Jerry Cantrell - Hurt A Long Time lyrics

I alone

Cry beside her

Pushed away

Once too often

Face that lie

Vision changes

Shade is ice

The words are poison

Changes made now why can’t i

Fill the face in the mirror

What I want still you won’t give

But I cannot hate you

Oh, you’re a monster

Blood alone

Stains the sorry

Tired eyes

My skin seems heavy

Mind astray

The sane still laughing

Images

All worth losing

Changes made now can’t i

Fill the face in the mirror

What I want still you won’t give

But I cannot hate you

Oh, you’re a monster. you don’t know

The hate I have

Inside, if you could see it you’d be

Terrified, you would

Kill me at once. but even by killing

Me you can’t free

Yourself from my hatred. you can

Kill my body

But I’ll never leave you in peace...

You cannot believe what your in for

The screams burn your eyes

The feeling of leaving yourself dies

Scratch out the real you

Time ticking away the killing

Choking on sorrow

Now you’re dead and didn’t listen

Gave into the fear

I’m not the one who takes from you

I need you

In time there is no joy

But still you’ve lived

I just can’t see when I lie

I am

So few like them

In the way
