Jerry Cantrell - Breaks My Back lyrics

Through windows by my bed

Miles away I rest my weary head

Next to you

No coldness in my eye

Cut the skin and take my sorry hide

Cover you

Make love with you

It bleeds upon my back

Strapped with silver tacks

Wish I'd loved you more

And never shut that door

The waves that run the shore

Wash away the stones of pain we bore

I tortured you

I tried to drown my hate

Underneath an ocean I still wait

Remembering you, always true

It bleeds upon my back

Strapped with silver tacks

Wish I'd loved you more

And never shut that door

Restitution day

All I have I give away

To be with you

If it breaks my back

Through windows by my bed

Miles away I rest my weary head

Next to you

No coldness in my eye

Cut the skin and take my sorry hide

Cover you

Make love with you

It bleeds upon my back

Strapped with silver tacks

Wish I'd loved you more

And never shut that door

Restitution day

All I have I give away

To be with you

If it breaks my back
