[Verse 1]
Tell by the way you walked in the door
How the night was gonna be
Smell on your breath, you were out of cigarettes
We just had to let you be
You called a name, you needed someone to blame
You just wouldn't let it go
I heard it all with my ear to the wall
Some things I wish I didn't know
[Chorus]
Now that I stop and I think about it
I remember you well
You promised heaven like you believed it
Oh, but those days were hell
Oh, but those days were hell
[Verse 2]
Afraid to say how I felt that day
That's when blue took you
They finally cuffed you at the pawn shop on main
I thought for sure you were through
We found you waitin' in a Greyhound station
In Mariaetta at night
It was Christmas Eve and I couldn't sleep
Knowing we'd lost the fight
[Chorus]
Now that I stop and I think about it
I remember you well
You promised heaven like you believed it
Oh, but those days were hell
Oh, but those days were hell
Oh, but those days were hell
[Chorus]
Now that I stop and I think about it
I remember you well
You promised heaven like you believed it
Oh, but those days were hell
Oh, but those days were hell
Oh, but those days were hell
[Outro]
It's 3 a.m. and you're messed up again
You're bustin' holes in the wall
