I only smoke when I drink I only drink when I'm lonely I numb myself when I think I'm not the one that your holding. When I remember the time You said you were mine And I was your prize And you were my Romeo I only smoke when I drink I only drink when I'm lonely I only cuss when I'm mad I'm only mad when I hate you I only cry when I'm sad I'm only sad cause I miss you And then I lay in my bed With somebody new And he doesn't hold me like you used to do I only cuss when I'm mad I'm only mad when I hate you And every time that I come here to this bar Oh, I smoke and I drink I cuss and I fight Itchin every inch of this broken heart I only flirt when I'm drunk I'm drunk cause I want attention I'm substituting your love With just another addiction Oh I ain't proud of my self It's bad to my health But I'm blaming you, The one who destroyed me I only smoke when I drink I only drink I'm lonely I only smoke when I drink I only drink I'm lonely

Friday night beneath the stars In a field behind your yard You and I are painting pictures in the sky And sometimes we don't say a thing Just listen to the crickets sing Everything I need is right here by my side And I know everything about you I don't wanna live without you I'm only up when you're not down Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground It's like no matter what I do Well, you drive me crazy half the time The other half I'm only trying to Let you know that what I feel is true And I'm only me when I'm with you Just a small town boy and girl Living in a crazy world Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true And I don't try to hide my tears The secrets, or my deepest fears Through it all nobody gets me like you do And you know everything about me You say that you can't live without me I'm only up when you're not down Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground It's like no matter what I do Well, you drive me crazy half the time The other half I'm only trying to Let you know that what I feel is true And I'm only me when I'm with you When I'm with anybody else It's so hard to be myself Only you can tell That I'm only up when you're not down Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground It's like no matter what I do Well, you drive me crazy half the time The other half I'm only trying to Let you know that what I feel is true And I'm only me, who I wanna be Well, I'm only me when I'm with you With you, oh yeah

Took a lonely feeling just to let them in, and sink like the sun goes down Never close to heaven Feel my feet were burning from the cigarette on the ground There's blood on my hands, there's blood on my hands Yeah, there's blood It's getting hard to listen when the clock is ticking Counting down the days gone by Praying for an answer to another question that will leave you dry You won't understand, with your head in the sand No, you won't But I'll curse the ground where you kneel Till I grow my hair to my heels Spike your water, your wine While you waste my precious time Every time I drink, and try to stop my thinking About the things I said and done Stop the world from turning faster Then I'm learning not to just hide, and run You won't understand, with your head in the sand No, you won't, yeah Love came, and went faster than a penny's bend in this hot machine Nowhere near the devil just somewhere in between you, and me Sworn to secrecy And I'll curse the ground where you kneel Till I grow my hair to my heels Spike your water, your wine There's blood on my hands, there's blood on my hands There's blood on my hands, there's blood on my hands Yeah, there's blood There's blood on my hands, yeah, there's blood Took a lonely feeling just to let them in, and sink like the sun goes down Never close to heaven, feel my feet were burning from the cigarette on the ground

I bite the hand 'cause this hands feeds off me Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you Friend you did claim this Too bad you can't speak the truth Give respect 'Cause the rule is blood for blood Beatings are what you'll inherit this time Fist Bait, your new name Your pain is my shrine Pulverize and break Determination Pleasure I negate Your pain brings me salvation Give respect 'Cause the rule is blood for blood I was born of tension Anger came from frustration I can't back down from aggression Some hard knocks taught me this lesson Give respect 'Cause the rule is blood for blood Give respect 'Cause the rule is blood for blood.
