lyrics

I went back to the river to find myself
Instead I almost drown
When a wave of emotion I’d bottled up came crashing down
My hearts black don’t ask about my head (bout my head)
You used me up and left me here for dead

But you should never underestimate me
I’m like a dog I’ll use teeth if I have too

So I’ll see you in hell baby
I bet you couldn’t tell by the look in my eyes I saw through your disguise
Two stories to each tale maybe but
You can hold onto all of your alibis
I’m taking back my life

You like to use words like choke holds, I thought that you should know, I thought that you should know (I let you go)
The moment I found out the person you are, I raged war so rest assured

That I’ll see you in hell baby
I bet you couldn’t tell by the look in my eyes I saw through your disguise m
Every story has two tales maybe
But you can hold onto all of your alibis
I’m taking back my life

But don’t you ever underestimate me
I’m like a dog I use teeth if I have too

Yeah I’ll see you in hell baby
I bet you couldn’t tell by the look in my eyes that I knew you’d lied
Our stories I won’t tell maybe
But You can hold onto all of your alibis
I’m taking back my life
