[Verse 1]
Tongue is sharp
Got an ax to grind
Girls go wrong, men go right after them
I don't win and it's a compromise
You'll be the loser that pays the dividend

[Pre-Chorus]
Far from you you'll find me
Such an easy target and a tragedy
You're just a shiver looking for a spine
You can have your way, but you can't have mine

[Verse 2]
If I had one wish you'd go away
I haven't snapped yet, but I'm on the brink of it
And I'm not as dumb as the look on your face
You'll never be half the man your mama is

[Verse 3]
Overloaded by the way you talk
A hairpin trigger that I can't stop
Empty words taking up my time
And you can have your way
But you can't have mine
[Chorus]
'Cause every shot, baby, it feels like a resurrection
I'm looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle again
You show up and it starts another chain reaction
Oh but I can't tell if it's you or the drink
It's too hard to know
'Cause it hurts to think

[Pre-Chorus]
Far from you you'll find me
Such an easy target and a tragedy
You're just a shiver looking for a spine
You can have your way, but you can't have mine

[Chorus]
'Cause every shot, baby, it feels like a resurrection
I'm looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle again
You show up and it starts another chain reaction
Oh but I can't tell if it's you or the drink
It's too hard to know
'Cause it hurts to think
Yeah it hurts to think
