Heartbreak Junky

So you fell in love

And it wasn't with me

Hey, that's fine it's about time I let go

But whatever curse

You put here in me

But can you lift it, babe, before I hit the road

You were a charmer

I was a heartbreak junky

You were a diamond

I was the heap of fool's gold

You were the jet plane

I was a parachute failing

I was the cheap ad

When you were the centerfold

Then my sun set hard

On Carolina

Where she howled about the Pinder county line

And her six string fingers ran the length of some boy's body

In younger dreams, I thought that body might be mine

You were a cold dress

I was a heartbreak junky

Now you're another

And I'm a flashback son

Yeah, I'm a waste lane

You've got all your milk and honey

And back then I swore you were the only one

So listen to me, baby, I've been dyin' to know

How to give up, get out, stake on

Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before

She was so sweet, baby, so sweet maybe

I could reconcile what I ripped in two

That haphazard, half hearted love I was makin' with you

Yeah, I made with you

But now the bars have closed

And the city sweeps tight

As i ramble home my wretched merry way

When down was up and feelin' bad felt so right

I thought that vertigo was here to stay

We're talkin' vampire and at the time it seemed funny

When all the demons left the woodwork to play

With an angel and a heartbreak junky

Stuck in there, rock bottom masquerade

So disconnect me, baby, I've been dyin' to know

How to give up, get out, stake on

Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before

She was so sweet, baby, so sweet maybe

I could reconcile what I ripped in two

That haphazard, half hearted love I was makin' with you

Yeah, maybe with you

So when Eden burns behind your ear in the rearview

And you're up to find the stranger paradise

Where you can sing your own way out

Where you know that I'll be 'round

Where the sweet top woman fadin' slowly

On a lovesick mind
