...more
